Gokujyo Bungaku "Jekyll and Hyde"

[Machine Translation] This is the 16th in the Gokujo Bungaku series, a "reading x theater" stage that not only reads but also expresses itself visually. The actors move and act on stage, while the art, costumes, and makeup take an artistic approach! The production does not use video images, but focuses on analog expression. Sometimes beautiful, sometimes crazy, sometimes aesthetic. This work is the first attempt at foreign literature in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of Kyokusho Bungaku! --The story is about Dr. Jekyll, an eminent doctor and a good gentleman, whose house has been visited by a rowdy young man, Mr. Hyde. No one knew who he was or where he came from. One day, a senator is slaughtered on the banks of a river. The murder weapon left at the scene belongs to Dr. Jekyll! However, the killer who was seen at the scene was Hyde! What is the relationship between the two? Who is Hyde? When the mystery of the case is solved, the shocking truth about the two men will be revealed...!
