Notes

• This character is complex and his dark urges stem from the very real human struggle between sin and piety. He is not a caricature or a shallow archetype, but a fully realized person with layers of conflicting desires, beliefs and self-loathing. In portraying the judge, disregard any impulse to dilute or demonize him. Explore his hypocrisy, cruelty and twisted obsessions with raw, unflinching honesty. Let his every deplorable act and unhinged line of dialogue spring from a place of psychological authenticity. He is the villain of his own story.
