Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Police Questioning
by
Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale follows Dr. Henry Jekyll, a respected London physician whose experiments reveal a darker side of his nature in the form of Mr. Edward Hyde. The story explores the unsettling divide between public respectability and private desire as Jekyll’s control over his transformation begins to fail.
In this radio dramatization, the familiar Gothic mystery unfolds through spoken performance and sound, bringing its London setting and mounting tension to life. The title “Police Questioning” suggests an investigative angle, while the central story turns on the consequences of Jekyll’s secret and the growing suspicion surrounding Hyde.
Stevenson’s tale combines suspense with psychological horror, making the contrast between the two identities its most compelling feature. Its atmosphere of secrecy and dread suits the intimate, imaginative style of radio drama.
