Title: Genet Moment for Grayson
Post by: Gothick on January 23, 2009, 12:22:43 AM

Extra kudos to MB for today's new capture.  Not only is this a superb shot of the Goddess Known as Grayson Hall in character as Julia, and not only is Julia sporting one of my favorite brooches, but I think this shot actually captures some of the more subtle elements at work in the Leviathans storyline before they went for "everything including the kitchen sink."  (More shots of Bruno flogging that wolfie!  More scenes of Megan swooning before Barnabas' gaping fangs!)

The dialogue and the imagery actually make me think of the mood of certain of the plays of Jean Genet, of which Grayson Hall was a famous exponent.  I've noticed other moments on DS reminiscent of Bertolt Brecht and the very expressionist styles of theatre pioneered in the Circle in the Square and other houses where Grayson worked as a young actress in the 1950s.

Fabulous, beautiful work!

I had a feeling that the Graysonphiles might like that capture ([b003]):

1970: Ep #934 - Julia: 'I wonder if he believes
in monsters?'

And, actually, Julia will be popping up with two more Leviathans captures/quotes before this month ends - one as early as later today...
