Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Old Story Re Told

English · Gothic Fiction, Horror, Drama

Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale follows Dr. Henry Jekyll, a respected London physician whose experiments lead him to confront a darker side of his own nature. As the unsettling Mr. Hyde emerges, the story explores the fragile boundary between respectability and violence, and the consequences of trying to separate the two.

This radio dramatization brings the Gothic story to life through spoken performance and sound, moving between Jekyll’s public world and the growing menace associated with Hyde. Its suspense comes from the gradual revelation of what connects the two men, rather than from a mystery detached from its characters.

The result is an atmospheric tale of psychological horror, moral conflict, and mounting dread. Listeners can expect a dramatic adaptation centered on Stevenson’s enduring portrait of a man divided against himself.
