The Following Events Are Based on a Pack of Lies star Rebekah Staton reveals filming the BBC drama made her reflect on whether she'd been 'gaslit' and 'lied to' by people
From Inventing Anna and The Tinder Swindler to The Dropout, shows about con artists have been stealing the spotlight – now the BBC is getting in on the act with The Following Events Are Based On A Pack Of Lies. Rebekah Staton plays Alice, an unconventional heroine at the heart of the thriller.
After launching her own investigation into Rob’s new identity, Alice suspects he plans to swindle fantasy author and recent widow Cheryl - and sets out to catch him in the act. “He is the demon on her back from her past that is going to unleash a Pandora’s box of hell and in seeing Robbie, she’s got the chance to get answers,” Rebekah says. “If he can do it to Cheryl - someone Alice deems more intelligent, more attractive - then maybe Alice didn’t bring it on herself.
“Gaslighting as a concept is relatively new in our parlance and we are all thinking about it now. I hope more people are able to find the language to describe the situation they’re in because it’s unfortunately very, very common.” Despite the show’s grim subject matter, Rebekah had an “incredible” time on set with the cast, which includes The Mighty Boosh’s Julian Barratt, Emma’s Romola Garai and Sir Derek Jacobi.
" In episode three, things get a little bit more harrowing and I felt very lucky doing those scenes with someone that I implicitly trust. It meant that we could go for it and actually do those moments justice.”
