The Glass Scientists Podcast - Chapter One
avenir for Edward Hyde
MAIN ROLE:
Dr. Jekyll's alter ego, caused by a mysterious green potion. Almost everything Jekyll isn't: rude, assertive, mischievous, sinister and prominently in the darker side of ambition; though he still has a passion for "rogue science". He narrates the first couple of minutes of the Chapter, observing the rampant werewolf Jasper running amok the London streets. "The Spirit of London at Night" pretty much sums him up.
Voice Range: Has the same accent as Jekyll but often adopts a kind of East London accent in order to blend in with his surroundings - he wants to be perceived as a native of the London underworld, not some rich boy slumming his way through Whitechapel. He doesn’t have nearly as much practice with his new accent as Jekyll with his Received Pronunciation, and he slips up from time to time.
"I am The Spirit of London at Night. I flicker with the will-o-wisp gas lamps, I float like a specter through the autumn fog. I whisper with a voice full of secrets and sharp tiny things, glinting silver, spilling red, winding through the cobblestone alleys of Shoreditch and Whitechapel and Providence Row."
"Take this beauty of a brute, for example. A werewolf, and a young, little one at that! Tonight, he will join the dreadful beasts who make up London’s midnight menagerie... "
"Ooh, look, that one’s wielding knitting needles! Innovation at its finest!"
