Rappaccini's Daughter
por
Rappaccini's Daughter is a radio presentation of Nathaniel Hawthorne's tale of love, secrecy, and dangerous scientific ambition. In a secluded garden, the brilliant Dr. Rappaccini cultivates poisonous plants and raises his daughter, Beatrice, amid their deadly influence. When Giovanni becomes fascinated by Beatrice, attraction and suspicion draw him into her father's unsettling world.
The story unfolds as a dramatic adaptation, using voices and sound to bring Hawthorne's richly atmospheric setting to life. Its central tension lies in the uncertain boundary between affection and harm: Beatrice may be both a victim of her father's experiments and a source of danger herself.
Gothic and morally complex, the tale offers a haunting listening experience shaped by mystery, romance, and the consequences of trying to control nature. The title identifies this as a Request Performance broadcast.
