Announcing the Premiere Date and Cast of Audible Original “Impact Winter”

Holly has booked another voice work for this year! Audible will release Impact Winter which has a star-studded cast included: Himesh Patel (Don’t Look Up, Yesterday, Tenet), Holliday Grainger (The Borgias, My Cousin Rachel), David Gyasi (Interstellar, Panic), Esme Creed-Miles (Hanna), Liam Cunningham (Game of Thrones), Bella Ramsey (Game of Thrones), Caroline Ford (Carnival Row), Chloe Pirrie (The Queen’s Gambit, The Crown), Indira Varma (Carnival Row, Games of Thrones), Freddy Carter (Shadow and Bone, Pennyworth), and an ensemble cast.

More than a decade after a comet strike has inflicted an “impact winter” and blacked out the sun, vampires have emerged in the darkness to take over what remains of the world. Humans have fled underground, clinging to an existence that feels increasingly doomed. One vampire hunter, a young woman named Darcy, is lured from her bunker beneath an ancient castle by a powerful vampire overlord and thrust into a fight for her people’s future. From Travis Beacham, the mind behind Carnival Row and Pacific Rim, this action, romance, coming-of-age story delivers an unprecedented sonic experience via binaural action sequences, original music and incomparable sound design, all of which come together to bring to life this post-apocalyptic world in visceral detail.

Holliday Grainger voices Emily Tennyson for BBC Radio ‘Elegies’

Thank you to our friend at Simply Claes for the heads up that Holliday is voicing Emily Tennyson for BBC’s new radio show Elegies. The first episode will be up tomorrow, October 4th, at 15:00 on BBC Radio 4. The episode will last close to an hour (57 minutes) and is divided in two parts:

01.png

A two-part drama telling the stories behind two of the greatest and most influential poetic elegies ever published in English – Milton’s Lycidas and Tennyson’s In Memoriam.

Part 1. Milton’s Lycidas

Although written two centuries apart, in 1637 and 1833, the making and circumstances of these great elegies are full of interconnections and are centred on the poetic response to grief and loss. Milton’s Lycidas is the first great elegy in English poetry. Both Lycidas and In Memoriam were written in response to the sudden unexpected death of a young male friend, striking the poets in their mid-twenties. when the poets were students at Cambridge. The dead men were prodigiously gifted and also poets, early rivals and first readers to the poets who elegised them.

Milton and Tennyson were thereby thrown into personal grief and poetic challenge, but how to make a poetic elegy that honours and reflects that genuine grief whilst rising to the challenge of the first great poetic subject in these young poets’ lives? Milton and Tennyson responded to these complex and terrible circumstances with radically different elegies that stand among the finest poems in English literature.

Elegies was written and adapted from Lycidas by John Milton by Michael Symmons Roberts
