25. The Cup | Interview with M. L. Rio (If We Were Villains)

Welcome back to the 25th 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 25th episode we have a new artist interview. This particular conversation was hosted by our Literary Manager and co-producer of all things The Cup Ryan Borochovitz. The artist who took on the hot seat was M. L. Rio, author of the 2017 Shakespeare-inspired campus novel, If We Were Villains. Enjoy as M and Ryan talk about about the book and the bard, acting and academia, and everything in between. Cup of Hemlock Theatre is a Toronto-based performing arts collective dedicated to staging works that examine the moral quandaries of the human experience. With an inquisitive compass, we aim to provide audiences the space to retrace their personal stories and navigate their individual ideologies.
