Matthew Waterhouse Joins Dark Shadows
(
22/02/2011)
Matthew Waterhouse, who played Adric in
Doctor Who, has recently recorded a guest appearance for the forthcoming
Dark Shadows drama,
The Creeping Fog.
Matthew plays John Cunningham, who bumps into Quentin Collins in a London pub, the White Rabbit, in 1941. Their seemingly random encounter proves fortunate when the cowardly John finds himself saving Quentin from a supernatural fog. The two strangers then have to spend the night in a museum, desperately trying to hide from the fog… and the whispers that dwell within it.
“Big Finish wanted a spooky story that would work for long-time fans of
Dark Shadows but also for those new to the series,” says writer Simon Guerrier. “I watched several episodes featuring Quentin, and I really liked this gruff character who would rather drink brandy than fight ghosts and demons. He's a powerful figure and good for drama because we never quite know how he'll react. John Cunningham is a total contrast to Quentin – timid, ordinary and eager to please. I'm delighted Joe Lidster and James Goss convinced Matthew Waterhouse to make his Big Finish debut.”
The Creeping Fog will be released in June 2011.
We’re also pleased to release trailers for the first two dramatic readings:
The Blind Painter and
The Death Mask.
