And I love the exploration of female rage on both sides with Alice and with Catherine.
What was it about that concept that really both drew both of you to exploring that and
diving deep into that?
I think I use comedy sometimes to deflect from feeling feelings like anger.
And so it was interesting writing this show because I had to get a little bit more comfortable
on the page even, like not even in real life, but like writing angry scenes and things.
And that was interesting and uncomfortable for me in a good way.
It's hopefully digging into the experience of being a victim and just how complicated
and messy that can be and lead to a lot of different roads that someone can go down.
Yeah.
Rage is an interesting thing because it can be certainly dangerous in society and is
not helpful, certainly for Alice in her job.
She needs to be very removed from that heat, but she has a lot of drive.
But I think that she's really unaware of the level of her own rage and is really kind of
starting to embrace and understand how it's governing her and leading her in a way that
she's not aware of at first.
And I think that rage probably gets a bad rep, but there's a lot of energy behind it
and it can be a connector and it can galvanize a movement.
And I think that the connection between these women and the kind of like invisible thread
between them of sisterhood, how we realize that they're more similar than they are
different, is very kind of powerful.
