SYNOPSIS

After a tenacious journalist threatens to expose her vibrant but violent past, Jane Patterson attends her twenty-year college reunion in hopes of confronting him face-to-face. But the night does not go as she expects. Jane drowns herself in drugs, old friends, and memories of her delicious witchy youth instead. And Jane starts to wonder what she should do. Should she keep her secret life buried inside? Or is it finally time for her truth to come out to the light? And the truth is: she is BERNICE HYDE…

HYDE (Or Girls Can Kill Goats) is a bold contemporary reimagining of Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. A delightfully dangerous mix of Yellowjackets and John Proctor is a Villain, HYDE transforms the classic tale of good vs evil into a fierce feminist frenzy, featuring heightened language, vivid theatricality, and a vengeful goat goddess named Bernice Hyde.
