Talking Hitchcock

Staging Patrick Hamilton's ROPE / playing the role of Brandon plus First Responses to Hitchcock's ROPE with actor Jack Hammett


Listen Later


You are invited back into the Talking Hitchcock screening room! Joining me this month is special guest actor Jack Hammett who starred in the role of Brandon in Theatre

Clwyds adaptation of Patrick Hamilton’s ROPE which I saw earlier this year.



As listeners may know by now, ROPE is a firm Hitchcock favourite of mine and therefore I was thrilled to have the opportunity to speak with Jack!



In the first part of the podcast, we get underneath the charming, controlled and pristine exterior of Brandon, as Jack shares details of how he brought the character

life in performance, including his research, preparation and readings of the role. In the second part of our discussion, Jack shares his exclusive thoughts
and initial responses to Hitchcock’s ROPE which he watched for the first time ahead of our discussion. To get such fresh and new takes on ROPE was such a treat for me indeed and I am so pleased to bring you this episode of
Talking Hitchcock!
