FIRST THE DOLL FACTORY
COSTUME TV DRAMA IMAGES
Paramount Plus UK has actually revealed these images earlier this week, but I missed them for some reason, so I am showing them to you today - first pictures from their period set mini series THE DOLL FACTORY which will stream on Paramount Plus sometime later this year. The six episode small screen adaptation of the best selling novel by Elizabeth Macneal will also air on Australian SBS and TV New Zealand.
STORY IS SET IN LONDON, 1851
Iris (Esme Creed Miles) paints dolls for a living,
alongside her twin sister, Rose (Mirren Mack), but dreams of becoming an
artist. By night, she secretly paints herself naked, honing her craft.
Silas (Eanna Hardwicke whom we watched earlier this summer in The Six Commandment series) is a taxidermist who owns a shop filled with his
creations. He hopes to one day find an item so unique he will be
catapulted to fame. Louis (George Webster) is a painter and member of
the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, searching for his next muse. In a city
humming with anticipation for the Great Exhibition, their three worlds
collide, and Iris is offered an opportunity to escape and start a new
life.
To do so, she must abandon her sister, sacrifice her reputation, and
launch herself into the unknown. As Iris’ world expands, she finds
herself challenging patriarchal beliefs, exploring her sexuality, and
starting to experience the things she has always dreamed of. But
alongside her newfound independence, a story of dark obsession begins to
unfold. Pippa Haywood, Sharlene Whyte, Reece Kenwyne-Mpudzi, Freddy
Carter, Saoirse-Monica Jackson, Laurie Kynaston, Jim Caesar, Akshay
Khanna, Aysha Kala and Nell Hudson also star.
I like stories where the odd characters seem to find each other. I hope it’s a good watch!
ReplyDeleteWe shall decide when we get the first trailer, soon hopefully.
