1. The Cup | King Lear, Stratford on Film

Welcome to the 1st episode of The Cup which is our a weekly (give or take, TBD, these are unprecedented times) performing arts talk show presented by Cup of Hemlock Theatre. The theatres may be closed, but art finds a way to survive! For the time being on this podcast we are rereleasing our past reviews, interviews, roundtables, and duet reviews in remastered audio only versions so you can take your CoH content on the go! For our first episode we start with rereleasing our inaugural run of The Cup: Reviews, where we reviewed the Stratford Festival Production series that streamed on YouTube last spring. In this episode we discussed the 2014 production of King Lear, directed by Antoni Cimolino, starring Colm Feore in the title role. You can watch this production and all other Stratford Festival productions on their new streaming platform Stratfest@Home.
