The Favourite”). Set in the eighteenth century, the drama follows the famous last Queen of France (Schüle) beginning with her teenage years, as she’s sent from her home in Austria to France, in order to marry the awkward Louis XVI (Louis Cunningham), who won’t talk to her and doesn’t appear to bathe. She’s a fish out of water in Versailles, struggling to understand their way of life and deal with court intrigue, while Louis XV (James Purefoy, “Rome”) rules. “It changed my view on her entirely,” said Schüle, who is German and is based in Berlin. “I do think that there is a very wrong image out there about her.
She’s so much more complex than what people think. That’s something we’re really getting into on our show.
The overall image of her is that she was this luxury addict who spent a lot of money, big hair, nice dresses. And yes, she was that.
But why? If you look at the circumstances, she left her home country when she was 14, never saw her mom again. She was forced into a child marriage with someone who wouldn’t touch her for 7 years ,and her full function in life was to give birth to an heir, so she had to bear that humiliation for 7 years, even though it wasn’t her fault.”Schüle said that she’s watched the 2006 Sophia Coppola film starring Kirsten Dunst as Marie Antoinette, but she wasn’t impressed by it. “The film makes me quite angry, because it stays on the surface and doesn’t depict the complexity of her life, the struggle she was facing, and how hostile the environment was that she was living in.
There were forces working against her, trying to get rid of her. I think most of the views of her today are shaped by this Coppala film, and it doesn’t do her justice.”But, the show still features Marie Antoinette
