 Inside No.9: The Trial of Elizabeth Gadge | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:02:15

This week we're joined by actor, member of sketch comedy group Quirks and Foibles, and recently announced host of the Chichester Free Fringe, Katie Bennett! And it's a doozie, because we discuss staging Inside No. 9 Episode 'The Trial of Elizabeth Gadge'! We wax lyrical about the show we're all huge fans of, talk about how we'd stage the series in general, and then dive into the episode, in which two of England's most notorious and feared witch-finders are summoned by Sir Andrew Pike to the unassuming village of Little Happens in order to try a defenceless old woman.... but as always, there's a twist! We talk about creative ways to do a costume change, reviving repatory theatre, and the place of the audience in a trial play.You can find Quirks and Foibles by searching for them on youtube, or hit up their socials @quirksandfoiblessketch on insta and @quirks_foibles on twitter.Katie is on Twitter @katiefbennettDon't forget to rate the podcast in app and get in contact if you have any thoughts about our staging.

 The Wicker Man (1973) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:00:54

This week we're joined by fellow podcasters Nancy Netherwood and Sam Webber from the Play Ground Theatre Podcast to discuss staging The Wicker Man (1973). Things get weird as we take on this folk-horror-musical-cult-classic that stars Edward Woodward, Christopher Lee and Britt Ekland. The film follows puritan Police Sergeant Howie from mainland Scotland as he arrives on a strange island to investigate the disappearance, and possible murder, of a young girl. It's May Day on this pagan isle and Sergeant Howie's case heats up as he faces down The Wicker Man. We talk the possibility of this show as an immersive, touring, outdoor musical, with community actor-musicians, and using the setting of heritage sites.

 Midnight in Paris | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 57:38

Midnight in Paris: The Musical!This week we're joined by our first married couple, Producer Radha Mamidipudi and Musical Director and Composer Alex Beetschen to chat about the Owen Wilson vehicle Midnight in Paris. The film follows a successful screenwriter trying to make the change to novelist as he enjoys a break in Paris with his fiancée and her disapproving parents. He dreams of Paris in the 1920s until, by a bizarre stroke of luck, he is transported there each night to meet his literary heroes of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein and many more. We quickly decide the best route for this on stage is as a musical and we get to talking about the opulence of the 1920s, dual casting, and making the most of the musical genre.You can find Radha and Alex on Twitter @radhakka and @alexbeetschen respectively.Don't forget to rate the podcast in app and get in contact if you have any thoughts about our staging.

 The Social Network | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:06:49

This week we take a look at the Fincher-Sorkin collaboration, The Social Network. The film charts the rise of Mark Zuckerberg as he creates the most popular social network platform ever. As we talk staging, we discuss potential multi-part sequels, using framing devices onstage, reimagining film for the theatre space rather than recreating it, and how best to utilise the incredible score that this film boasts. You can find the Average Blokes show on Instagram and YouTube and you can find Joshua Clarke on Instagram @therealjoshclarke.Don't forget to rate the podcast in app and get in contact if you have any thoughts about our staging.

 The Invisible Man (2020) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:16:01

We're back from our winter break (and sketch show break, which you can still listen to here), and we are joined by Northern Broadsides Producer Eve Stollery to discuss The Invisible Man (2020) Written and directed by Leigh Whannell, and loosely based on the novel of the same name by H. G. Wells. It follows a woman who believes she is being stalked and gaslit by her abusive and wealthy boyfriend even after his apparent suicide, and ultimately deduces that he has acquired the ability to become invisible. The film stars Elisabeth Moss, Aldis Hodge, Storm Reid, Harriet Dyer, Michael Dorman, and Oliver Jackson-Cohen. It was originally supposed to be part of the shelved Universal Monsters Shared Universe. If you enjoyed the episode then please share it around, and let us know what you thought! Can an invisible man be effectively made on stage? How do we build horror and suspense effectively? Why have there been few horror plays other than the Woman In Black?

 Dominic Cummings' Rose Garden Press Conference | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 56:00

This week we're joined by Cesca Echlin and we're doing something a bit different. Infamously, Boris Johnson's chief political advisor Dominic Cummings broke lockdown rules to drive his wife and son to a cottage in the grounds of his parents house in Durham. He subsequently broke the rules further with an eye-sight-testing trip to Barnard Castle. A month later, he was caught out by the media and sat down for a press conference in 10 Downing Street's rose garden. That press conference is what Cesca has brought us to stage. We dig further into writing a piece around a true-story for the stage, as well as the usual discussions around space, music, casts and more.Read up more on the story around the press conference here.Let us know what you thought of the episode on social media or email in.Twitter/Instagram: @maybeulikeitFacebook: @maybeyoulikeitEmail: info@maybeyoulikeit.co.ukCaleb is on twitter, instagram and letterboxd @caleblebsterJake is on twitter and letterboxd @jakereeshCesca is on twitter @cescagathFind out more about us at https://www.maybeyoulikeit.co.ukMusic is from Kavana CrossleyMaybe You Like It, Maybe You Don't See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
