Publisher's summary

On nineteenth-century Earth, artist Edvard Munch hears an infinite scream pass through nature. Centuries later, his painting of that Scream hangs in a gallery on the barren dust world Duchamp 331.

Why is there a colony of artists on a planet that is little more than a glorified garage? What is the event that the passengers of the huge, opulent pleasure cruiser 'Gallery' are hoping to see? And what is hidden in the crates that litter the cargo hold?

The Doctor's diary indicates that the painting is about to be destroyed in "mysterious circumstances", and when he and Ace arrive on Duchamp 331, those circumstances are well underway.

Cast

References

  • Mr. Seta is an anagram of "Master."
  • The Warp Core strips the Trakenite aspects of the Master's body, leaving only the decaying Time Lord, which is a contradiction of NA: First Frontier where the Tzun cure the Master of the Cheetah Virus AND the corrupted Trakenite DNA.

Notes

  • This story marks the first appearance of the Master in an audio play.
  • Some of the character names are derived from famous artists - Madam Salvadori (Salvador Dali), Klemp (Gustav Klimt) and Damien Pierson (Damien Hurst).
  • The planet Duchamp is named after French-born US artist Marcel Duchamp. In 1920, Man Ray photographed the dust accumulating on the surface of Duchamp's "Large Glass" construction; the resulting image was titled Dust Breeding.
  • Geoffrey Beevers appeared as Private Johnson in DW: The Ambassadors of Death and as the Master in DW: The Keeper of Traken. He is the real life husband of Caroline John.
