About this listen

One doctor. One assassin. One and the same.

From the creator of John Wick comes a thrilling modern-day reimagining of the classic story of Jekyll and Hyde from Audible Originals. Buckle up and prepare for a tale of split personas, secret organisations, and international assassinations in this action-packed drama featuring cutting-edge 3D sound design.

Dr. Jekyll (Vanessa Kirby) is an elite international specialist in energy systems, working closely with her handler Louis (David Oyelowo) in a career that takes her across the globe to politically volatile territories such as Iran and North Korea. But when an arms dealer accuses her of having killed his family, Dr. Jekyll begins to question details of her life, who Louis really is, and whether her strange recurring dream has a greater meaning. She enlists the help of psychologist Sigrun (Sofie Gråbøl), and together they delve into Dr. Jekyll’s darker other side, a brutal assassin named… Hyde.

Starring Vanessa Kirby, David Oyelowo, Sofie Gråbøl with an original score by Brittany Allen.

Editorial Review

Thrilling Dr. Jekyll reimagining
Get ready for an exhilarating experience with Audible's The Strange Case. As a lover of the classic, I was electrified to learn that the renowned creator of the John Wick franchise, Derek Kolstad, would reimagine this iconic story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde with a gender-bent twist. Vanessa Kirby, the brilliant star of The Crown, delivers a breathtaking performance in the titular role that will leave you gasping for air. This audio drama presents the duality of the character in a fascinating new light, keeping you on the edge of your seat. It's a must-listen, whether you're a classics buff or dramatic storytelling fanatic. —Kistal G., Audible Editor

Gripped- all the way through

I loved every minute of this reimagining of an old classic. Well-performed, well-written. Highly recommended.

Exciting & Unexpected!

I’m always interested in reading/hearing different takes on stories directly or loosely based on the storyline of Dr. Jekyll & (Mr./Ms.) Hyde… and i have to say, this version is by far my favourite!
• A great plot line from start to finish
• Twists and turns in the storyline… and just when you think you know what might happen next, you’re pleasantly surprised by just how wrong you are!
• The modernized story seems to take place in a current or slightly futuristic timeframe, and everything goes in this title (after all… intensely brutal physical & mental battles to save life as they know it or die trying + PC writing DO go hand-in-hand! Seriously though: the world would be a better place if more writers had an open, growth mindset like this one),
I have many more positive things to say, but why don’t you listen for yourselves and hear what i mean!

Highly recommend :)

fun!

Great listen. The performances and sound design are quite good. I love an engaging audio drama. The story is gripping but also very dumb.
