BWW Interview: Brianna Johnston Embodies The White Witch in THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE
by Vicki Trask - Nov 22, 2019
Much of the character's presence is reliant on the actor's ability to be a combination of regal queen, ruthless warrior, and charming temptress. a?oeI've been relying a lot on her physicality.a?? Said Johnston. a?oeThere's a thing that people assume with 'regality'; it's so reserved and so easy to assume coldness on top of that. And so I've been trying to playing into that feeling of pulling back and living in that world like I'm above everybody.a??
