Stage Door Jonny

28
Performing Arts #112

Hosted by actor Jonathan Cake, Stage Door Jonny is a podcast about theatre ... and life ... and life in the theatre. Jonathan has appeared in countless plays around the world - and made a fair few celebrated acquaintances along the way. So it is that he's assembled a formidable cast of actors, directors and writers to share their memories, reflections, discoveries, triumphs and disasters relating to this most alluring and mysterious and visceral of art forms. And because you'll be privy to conversations among great pals with a mutual passion, this is more akin to drinking at the Dress Circle Bar with some of the finest theatre artists of a generation than waiting for their autographs on a chilly rainswept backstreet in the depths of night.

    My fav
    The kind of theater interview show you want to listen to! Jonathan Cake is an engaging, passionate practitioner-interviewer. The questions get to the heart of how the work is made, how (and why) the guests do what they do. The conversations feel intimate, everyone seems happy to be there. Wonderful, I can’t wait for more.

    Mr Cake is a Joy to Listen to + Learn from
    Jonathan Cake loves theatre and brings us a long for the ride as he interviews the best if the best. His enthusiasm and deeply passionate interest in all that makes theatre magical is intoxicating. Both Season one & two are a treat. Can’t wait for him to do Season three. Bravo Jonny and thank you. I loved every minute

    So interesting to hear tales of the British theater
    Listening to Toby Stephens. A future British national treasure .

    Love every single episode.
    Utterly brilliant. Inspiring, funny, and intimate conversations with some of the greatest theatre artists of our time. Makes me want to write a play, be in a play, see a play, at very least read a play immediately. Cannot recommend enough.

    Fun to listen in on conversations between the brilliant actor Jonathan Cake, (whom I seen on stage many times), and his many talented guests. Love it.

    The literal best
    Jonny, so charming, so lucid, also somehow knows all the most interesting and articulate people alive?? It’s like a theatre nerd created their dream dinner table of guests and then this podcast appeared to deliver them. I am sending the Butterworth ep especially to everyone I know 🙏🏻💛

    Fantastic podcast!
    It’s introducing me to a world I know little about. Great host. Great guests. Worth a listen.

    Brilliant!
    Theater nerd? Broadway/West End regular? One musical a year? Or school plays only? Whatever your relationship to theater this is the podcast for you. Jonathan Cake talks theater with friends like Sarah Jessica Parker, Sam Mendes, Ethan Hawke, Jez Butterworth, William H Macy. It's such a charming, absorbing and invigorating collection of pods about why plays still matter; how you put the outside world away when the lights go down; why actors love it and are terrified in equal measure; how audiences react. And ultimately why human connection matters immensely in our sometimes isolating world of lockdowns, viruses and technology.

    Excellent
    It’s hard for me to get into most podcasts, but there’s something energising in listening to actors talk about their approach to their work. The informality and unscripted-ness of the conversations makes it an enjoyable listen and there’s a great variety of topics and perspectives that get touched on. Truly a gem of a podcast!
