Chemical Imbalance: A Jekyll and Hyde Play by Lauren Wilson is a fast-paced, wickedly funny reimagining of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale. In this contemporary adaptation, Dr. Henry Jekyll is a brilliant but socially awkward psychiatrist who experiments with a revolutionary drug designed to “cure” the darker impulses of his most troubled patient—himself. When the volatile and uninhibited Edward Hyde emerges, chaos erupts in a blur of mistaken identities,
outrageous encounters, and razor-sharp comedy. Blending gothic suspense with laugh-out-loud farce, Chemical Imbalance explores the duality within us all—proving that sometimes the scariest monster is the one we’ve tried hardest to suppress.
