The second Atlantis episode in the first season of the new Big Finish Stargate series of audio dramas is currently available for download at the production’s website. The CD for the drama, written by Sally Malcolm and directed by Sharon Gosling.
“Perchance to Dream” is narrated by Paul McGillion and is set during Season Two. The audio play, which also features a musical score, runs for approximately 70 minutes.
The story synopsis: “Doctor Carson Beckett finds himself in an uncomfortable situation when he becomes a patient in his own infirmary. After a disastrous mission, Beckett is brought back to Atlantis with a broken leg – and a bad case of amnesia.
“But that’s the least of his troubles. Cared for by Doctor Gilbert, Beckett watches as a strange affliction overcomes his friends and colleagues. One by one, members of the Atlantis crew are brought in, unconscious and unresponsive yet with no sign of trauma. What’s causing this peculiar illness? And why doesn’t anyone want to hear what Carson has to say about it?”
Fans will be able to download each audio adventure in the six-episode season, along with the CD artwork, for $8.99 (US). The CD is priced at $19.74 + $2.98 shipping (USD) at the website (previous CDs have included exclusive interviews with the starring Stargate actor).
