Bloomsbury announces all-female cast and production team for the audio version of Gillian Anderson’s Want

Gillian Anderson and an actors of nine females will tell the audio variation of Want, in which the star gathers and presents confidential letters revealing the sexual dreams of ladies from around the globe.

The manufacturing has been overseen by a women-only team– from project administration, casting, manuscript job, sound design, producing, editing and enhancing and proofing. The Bloomsbury Audio team working with this project, headed by Emma Stephenson, claimed that the intent was to “make certain the stars checking out the letters felt like they remained in a safe atmosphere”.

Need will be published by Bloomsbury in hardback, audio and e-book on 5th September 2024. The book is motivated by My Secret Yard (Trident Press/ Gallery Books), assembled by Nancy Friday. As component of this publishing process, Anderson vowed a sum of ₤ 500 for each letter that is published in guide, to be divided equally between Females for Women International and War Child. Bloomsbury added the amount of ₤ 50,000 to Women for Women International.

“Want offers a distinctively liberating affection in the audio format where audiences can tune in to their very own sexualities in the privacy of auditory pleasure,” Halstead claimed. “It is a real event of female sexuality in all its different kinds! Our cast includes a gifted group of ladies from a variety of backgrounds tape-recorded around the world, not to mention the superb voice of Gillian Anderson.”

Sam Halstead, head of sound at the author, said: “We knew that producing a secure atmosphere for this recording was essential in obtaining one of the most genuine analyses of the letters, so the entire manufacturing process has actually been an exclusively female effort. I feel extremely fortunate to have actually worked on such a ground-breaking audiobook.”
