Podcast appearances and mentions of Benedict Andrews

After arriving onto the London theatre scene. Daniel Monks has established himself as one of the most exciting actors around. He is now currently back at the Donmar Warehouse in Benedict Andrews' adaptation of The Cherry Orchard. He was last seen on stage in Jamie Lloyd's acclaimed production of The Seagull where he played the iconic role of Konstantin opposite Emilia Clarke and Indira Varma. Now as Pyotr Trofimov, he is once again demonstrating his prowess as an actor to audiences, and it is likely we'll see more spellbinding performances from him in the future.In this brand new interview with Daniel Monks, he talks to us about his London theatre career, looking back on highlights like The Normal Heart and The Seagull. He talks fondly of his time coming to London from Perth, Australia and the journey he has made from writing and directing to coming back to acting.  In our interview, Daniel also talks candidly about the ongoing struggles disable actors in the industry face, commenting specifically on the recent controversy around Shakespeare's Globe's casting of Michelle Terry in the role of Richard III. Still, he is encouraged by the progress made in London with actors like Lizzie Annis and Francesca Mills also delivering strong impacts on the industry. We also talk about the trailblazing directors he's worked with like Benedict Andrews and Jamie Lloyd who Daniel praises for having such courage to reimagine classic works. He also praises outgoing artistic director Michael Longhurst for his vision and openness to reimagining Richard III as Teenage Dick, bringing his talent to the consciousness of London audiences. It's a fascinating discussion and we look forward to seeing what else he does next in the future.

Hermann ist ein hoffnungsloser Fall, lost. Er läuft durch die Welt und träumt von Reichtum und der ganz großen Liebe. Diese Welt ist in der neuen Pique Dame der Bayerischen Staatsoper aber nicht das Sankt Petersburg der Zarenzeit, das Tschaikowsky 1890 aus Alexander Puschkins Novelle musikalisch wiederaufleben ließ. In der Inszenierung des australischen Regisseurs Benedict Andrews sehen wir Hermann in Räumen, die eher an den amerikanischen Film Noir erinnern. Triste Orte. Schauplätze eines Psychokrimis um das ominöse Geheimnis der drei Karten, für das eine alte Gräfin sterben muss, und eine Liebe tödlich endet. Lisa und Herrmann: Hatten sie eine Chance?

Die Revolution des Begehrens: „Die Schule der Liebenden“, so der Untertitel von Wolfgang Amadeus Mozarts Oper Così fan tutte, fängt lustig an, als kreuzweise Treueprobe. Am Ende aber herrscht Verstörung, denn Dorabella und Fiordiligi, die Verlobten der beiden Jungens Guilelmo und Ferrando, erweisen sich als sehr wohl verführbar, eine früher, eine später. Was aber heißt das für die Idee von der wahren Liebe? Und was für die heile Welt unserer Gesellschaft, die auf Heirat, Kinder, Festanstellung … baut? Behält Don Alfonso Recht, der lebenserfahrene „Philosoph“ und Regisseur des abgründigen Spiels, der zu wissen meint: Così fan tutte, so machen es alle (Frauen) –? Oder gibt es, nachdem hier zwei Paare durch das Feuer des Zweifels und der Verzweiflung gegangen sind, noch mehr zu lernen?

Benedict Andrews director of "Seberg" starring Kristen Stewart from Amazon Studios!

‘Seberg’ is inspired by true events about the French New Wave darling and Breathless star, Jean Seberg (Kristen Stewart), who in the late 1960s was targeted by the FBI because of her support of the civil rights movement and romantic involvement with Hakim Jamal (Anthony Mackie), among others. In Benedict Andrews’ noir-ish thriller, Seberg’s life and career are destroyed by Hoover’s overreaching surveillance and harassment in an effort to suppress and discredit Seberg’s activism. In this interview, the director discusses the importance of defending your time to work, his transition from live theatre to evergreen filmmaking, why you make a film three times, and how wonderfully difficult it is to bring ideas to the screen.

Theater director Benedict Andrews discusses the play Blackbird's adaptation to screen in his directorial film debut Una.

Welcome to the House of Crouse. This week legendary theatre director Benedict Andrews calls in to chat up his first film, the controversial Una. He talks about presenting the complex story of a woman and her abuser and working with stars Rooney Mara and Ben Mendelsohn. Then comedian Danny Polishchuk details the long strange journey his latest show took to get to the stage. It's great stuff so c'mon in and sit a spell.

UNA, based on David Harrower's play 'Blackbird' follows a young woman’s journey to reclaim her past. Fifteen years earlier, UNA ran away with an older man, Ray, a crime for which he was arrested and imprisoned. When she comes across a photo of him in a trade magazine, UNA tracks him down and turns up at his workplace. Her abrupt arrival threatens to destroy Ray’s new life and derail her stability. Unspoken secrets and buried memories surface as Una and Ray sift through the wreckage of the past. Their confrontation raises unanswered questions and unresolved longings. It will shake them both to the core. UNA gazes into the heart of a devastating form of love and asks if redemption is possible. Bolstered by the remarkable performances of Rooney Mara and Ben Mendelson, UNA rips at the fragile facade of two irreparably damaged people forced to reconcile entangled their past. Director Benedict Andrews talks about the making of his complex, intimate and relentlessly raw tale of abuse, and unresolved emotion. For news and updates go to: westendfilms.com/una

Following a string of seasoned moviemakers such as Luc Besson, Doug Liman and Steven Soderbergh, we bring you a relative novice this week in the shape of Benedict Andrews. At least - a novice in cinematic terms. For Benedict is one of the world's foremost theatre and opera directors, who makes the transition to the screen with psychological thriller Una. Given this is Benedict's first film, much of the conversation focuses on the differences between the mediums in which he's worked. It also gives us an opportunity to play you examples of music from his stage productions, including extracts from Alex Baranowski's smoky, cinematic score for Streetcar Named Desire, which starred Gillian Anderson. But there's plenty to discuss when it come to Una too. Starring the ever excellent Rooney Mara and Ben Mendelsohn, the narrative centres on a woman confronting an older man about a illicit sexual relationship which took place in their past. The film is scored by Benedict's friend Jed Kurzel, whose work we discussed at length during a previous show with Jed's brother, Justin. Jed has developed a reputation as a composer of serious weight, as evidence by the fact he and the London Contemporary Orchestra recently provided the music for Ridley Scott's Alien Covenant. Hardly surprising, then, that Benedict turned to his old mate on taking the plunge from stage to screen ...

Best known for his series of crime novels starring private detective Charlie Parker, John Connolly's new novel, He, is a fictional reimagining of the life of one of the greatest screen comedians the world has ever known, Stan Laurel, and his enduring partnership with Oliver Hardy, the man he knew as Babe.Actor Ed Skrein has stepped own from the role of Major Ben Daimo in the film Hellboy because he is British and the character Japanese American. Samira Ahmed probes the significance of this, the first time an actor has made such a move, with Rebecca Ford, an Asian American journalist who has been covering the story in Los Angeles for The Hollywood Reporter. Tanika Gupta talks to Samira about her new play Lions and Tigers, which opens tonight at Shakespeare's Globe. The play is based on Tanika Gupta's great-uncle Dinesh Gupta, and his violent resistance against British Rule in 1930s Calcutta. The playwright explains how family recollections of Dinesh and his letters from prison helped inspire the drama.Based on David Harrower's Oliver-Award winning play Blackbird, the film Una is the cinematic debut of acclaimed theatre director Benedict Andrews, starring Rooney Mara as a woman who confronts the older neighbour who sexually abused her when she thirteen. Kate Maltby reviews. Presenter: Samira Ahmed Producer: Julian May.

Ben Mendelsohn joins CJ in studio to talk about his new film Una.

Aribert Reimanns Oper "Medea" stellt die Hauptfigur als Geflüchtete und Opfer ihrer Not in der Fremde dar. Am Sonntag erklang das Werk erstmals in Berlin - an der Komischen Oper. Die Inszenierung von Benedict Andrews ließ keine Wünsche offen, das Publikum reagierte gleichermaßen erschüttert und begeistert.
