Claire Foy and Paul Bettany had never met before arriving on the set of “A Very British Scandal.” But both were drawn to the three-episode limited series, which stars Foy as Margaret Campbell, Duchess of Argyll, and Bettany as Ian Campbell, 11th Duke of Argyll, because they hoped to work with the other.
“She wanted to bring a lot more darkness to it,” Bettany says of Sewitsky. “She kept talking about treading it down. If you look at the style of the filmmaking, you don’t often see British costume dramas shot in a muscular, hand-held way. They usually are much more stately. She had an agenda to make everything feel more real and immediate.”
Both actors did the requisite research ahead of filming, including looking at old footage and reading about the court proceedings, during which Margaret was publicly vilified for her adultery. But, ultimately, they were trying to create a psychological understanding of Ian and his infamous third wife, whose relationship is portrayed over several years. Foy calls them “extreme characters,” and it was essential to the actors to know why each did the terrible things they did.
“It was about the idea that someone’s sexuality can just be defined by themselves,” she notes. “And it doesn’t have to be clichéd or some crazy proclivity to some strange fetish or something to make them interesting. There were three different women in the room — me and the director and the writer — and we had completely different opinions about what our sexuality was and how we wanted it to be portrayed. It was really, really interesting.
