I’ll never forget hearing for the first time and thinking, it only had to be her who played it. I love her so much, and what she’s created with a bit of a bonkers character. How did you break the news to Jane Lynch?īreaking the news to Jane Lynch was a moment. It’s fun to see them be way smarter than we are a lot of times. It’s not the easiest thing to do with social media and people really watching for the details. It’s very Jacobian in a way to do that thing that then tells you, oh, it was always all about this. The perspective on Loretta’s opening monologue and her audition once you understand episode eight-what drove her to be at that audition and what the meaning of that monologue is. Truthfully, I like that people could go back and find the things that were there all along, or maybe that they hadn’t seen or felt before. Teeing up what’s going to happen at the very tail end of the season, with Sazz hearing that some people wanted Charles to be the one who got off as opposed to Ben-that’s in episode five, before we arrive at our final image of the season. So, that was a long-winded way to say-nepo babies are complicated. All of the pressure has been building up to the point where he’s now looking down from the perch that he used to watch all of the shows from, to envision the victim on stage in a bit of a psychological break. Stepping into the elevator before the door closes, you see this little whisper of a smile of power that he feels for the first time. There has to be the primal feeling nepo baby individuating, and the power in that. It’s always got to be that thing, right? What’s the core driving flaw? What is the human-based foible? Even though presenting ridiculously in many ways, this mother and son who kiss for a little too long and do perverse things at times, are driven in their own lane of ambition. The thing that sends Cliff into a blind rage is the idea that he’s not seen as his own person outside of being his mother’s son.ġ00 percent. My first thought was that you were commenting on the nepotism baby conversation. A caveat that’s presented in maybe one of the first lines of the whole season through Charles’s narration is, “If you are theatrically-minded, chances are you were spurred on at a very young age.” So that being said, the notion of how to approach the mystery and the storytelling this season all had a grander sense-so a grander finale made sense as well. ![]() The theater is the theater, and I know there are things that happen every day within the world of the theater that are far more ridiculous than what we put in this. Did you have fun playing with stakes that are kind of ridiculous, but maybe not? So all three of those weave by the end of a season.Ĭliff as the killer is also fascinating from a show business perspective, the idea that one bad review could fuel someone to kill. That’s all being threaded through with the Dickie and Loretta story, and the ridiculous Death Rattle Dazzle story. She was looking to pause for the play, and everything that followed from that she didn’t control, but then was taken up by her son. And then the writers took over and did amazing things.ĭonna and Cliff being introduced in a fairly ridiculous way felt fun for the Broadway nature of where we were going, and then to deepen that through the season and find touchstone points where you got a little more dimension. ![]() So my insecurities and the confidence around that felt on the emotional level, like, oh, that’s interesting terrain for me right now to sort of process. My mother passed away a year ago, so in the midst of writing this season, suddenly these tracks of motherhood and protection and mothers and sons became threads for the season.
