Bienvenue! Today we're in Paris speaking with French performer / educator / writer / Beckett expert (Beckettxpert?) Matthieu Protin about : soliloquys with a mouth full of blood, title characters that go AWOL, saving ailing spectators, and the dangers of classical raked stages -- is it worse to be sliding off the stage, or in the audience waiting to get smushed? Roll with us on this one.

Waiting for... Hamlet? (with Matthieu Protin)

Ah, the theatre... The show must go on, in spite of disastrous mishaps, mortifying flubs, happy accidents, and heroic ad libs … This is “Never Say Macbeth,” with your host Laurie Winkel, the podcast about the unpredictability of life on the stage and how we cope with major surprises. Buckle up, because some of these stories are pretty crazy. Cover art: Chris Mayers Theme music: Blake Long
