Claire Foy (The Crown) si Paul Bettany (WandaVision) vor fi protagonistii sezonului 2 al serialului BBC/ Amazon Studios A Very English Scandal, care reexamineaza scandalurile (adevarate) de tabloid din trecut.
Cei doi actori ii vor interpreta pe Ducele si Ducesa de Argyll, un cuplu din inalta societate al carui divort extrem de public a facut senzatie in presa de tabloid din Marea Britanie, in anii ’60. Celebra pentru frumusetea, stilul si crisma ei, Margaret, Ducesa de Argyll, a fost defaimata, acuzata de furt, fals, violenta si consum de droguri, toata media concentrandu-se pe o poza Polaroid explicita.
Sarah Phelps (Dublin Murders) vaa scrie scenariul celor trei parti ale sezonului 2, pe care Anne Sewitsky (Happy Happy) le va regiza. Filmarile vor incepe anul acesta, in Marea Britanie.
„Writing the story of Margaret’s life and the events leading up to and including her divorce from the Duke has been a passion project of mine since 1993 when I first heard her name and started learning about her. I felt very strongly that she’d been punished for being a woman, for being visible, for refusing to back down, be a good girl and go quietly. This drama is my tribute to her,” a declarat Phelps.
“I’m so excited to work with Anne, Sarah and Paul on this extraordinary project, and to explore through this story, how often shame, judgment and controversy surrounds a woman’s sexuality,” a adaugat Foy.
