Gloria Biegler & Blake Delong
We had the publicity photo shoot at the Blandwood Mansion in Greensboro.
It was originally built in 1795, and expanded through the next century--so we thought it was good enough for a photo shoot of our current period piece.
These photos are a bit ad hoc because I was helping direct, and then just snapped some photos of my own of over the real photographer who is a fella named Nyght Falcon. (A couple of Nyght Falcon's photos can currently be seen in the slideshow on the right.)
Here we were going for one of the more famous images from the play, Ghosts. Osvald has just told his mother some rather terrible news, and frequently the play ends with Osvald embracing his mother, or Mrs. Alving embracing him. I have always been reminded of the Pieta when seeing this image in the play's context. It's the suffering and cradling aspect that links it best.
