Blake's 7 ZEN: Escape Velocity
Zoë has voiced the character of The Pilot for the Blake's 7 Audio Adventure ZEN: Escape Velocity. The audio adventure is part of the BLAKE’S 7: THE EARLY YEARS series, published by the UK-based independent production company, B7 Productions and stars Zoë, Jason Merrells, Tracy-Ann Oberman and Alistair Lock as Zen.
THE EARLY YEARS is a prequel series of stories that explores the origins of key Blake's 7 characters prior to them meeting rebel leader, Roj Blake. This latest entry to the ever-expanding series takes a new twist, concentrating on a character that doesn’t breathe or have any parents, the synthetic intelligence ZEN.
The story is told from the point of view of one of the original Liberator crew, the human Pilot, played by Zoë. How a human without a past came to be on board this alien vessel will be just the beginning of this spine-tingling tale. For Zoë, playing a character with no past was an exciting challenge:
“With no past to draw from, the emphasis was on Pilot’s instincts. It was important for me to strike the right balance between portraying an innocent who is seemingly starting life afresh and in Pilot’s case, an old soul, whose innate wisdom and fighting spirit, tells her that all is not what it seems.”
