155. It was a tragic week for love on stage
About this episode
The episode discusses recent theater reviews focusing on long love stories and the role of dance in performance.
Sarah has been hither and thither this week reviewing very long plays (with some very late endings) – with Romeo and Juliet starring Sadie Sink and Noah Jupe clocking in at three hours, while Les Liaisons Dangereuses with Lesley Manville and Aidan Turner not far off the same duration. It brings up all sorts of questions about love stories on stage, the importance of dance for bringing out unspoken truths, and whether or not you should smile during a curtain call. Hosted on Acast.
