Welcome back to the 19th 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 19th episode we continue to release 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 2019 production of Othello, directed by Nigel Shawn Williams, starring Michael Blake in the title role. On this panel, we have the added pleasure of being joined by returning guest David Collins, who played the Senator in this production. You can watch this production and all other Stratford Festival productions on their new streaming platform Stratfest@Home.
