Theatre Royal

In this episode from the series, Sir Laurence Olivier stars in a fully dramatised adaptation of the famous Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde classic by Robert Louis Stevenson.

First broadcast as an half-hour radio programme in the 1950's, this performance captures the marvellous theatrical style of post-war radio before the advent of television and offers the experience of vintage radio at its best.

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde:

An episode from the only radio series in which Sir Laurence Olivier ever appeared.

Dr Henry Jekyll is a distinguished physician, bound to Edward Hyde, a violent and ruthless criminal.
