Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Hettie Rescued Again

von

Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale follows Dr. Henry Jekyll, a respected London physician whose experiments reveal a darker side of his nature: the violent and increasingly independent Mr. Hyde. The story explores the struggle between public respectability and hidden impulses as Jekyll’s double life grows harder to control.

Presented as a radio drama, the story uses dialogue, performance, and sound to bring its Victorian setting and mounting unease to life. Its central tension comes from the contrast between Jekyll’s measured manner and Hyde’s menace, drawing listeners into a mystery about identity, responsibility, and the consequences of trying to separate good from evil.
