Thanks for posting this here, Julia. Grayson looks DIVINE, a glam avatar of the Crone Goddess. From what I can recall of my reading of the play, Grayson's role was that of Warda, Queen of the Whores. It's a very long play and for about 2 hours she wasn't even on stage. In the earlier part of the play, the village women impale her with their knitting needles. This picture is Warda returning as a ghost to harangue the audience in a dramatic sequence ... very Dark Shadows if DS had ever been R rated!
GH's costume is by Willa Kim, who I believe is a Tony winnner, and the play was translated and directed by Minos Volonakis, who instantly became Grayson's favorite director after this experience of working with him. She and Matt later visited him in Greece.
To say The Screens is a difficult play is putting it mildly. I was discussing a recent Canadian production of it with a couple of friends who attended, and they mentioned that people started leaving the theatre about half an hour into the play. I said "Oh, because it was so shocking?" and Claude said, "No because it was BORING." Apparently the topical political references to the Algerian crisis and French colonialism haven't aged well...
