The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — The History and Horrors of Early Stage Adaptations

For our first Wednesday Noon Lecture of Fall 2026, join theater historian Kevin Peshick as we follow Robert Louis Stevenson’s short story from the stages of Victorian London to the opera houses of Michigan, watching the play transform, like the dual character of Jekyll and Hyde, to reflect the cultural values and anxieties of the times.

Admission free, donations appreciated.
