Jeckyll obsessed with separating the two personalities of the same person, the good part and the bad part. This creates a potion, and the drinks are, in this way becomes Hyde, a little man so evil that comes to commit murder.

A Jekyll it is becoming more difficult to control and Hyde personality at first only appeared when he took the potion, but later becomes uncontrollable. Then decides to commit suicide and also end the life of Hyde. ·Personal Opinion: The book I found interesting, described as a person can be so good and so bad at the same time. Which these two very different personalities are caused by a potion seems too fantastic, but if it is true that everyone has a good side and one darker.

The theater play me like, dances and songs were great, but the decor seemed to me low.
