. It’s a remarkably short trip — about 48-hours, not including flying time, as she takes a quick break from filming “Wicked” in London.
“I don’t know,” Erivo says as she pauses to mull it over. “I hope it’s because he saw something that felt a little like Jacqueline in there. I think maybe he saw this kid who was from London, who had landed in America and was a bit like a fish out of water, whose parents are also Africa. There are loads of connections between Jacqueline and I; there’s this wonderful fire in Jacqueline that I think is in me.
“You end up trying to give 200% of yourself: 100% goes on into the character and story and 100% goes into how this thing gets made. What do we need? Who do I need to reach out to? How do we get funding? You have to compartmentalize what is needed in in each situation,” Erivo explains. “ I’ve learned I’m good at being patient, but I definitely had to grow my patience on this one.”
“Anthony has a deep want to keep learning and leaning into the human experience,” Erivo says of Chen. “He has a sort of sensitivity to finding beauty in the most obscure places. In someone else’s hands, this piece could feel really bleak; somehow, he manages to find the levity and the light. I thought that was really important that something like this didn’t feel grey, that it still felt like there was color and sunshine.
“The thing that that was really important to me is that that Jacqueline feel like every woman. That Jacqueline didn’t feel like a singular case,” she explains. “I wanted people to see my face and go ‘There are people that look just like you, just like her, just like me, who could be going through these terrible things.’”“I think people don’t really tap into the experience of Black women who are displaced, because a lot of us hide it really well,” Erivo says.
“What I loved about the structure is that you kind of have to get to know her first. Instead of dropping everyone into what has happened, you travel with her,” Erivo says. “You experience what she experiences; you see through her eyes, before you really learn about what her experience was.”
