'The Little Drummer Girl': Charlie makes her debut in the "theater of real" and she is perfect

Charlie lies, and lives through it, and she is almost like a character out of fiction who is completely living in the author's world.
PUBLISHED NOV 5, 2018

Among the things that Park Chan-wook's adaptation of John Le Carre's 'The Little Drummer Girl' touches upon such as the Arab-Israel conflict, terrorism, and the symbolic use of art, "the theatre of real" found prominence in the second episode which aired on November 4 on BBC One.

The episode followed Charlie's (Florence Pugh) introduction to Marty's (Michael Shannon) script, which only intends to use Charlie as a pawn to bring down the Palestinian terrorist, Khalil, and her role as the smitten lover of Michel, which Becker suggests as an alternative to Salim, Khalil's brother.
