This week on 0684-Radi0, our free podcast (subscribe here in the iTunes Store), we talk to Luke Parker Bowles, co-founder and CEO of CinemaLab, the company that operates The Playhouse movie theater, event space, pub and concession on Elm Street (here on Instagram). Note that CinemaLab recently entered into a partnership with London’s famed National Theatre and now has the ability to broadcast live select multi-award-winning plays on the big screen at The Playhouse. While “Hamlet” and “Frankenstein” (both starring Benedict Cumberbatch) already have been screened this month, future broadcasts include “Vanya” (Dec. 4), “The Motive and the Cue” (Dec. 11) and “Present Laughter” (Dec. 18).
