We wanted to give fans a platform to enjoy and honour Scott Handcock\u2019s brilliant scripts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was brilliant working with Scott, Alex and the whole team to create a beautiful film that will leave the audience wanting more and more of Dorian.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scott Handcock said: \u201cBefore Your Eyes provides a slick, sharp insight into the life of our Dorian Gray. If you\u2019ve never heard the audio series, it introduces all you need to know. If you\u2019re already a fan, you\u2019ll recognise aspects we\u2019ve already explored. But there\u2019s also a fresh new story too, as Dorian encounters the mysterious Jada (Georgia Amodu Curtis).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a beautiful short, packed so full of life and darkness \u2013 much like Dorian himself. David O\u2019Mahony and the team have done an amazing job bringing our Confessions to life and Alex continues to make Dorian Gray his own. I want to go back and rediscover all our old stories now. What better way to commemorate ten years?\u201d<\/p> <p>The 10-year celebration continues with an hour-long audio adventure, The Confessions of Dorian Gray: The Anniversary, also due for release from Big Finish on 27th October 2022.<\/p>\n<p>This special audio release is available to pre-order as a limited-edition vinyl LP (and download for \u00a317.99), which includes an exclusive art print signed by Alexander Vlahos.
