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.

Created by Derek Kolstad.

Written by Derek Kolstad, Mitali Jahagirdar, Laurie Kirwan-Ashman, Nick Luddington and Fallon O'Dowd.

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

I didn’t expect too much from this but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would recommend listening on headphones.

Great story and acting.

Such a gripping story to listen too, and despite it being another story based on DR Jekyll/Hyde, it is a refreshing take on the story.
There are a lot of "action" scenes, but the way it has been produced really does make it quite easy to follow, and easy to get involved into.

A surprisingly good read/listen

Vanessa Kirby, as well as the rest of the cast, is brilliant. Even though there's nothing to see I had no problem differenting between her characters. The script flowed well and had a stellar cast. It's a great reimagining of the classic tale. A must listen for all.

Chilling
