Custom image from Jefferson Chacon of Tony Curran as King James in a crown and pearl earring for Mary & George
The Big Picture The Starz series Mary & George, inspired by the true story of Mary Villiers and her son George , tells a tale of scheming and seduction in the court of England. Unable to reach the levels of power and wealth that she desires, Mary wants the naïve George to step up and pursue King James I to achieve the prestige that has eluded their family.
TONY CURRAN: What comes to mind, being a Scotsman, is that I was very compelled and interested to dive into the world of King James and his court. There are not that many moments, but there are moments where Nick , who plays George, says, “These people are being kind.” And I have this outburst and say, “These people gave my mother to the English to be beheaded.
In this period, it was a human self-expression, which it obviously is today. At that time, certainly for George Villiers, his exploits with King James ultimately could become quite destructive. His vulnerability came a lot from his trauma in his childhood and his paranoia, as well. He wrote a book, called Demonology, which was to do with witchcraft and the ideas of this otherworldly force that tapped into his paranoia. He actually burnt these three women at the stake, or they were possibly hung.
