Synopsis

Told through the diary of a Victorian housemaid, this literary reimagining of Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde reveals the gothic horror from a servant's intimate perspective. Mary Reilly's growing devotion to her kind employer Dr. Jekyll becomes increasingly fraught as the sinister Mr. Hyde infiltrates the household and threatens everything she holds dear.
