Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde Comparison

In the past few weeks I have experienced the classic of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in two ways. I went and saw the live play by the Lubbock Community Theatre. I also read the book by Robert Louis Stevenson. The book and play were similar in many ways, but they were also very different in the story line and the use of characters.
