HAPPY 36th BIRTHDAY HOLLIDAY GRAINGER ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚
"Sometimes people have a lack of imagination, for years I wasn’t bored of being in period dramas, I was just bored of being asked, ‘Am I bored of being in period dramas? And it does make you think, ‘Oh, should I switch this up now? Should I do something different?’ But actually, it sounds so cliché, but it’s all about the story and the characters. I think that historically they’ve been a stepping stone for white, middle-class English actresses, that these are your opportunities, and these are the roles… I do feel like it used to be a rite of passage. Like, ‘Now you can play the lead in a period drama, well done!’ [But] quite often they have been the good roles. I remember thinking that of all the scripts that I used to read, the best and most complex characters were often in period dramas, and that there weren’t very many opportunities outside of that to really explore complex issues. But I think that that’s changing now."
