A sometimes cynical but always lighthearted exploration of the relationship between theatre and film. Ever seen a play-turned-movie that felt a little off?  Or the opposite?  Ever wondered what makes a story match its medium? In In Between Stage and Screen, Abigail explores the relationship between the stage and screen, investigating the nuance of adaptation. Podcast artwork by Digs Brown.
