Скачать или смотреть The Shadow in the Street | The Strange Case of Jekyll and Hyde | Robert Louis Stevenson | BBC Drama

Step into a narrow London street at twilight, where gas lamps flicker and footsteps echo with unnatural urgency, in The Shadow in the Street, a chilling BBC Radio drama adapted from Robert Louis Stevenson’s gothic classic. 🕯️

🔍 The Story

A sudden act of violence shatters the evening calm. A figure moves with disturbing confidence, striking without hesitation, then vanishing into the fog. Witnesses struggle to describe what they saw — not because the crime was unclear, but because its perpetrator defies ordinary understanding.

As accounts are gathered and suspicions deepen, a sense of moral dislocation takes hold. The crime feels intimate, deliberate, and profoundly wrong. It is not merely a breach of law, but a fracture in the idea of human restraint itself.

This episode marks the first undeniable emergence of Hyde into the public world — where private corruption becomes visible, and denial is no longer possible. The shadow on the street is more than a man; it is the outward sign of a divided soul.

A darkly atmospheric chapter in which the city itself becomes complicit in concealment and fear.
