Episode 360. Austin Tichenor’s ‘Frankenstein’
Austin Tichenor’s adaptation of Mary Shelley‘s Frankenstein is getting new life, with a new production and published acting edition. Austin talks to director Rob Richards about the current production and they consider the ideal interpreters of 19th-century Romantic authors, some genius casting notions, the dangers of polite acting, the close relationship between laughter and screams, a special appearance by newly elected Senator Cory Booker, dodgy Jeff Goldblum impressions, and the nature of monstrosity.
