Penny Dreadful star Natalie Dormer on how Magda feeds 'the darker side of men's souls'
ahead of its debut this Sunday on Showtime, Dormer spoke with EW about taking on four different roles and how the themes, especially during the time of the coronavirus pandemic, are as relevant now as they were in the '30s.NATALIE DORMER:
Closing the borders and pointing the finger at other countries. I know. There’s a phrase enjoyed being said on the radio back here at home at the moment: "Not since the second World War," when talking about emergencies or the state of community, just everything being thrown out the window and values having to be reassessed. In that regard, with the time setting of the show, it is kind of pertinent.
Costumes help because the way they all move. If you’re standing in a gorgeous Zoot suit, like Rio, you stand in a very particular way in contrast to Alex, who’s standing in an awful tweed, masculine, uncomfortable piece. Your physicality changes immediately, and [the characters] all move differently. You find a voice and a different placement in your mouth, whether it’s an accent or tone. Alex talks down here in her throat and [is] guttural. Rio is in her chest, and Elsa is up here in her nose.
