Aquila Theatre

Aquila Theatre brings a bold and compelling new adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s timeless tale The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Written in 1885 and inspired by a strange and feverish dream, Stevenson created this Gothic horror to expose the treacherous and terrifying nature of a fractured self. Unable to quell his darkest desires, Dr. Henry Jekyll becomes convinced he can separate the good and evil within. Using science, he attempts to sever his two identities and unleashes a terrifying double life through the creation of Edward Hyde. What begins as a daring experiment spirals into a desperate struggle between the two identities, as each battles for control and survival. Which side will win? With Aquila’s signature style—its bold physicality, top-notch actors, and inventive staging—this gripping theatrical adaptation dives deep into the human psyche, asking timeless and urgent questions about morality, repression, and the battles born out of darkness.

Aquila Theatre will journey out onto the fog-shrouded moors of England with this spine-tingling tale written by the acclaimed Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and adapted by James Lavender. This brand-new take on the legendary Sherlock Holmes mystery is a comedy driven and utterly suspenseful theatrical adaptation. A play within a play, Holmes and Watson return to the scene of the crime to recreate their case of The Hound of the Baskervilles, at The Dartmoor Village Theatre and Tea Rooms. They are joined in this endeavor by the beloved Mrs. Hudson, and the self-acclaimed actor, Sir Grover Drake-Billets. The audience may need to get in on the act in this participatory night to help the legendary Sherlock Holmes and trusted companions replay and resolve the loose ends of the mysterious death of Sir Charles Baskerville, rumored to be the victim of a supernatural and savage hound. Don’t miss this unforgettable theatrical experience—where mystery, suspense, and Aquila’s trademark excellence are sure to leave you on the edge of your seat.
