Silksoundbooks - Olivia Williams on the Sci-Fi channelPosted By Digby, on 28/08/2009 10:15:58 Here at Silksoundbooks, we've really enjoyed watching our star audiobook reader Olivia Williams in a great new drama - Dollhouse - on the UK Sci-Fi satellite channel. Created by Joss Whedon, who brought us the cult favourite Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dollhouse follows the lives of an elite, underground group of beautiful and seductive operatives known as the Dolls, or Actives. The Actives are assigned to different engagements by the Dollhouse handlers led by Olivia Williams. Hired by the wealthy, powerful and connected, the Actives don't just perform their hired roles, they wholly become -- with mind, personality and physiology -- whomever the client wants or needs them to be. Whether imprinted to be a lover, an assassin, a corporate negotiator or a best friend, the Actives know no other life than the specific engagements they are in at that time. When the mission is complete they return to the mysterious Dollhouse where their thoughts, feelings, experiences and knowledge are erased. By contrast, thoughts, feelings and experiences are magnified in Persuasion by Jane Austen. Olivia Williams reads this unabridged audiobook of one of the world’s favourite classic novels exclusively for Silksoundbooks, giving a particular sting all of her own to Austen’s great description of how to resist the persuasions of those around you who think they know what it is to be successful. Dollhouse is on the Sci-Fi channel on Saturday August 28th starting at 8pm |
