Like almost everyone else, the good people at Big Finish Productions have shut down the studio, halted new productions, and are working from home. But that doesn’t mean they can’t still be productive. The Confessions of Dorian Gray: Isolation is Big Finish’s first audio drama written, recorded, and released while the UK is in lockdown during the Coronavirus crisis. Oh, and they’re also making it available for free. Inspired by Oscar Wilde’s classic story of hedonism and corruption, The Confessions of Dorian Gray series imagines a world in which Dorian Gray was real and his friendship with Oscar Wilde spawned the notorious novel. To date, there have been 41 stories in the series. Conceived and written by director Scott Handcock, and performed by actor Alexander Vlahos, this brand new 18-minute story was produced entirely using remote recording techniques. From initiation to release, the project took just four days to complete. According to Handcock, “I wrote a script, Alex recorded at home, I did some digital painting for the cover artwork, and Rob Harvey joined in to give it an FX pass and some glorious music. It’s been lovely to reconnect with such generous people, giving up their time; and although Dorian isn’t returning for good, we hope this will prove a welcome reunion for listeners!” Vlahos added, “Obviously, the world is going through a massive pandemic and is quite scary and there’s a lot of uncertainly, and a lot of creative people are coming together to cheer people up. And within the space of four days, we’ve created an 18-minute Dorian Gray episode for people – which is brilliant!” The Confessions of Dorian Gray: Isolation is available now to download from the Big Finish website, completely free! And listeners who are new to the world of Dorian Gray can also download several other free stories at the Big Finish website, as well as the five fantastic full-cast series of The Confessions of Dorian Gray.
