Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a four-act play written by Thomas Russell Sullivan in collaboration with the actor Richard Mansfield. It is an adaptation of Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, an 1886 novella by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson. The story focuses on the respected London doctor Henry Jekyll and his involvement with Edward Hyde, a loathsome criminal. After Hyde murders the father of Jekyll's fiancée, Jekyll's friends discover that he and Jekyll are the same person; Jekyll has developed a potion that allows him to transform himself into Hyde and back again. When he runs out of the potion, he is trapped as Hyde and commits suicide before he can be arrested. rdf:langString
《化身博士》(英語:Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde)是托马斯·罗素·沙利文与演员理查德·曼斯菲尔德联合创作的1887年四幕舞台剧,根据苏格兰作家羅伯特·路易斯·史蒂文森1886年的同名中篇小说改编。剧作讲述伦敦声望卓著的亨利·杰基尔博士与凶残罪犯爱德华·海德纠缠不清,海德杀害杰基尔的准岳父,医生和友人发现此人就是杰基尔。原来他服下自行研发的神秘药水后会变身海德,再次服用就能变回。药水用完后他依然化身海德无法变回,最后在被捕前自尽。 曼斯菲尔德看过史蒂文森的原著,对分饰两角的机遇很感兴趣。他取得把小说成舞台剧并在英美两国上演的版权,剧本请沙利文执笔。剧作1887年5月在波士顿首演,经过修改同年九月起在百老汇演出。评论家称赞曼斯菲尔德分饰两角表现不俗,剧作在纽约及巡回演出期间都很叫座,伦敦向曼斯菲尔德发来邀请。1888年8月,剧作于首起開膛手傑克谋杀案发生前不久在伦敦开演,新闻报道将案情与剧中情节对比,暗示男主角有作案嫌疑。伦敦版引起媒体大量关注,但票房不佳导致亏损。曼斯菲尔德操持公司继续在美国巡演,直到1907年去世前不久。 rdf:langString

rdf:langString Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a four-act play written by Thomas Russell Sullivan in collaboration with the actor Richard Mansfield. It is an adaptation of Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, an 1886 novella by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson. The story focuses on the respected London doctor Henry Jekyll and his involvement with Edward Hyde, a loathsome criminal. After Hyde murders the father of Jekyll's fiancée, Jekyll's friends discover that he and Jekyll are the same person; Jekyll has developed a potion that allows him to transform himself into Hyde and back again. When he runs out of the potion, he is trapped as Hyde and commits suicide before he can be arrested. After reading the novella, Mansfield was intrigued by the opportunity to play a dual role. He secured the right to adapt the story for the stage in the United States and the United Kingdom, and asked Sullivan to write the adaptation. The play debuted in Boston in May 1887, and a revised version opened on Broadway in September of that year. Critics acclaimed Mansfield's performance as the dual character. The play was popular in New York and on tour, and Mansfield was invited to bring it to London. It opened there in August 1888, just before the first Jack the Ripper murders. Some press reports compared the murderer to the Jekyll-Hyde character, and Mansfield was suggested as a possible suspect. Despite significant press coverage, the London production was a financial failure. Mansfield's company continued to perform the play on tours of the U.S. until shortly before his death in 1907. In writing the stage adaptation, Sullivan made several changes to the story; these included creating a fiancée for Jekyll and a stronger moral contrast between Jekyll and Hyde. The changes have been adopted by many subsequent adaptations, including several film versions of the story which were derived from the play. The films included a 1912 adaptation directed by Lucius Henderson, a 1920 adaptation directed by John S. Robertson, and a 1931 adaptation directed by Rouben Mamoulian, which earned Fredric March an Academy Award for Best Actor. A 1941 adaptation, directed by Victor Fleming, was a remake of the 1931 film.
