Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
At the Dance
by
Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale follows Dr. Henry Jekyll, a respected London physician whose experiments reveal a darker side of human nature. His transformation into the increasingly dangerous Mr. Hyde turns a private scientific pursuit into a chilling struggle over identity, morality, and control.
In this radio dramatization, the story unfolds through acted scenes and spoken dialogue, bringing its Victorian setting and mounting suspense to life through performance and sound. The episode is titled “At the Dance,” placing this installment within the world of Jekyll and Hyde.
The listening experience blends gothic atmosphere with psychological tension. Stevenson’s contrast between Jekyll’s public respectability and Hyde’s menace gives the drama its enduring unease, as the boundary between the two selves grows harder to hold.
