Episode 10: A Means Without End
Film still from A Plot, A Scandal. A person is sits on top of a thick fur blanket or rug. They are sat on their bottom, their right hand and leg are raised up. In their hand they hold a what looks like a wooden pole. They are dressed in lilac silk and wear a wig of light curly hair, like a judge’s wig. It is a staged environment with a cast of yellow light highlighting the figure.
