'The Death and Life of River Song': 'The Dissolution of Time' (4 Parts) by Rochana Patel

River Song has been imprisoned in the Stormcage, facing multiple life sentences for the Doctor's assassination... or, at least, she was. Now, time is collapsing, and River is unexpectedly marooned in Tudor England, 1536 - with a mysterious alien companion, Dust.

Someone, or something, has broken history: the distortions centring on the court of King Henry VIII. River must find the culprit, and fix the damage, before it's too late. But some players, for whom established history does not end happily, may have other ideas...

Part 1: 'The Armageddon Game'
Part 2: 'Anne Boleyn Must Die'
Part 3: 'A Good Woman Goes to War'
Part 4: '3.4 The Schism Bloom'


Alex Kingston (River Song), Joseph Capp (Dust), Charithra Chandran (Anne Boleyn), James Joyce (Duke of Richmond), Harry Myers (Henry VIII), Andrew Wincott (Thomas Cromwell), Emily Woodward (Mary Tudor)

Notes:

*Featuring Professor River Song

*A Big Finish 'The Diary of River Song' adventure

*Time-placing: River is still 'held' in the Stormcage facility, so I'm placing this just after 'River of Time'
