The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde

A Live Radio Play

An exciting and brilliant hour long, two person live radio play performance of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic Gothic chiller ‘The Strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde’. 

​Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel is a classic tale of the duality of human nature, how we can have both good and evil inside of us. And how important it is for us to acknowledge this - for if we don’t we can end up being taken over by or giving into our worst desires. 

​At the time it was written, it was also very much commentary on the duality of Victorian society - the difference which existed between the outward, expected rules of propriety and respectability and the inner & private world of an individual’s life and desires. In many ways this is still relevant to the world we live in today, especially where social media allows us to create and project an idealised, outward version of ourselves, which may be very different to the inner, lived experience of an individuals’ life. 

The performance is set in the Victorian era, but has a modern sensibility in that the characters are all very recognisably characters we might meet today, their wishes and desires very much the wishes and desires we still have today.
