90. The Cup | Lesson in Forgetting, Pleiades Theatre

Welcome back to the 90th 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 90th episode we bring you a Duet Review of the English-language premiere of Lesson in Forgetting (Exercice de l’oubli) by Emma Haché, presented by PleiadesTheatre. Join Jillian Robinson and Ryan Borochovitz as they discuss the shroud of memory, the power of love, and a blender full of intertextuality. This review contains SPOILERS for Lesson in Forgetting. It will begin with a general non-spoiler review until the [05:45:05] mark, followed by a more in-depth/anything goes/spoiler-rich discussion. If you intend to see the production, we recommend you stop watching after that point, or at least proceed at your own risk.
