October 3 - October 26, 2025
Just in time for spooky season, this spine-tingling love story, inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson’s Victorian Gothic classic, comes alive onstage. A father's love for his ailing daughter and her growing affection for his medical assistant create an ethical dilemma as they push medical boundaries. As the bodies stack up, the question is asked – how deep will you dig for the one you love?
The run time is 2 hours, including one intermission.
Get a behind-the-scenes look at the design process.
