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!    Where to find Talking Hitchcock and Links to Rebecca’s Work Find Talking Hitchcock on X @hitch_pod and Instagram @talkinghitchpod where you can support the podcast and keep up to date with releases or email me on [email protected] Read Rebecca’s editorial for FANGORIA to mark ROPE’s 75th anniversary-Cat And Mouse: Who Is The Real Villain Of Hitchcock's ROPE?
