Today, all of us here at Silksoundbooks want to wish a very happy birthday to our star audio book reader
Toby Stephens.
Toby was born into an acting family in London on April 21st 1969, the son of
Dame Maggie Smith and
Robert Stephens. He trained at the London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art and his career has included film, television, stage and of course, audiobooks!
Last year Toby won huge critical aclaim for his performance as
Henry in a revival of Tom Stoppard's deeply moving and startlingly funny play
The Real Thing at the Old Vic in London.
In the UK, fans of Toby have been able to see him in the BBC productions of
Miss Marple and the police comedy-drama
Vexed.
The unabridged audio book
Heart of Darkness, read by
Toby Stephens, has been at the top of the Silksoundbooks bestsellers list since it was first released. Toby brings his inimitable brooding intensity to
Joseph Conrad’s terrifying and exhilarating exploration of evil that served as the inspiration for Francis Ford Coppola’s movie
Apocalypse Now.
Happy Birthday Toby.
