Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Henry's Father Dies
by
Robert Louis Stevenson’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a Gothic tale of a respected London doctor whose experiments expose a darker side of human nature. The story follows the unsettling connection between Dr. Henry Jekyll and the increasingly dangerous Mr. Hyde.
In this radio dramatization, the mystery unfolds through dialogue, performance, and sound, bringing the story’s shadowy streets and mounting unease to life. The subtitle, “Henry’s Father Dies,” points to the episode’s focus, while the familiar conflict between Jekyll’s public respectability and Hyde’s menace gives the drama its central tension.
Expect a serious, suspenseful listening experience shaped by themes of identity, secrecy, and the consequences of trying to divide good from evil. Stevenson’s classic premise makes this a compelling choice for listeners drawn to atmospheric literary drama and psychological horror.
