Great actors. Great writer. Great radio dramas.
Sir Laurence Olivier, one of the English stage’s greatest voices, and the legendary Robert Donat, lead an extraordinary company in sterling performances in works adapted from Robert Louis Stevenson. These fully restored and remastered Theatre Royal 1950s radio dramas showcase Lord Olivier’s range and brilliance in Stevenson’s tales of good and evil – "Markheim", and "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" - while Donat shines in "Sire de Maltroit’s Door", with its choice between marriage and death.
