news about the revival and other things! | jekyll & hyde: the musical.

[duplexity]

My dear Writer,

While I am grateful for your enthusiasm (and surely I am; you know as well as any that it is not often that I come across such support), I fail to see what use - if any - that it may have. A theatre for a new production will only cast the sordid tale upon the eyes of thousands of others, and a film thousands more. Both are unnecessary. Furthermore, they both defeat the purpose of my intent. You are aware that I burned my findings for a reason.

It is true that I seem to have conquered my findings, delicately phrasing, but I fear that such things - while worth celebration to you - will counteract my good nature and cause a resurgence of things better left buried. I understand that it is not in your nature, but I must beg you: if you choose one request of mine to fulfill, let it be this one.

I remain yours truly,
Doctor Henry Jekyll

...Because these people are sadistic?

[duplexity]

Zeal, Sir, however unwise, is a far cry from sadism or anything like it.

[placeintheworld]

...I beg to differ. [Have you see what zeal gets you? The review's coming up and people are already planning for it okay.]

[duplexity]

Oh? Naturally, there are lines in every case, but what led you to such a conclusion?

[placeintheworld]

Casual observations. [He smirks at that] I've only been here for a little while and I already think my writer is nuts.

[duplexity]

[he admits, though not directed at him, it still stings. being called a madman while having the best intentions? been there.] Your writer has done something to warrant the - criticism?

[placeintheworld]

[Lindsey is not the most forgiving, given what his writer has planned.

Still, he's too much of an attorney to reveal things like that.] Have you seen this place? She will eventually down the line.

[duplexity]

I have indeed, though - thankfully - it has been quite some time.

You act as though she is inherently bad. I hope you'll forgive me for saying so, Sir, but I do hope your findings are based on fact and not premature jeers.

[placeintheworld]

All people are inherently bad. [There is an evil in all men, encouraged in all men.] I should know. I'm a defense attorney.

[duplexity]

At times. [and then he pauses.]

Defense? In which you hope to free said evil men to continue their horrible deeds for another day?
