Dark Shadows: New Audio Dramas from Big Finish

[quentincollins]

According to Shadowgram Marie Wallace and Nancy Barrett have done/ are doing a DS audio. I wonder if it's Curse of the Pharoah? I wou;d've though that "Pharoah" would be a Laura story, but I'm excited for Marie and Nancy to be doing a story. I wonder which characters they'll play?

quentincollins, by now you may have seen Stuart's news page that recently announced that the ladies are starring in "Curse of the Pharaoh."

  FYI, if you've ordered the 'Echoes of Insanity' CD, it should now be available for download.

  Now while I'm in my fangirl glory, I'm gonna try to listen to this before I go to sleep.

I have been meaning to get these and now that Nancy is doing one, I am so there! I want all of them of course!

Is Kingdom of the Dead a revised title for The Banished Creatures, or will The Banished Creatures be another of the audio dramas?

Kingdom of the Dead is the overall title for the new full-cast series; The Banished Creatures was a working title.

Thanks for posting that, Stuart. Here's an image of the cover. Very nicely done.

That snake design on the cover makes me think about the Leviathons. Could they be returning for this story? Hmmmm....

[Mark Rainey]

I wouldn't know a thing about the story. Really. 

[RachelDrummand]

I love listening to these stories and can't wait for Season 2 when the full cast comes into it. I attended the 09 fest and that teaser truly was a teaser!

[quentincollins]

I'm still waiting for Big Finish to put up the new subscription offer for the next set of dramatic readings.  Makes me nervous ot to be pre ordered yet!

[Nancy]

Beautiful cover!

[DSReborn]

Big Finish are now accepting online subscriptions for the next series of Dark Shadows dramatic readings, which begins this month with Curse of the Pharaoh, starring Nancy Barrett and Marie Wallace.

Curse of the Pharaoh is the first in a new series of six Dark Shadows dramatic readings, with the remaining five titles following monthly from January-May 2010. January's release is written by D Lynn Smith and will star Lara Parker and Kathryn Leigh Scott as Angelique and Josette duPres. "After recording Echoes of Insanity earlier this year, Lara Parker suggested we do an Angelique and Josette story with a twist," says series producer Stuart Manning. "It's a great new exploration of the two characters and should be going into studio shortly."

The second series of dramatic readings is available to pre-order from the www.darkshadowsreborn.com.
