Welcome back to the 92nd episode of The Cup which is our a weekly (give or take, TBD, these are unprecedented times) performing arts talk show presented by Cup of Hemlock Theatre. The theatres may be closed, but art finds a way to survive! For the time being on this podcast we are rereleasing our past reviews, interviews, roundtables, and duet reviews in remastered audio only versions so you can take your CoH content on the go! For our 92nd episode we bring you a Duet Review of Two Weird Tales, written and performed by Eric Woolfe, adapted from the novellas The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka and At the Mountains of Madness by H. P. Lovecraft. Join Ryan Borochovitz and Mackenzie Horner, as they discuss cockroaches and old ones, the narrative function of card tricks, and the underrated value of a clever theatre program!

This review contains SPOILERS for Two Weird Tales, as well as the literary sources upon which it is based. It will begin with a general non-spoiler review until the 00:15:32 mark, followed by a more in-depth/anything goes/spoiler-rich discussion. If you intend to see the production, we recommend you stop watching after that point, or at least proceed at your own risk.
