How Anatomy of a Scandal Reckons With Consent in a Post-Me Too Era
But Michelle, who plays barrister Kate Woodcroft, said she "loves those moments" of uncertainty because it highlights the role of a barrister—or in American terms, a prosecutor. "I think the show explores that a lot, how memory is so conflicting from one person's perspective to another," she said, adding that it's the barrister's role is to remind jurors of the more important matters at hand, like whether Olivia was consenting to sex with James.
And Rupert is in agreement with his female co-stars, though he played up the "ambiguity" of his character's guilt to "further stoke the kind of Sienna was hoping people would have, where you may be rooting for the guy at some points and at other points determinedly sure he's guilty."Less ambiguous to the actor was James' cruelty in ending their brief fling. "I remember finding it very cold actually, when he breaks up with her, because she's so wide eyed and innocent about the whole thing," he explained. "And he seems to think it's forgone; that it's going to be over.
Rupert suggested that James is "so entitled," he probably chalked it up to a miscommunication: "That's another thing about a relationship that is 'casual.' Normally, one person is way more into it than the other person and that's often where the problems arise because there isn't transparency about that."
But the cast isn't trying to convince you of anyone's guilt. As Sienna said, "the show is made in a really clever way and it doesn't spoon feed any answers... I hope therefore there's lots of debate and interesting conversations."For free, confidential help, call the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-4673 or visit rainn.org.
