Theatre Royal presents radio dramatizations of classic stories and plays. This recording features an adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the tale of a respected doctor whose experiments reveal a darker side of human nature.

In the story, Dr. Jekyll's pursuit of a way to separate good from evil leads to the emergence of Mr. Hyde, a figure associated with violence and fear. The drama unfolds through the contrast between Jekyll's public respectability and the unsettling consequences of his private experiments.

As a radio play, the story relies on spoken performance and sound to bring its suspense and transformations to life. Its gothic atmosphere and moral unease make this a compelling listen for fans of classic literature and dramatic horror.
