The folks at WPS1 Art Radio sent me an e-mail as an alert that they interviewed Hugh on the 8th and posted it on their website. You can download it from them or from us in the Audio section, but I warn you that our version is a bit wonky, has a delayed beginning, and is a bit more muffled. It’s up for posterity. Either way, it’s a great interview.

Below is their description and again, you can CLICK HERE to listen/download.

It’s been a good year for boyish Brit, Hugh Dancy. This summer’s film Evening may have won mixed reviews but Dancy scored as a boozy F. Scott Fitzgerald-style bisexual in the starry adaptation of Susan Minot’s novel. Last spring’s Tony-winning revival of the WWI drama Journey’s End marked Dancy’s well-received Broadway debut and now in The Jane Austen Book Club he stands out in another ensemble cast – as the film’s shot of testosterone. The Jane Austen film, scripted and directed by Robin Swicord, gifts major roles to five actresses, including Kathy Baker, Maria Bello, and Emily Blunt, who find better sex lives and happiness from reading Austen’s six novels. Oh, and Dancy has also become a tabloid feature as well, thanks to his affair with Claire Danes, his Evening costar. (17 minutes)
