67. The Cup | Frankenstein, National Theatre Live

Welcome back to the 67th 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 67th episode we take a spooky detour before we finish our Nicholas Nickleby Review Miniseries by discussing the National Theatre’s 2011 production Frankenstein, adapted from Mary Shelley’s novel by Nick Dear, directed by Danny Boyle, and starring the two Sherlock’s, Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller in the alternating roles of Victor Frankenstein and the Creature. CONTENT WARNING: This production features scenes of overt sexual violence against women. As a result, we address these subjects in our discussion of the performance.
