There’s an unfortunate element in a photo of Adam Driver and Heather Burns in a scene from Kenneth Lonergan‘s currently-running “Hold On to Me Darling” (Lucille Lortel Theater).
Driver’s character, a country crossover star named Strings McCrane, is quite clearly wearing….gold-toe socks.
Did Driver choose the socks in order to convey to eagle-eyed theatregoers that McCraine is gauche or clueless on some level? Or does Driver own a few pairs and thought nothing of wearing them during the play?
HE has been on a crusade against these godawful socks for at least a decade if not longer. What was I supposed to do, not say anything?
