Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Curious Friends
Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale follows Dr. Henry Jekyll, a respected London physician whose experiments reveal a disturbing division within his own nature. As the sinister Mr. Hyde emerges, Jekyll’s attempt to control the transformation becomes a struggle over identity, conscience, and the consequences of unchecked desire.
In this radio dramatization, the story’s Victorian setting and mounting mystery unfold through spoken performance and sound, bringing its shadowy streets and unsettling changes of character to life. The title “Curious Friends” suggests a focus on the people drawn into the mystery, while the central tension remains Jekyll’s dangerous connection to Hyde.
The experience blends gothic suspense with psychological drama. Stevenson’s enduring story invites listeners to consider how much of a person’s darker self can be hidden—and what happens when it is given room to act.
