However I feel he’s Jack’s solely lifeline and to roll the cube to wish to make one thing of himself regardless of the potential penalties is [something] I’m very happy with. And I really feel protected in the truth that he’s liked by his discovered household in the home. And so he feels protected in a manner, and I’m actually grateful for that because the watchful eye on him.”

    In summer season 2019, Ahlers was in Pasadena doing a play when his supervisor texted him about “the premier script of the season,” a brand new collection from Julian Fellowes. Ahlers’ household had been diehard “Downton Abbey” followers and so he was nicely acquainted with Fellowes’ work. Whereas studying the script, a buddy got here to thoughts. 

    “Louisa Jacobson and I had completed a play in 2018 when she was nonetheless at Yale, and I used to be going into my senior 12 months at Michigan,” he explains. They hadn’t spoken for a couple of 12 months or so however when he learn “Gilded,” he instantly considered her for Marian.

    “There’s quite a lot of nice exhibits on the market, however this one is so pleasant and satisfying in such a singular manner. It’s like an ideal pastry,” Ahlers says of what makes “The Gilded Age” such a success. “And I do assume that folks just like the mirror that we’re holding up and we’re not telling anyone what’s proper or what’s fallacious or the right way to assume, however the occasions are frighteningly reflective of one another.
