The two actors represent the two paths working mothers take -- staying at home with the kids or going to work. Neither option appears a pretty picture in 'Fleishman Is in Trouble.'
Lizzy Caplan and Claire Danes play Libby and Rachel, two women in “Fleishman Is in Trouble” who are cosmically connected as dual portraits of the restrictive trajectories imposed on working mothers.
As Claire Danes and Lizzy Caplan, the series’ Rachel and Libby, respectively, retire to an empty screening room at the Directors Guild of America in Hollywood during an industry event, the actors observe that they’ve had few opportunities to do joint interviews for this project. In fact, they were barely on set at the same time. “It was very high-five relay style on this,” Danes recalls. “Weirdly, we shot the end first, so when I completed my work, it was Lizzy’s turn.
“There is no greater villain than a mother that dares to have a thought that doesn’t entirely revolve around her children,” Danes says. “Both [characters] abandon their children for a brief time, and they do that in different ways and to different degrees, but in their own internal strife, their conflicts are preoccupying them. Taffy has compassion for them and asks us to try to do the same.”
Much has been made about Rachel’s meltdowns we witness once “Fleishman” finally shows us her side of events — including her primal yell while at a spa retreat — but Danes is just as heartbreaking when Rachel is pregnant and her invasive OB-GYN breaks her water without her permission, inducing labor. The sense of violation is palpable, and Danes communicates Rachel’s helplessness in harrowing fashion.
