FULL GALLOP WELCOME

Welcome to Full Gallop! With this produc- tion we’re delighted to return to a play The Old Globe launched exactly 20 years ago. Over the course of its history, the Globe has developed a reputation for premiering new musicals that go on to successful lives on Broadway and at regional theatres across the country—but the Globe has served this vital role for plays as well. Full Gallop first appeared at the Globe in 1995, in a produc- tion directed by Associate Artist Nicholas Martin and starring the play’s co-author, Mary Louise Wilson. In the years since that production made the successful leap from to , the play has been produced at theatres across the country. Now Full Gallop comes full circle, and we’re DOUGLAS GATES so glad to welcome it back to The Old Globe. Managing Director Michael G. Murphy and Artistic Director Barry Edelstein.

And who better to capture the spirit and verve of than the incomparable ? A bona fide star in her own right, Mercedes has the captivating talent and the command of the stage that this play and its subject demand. Thanks to her performance, along with the work of skilled director Andrew Russell and a top-notch creative team, Full Gallop allows us all a great pleasure that might otherwise have been lost forever: the chance to have an audience with The Empress of Fashion herself. We promise: it’s an experience not soon to be forgotten.

In 1955, Diana Vreeland, already well-established as fashion editor for Harper’s Bazaar, moved with her husband to a new apartment on Park Avenue. Always fascinated by the power of the color red, Vreeland described to friend and interior designer Billy Baldwin that she wanted her living room to emulate “a garden from hell.” This eccentric description came as no surprise—Vreeland was already well known for promoting outrageous, fun ideas in her famous “Why Don’t You?” column. Vreeland’s resulting Red Room captured her eccentric personality and also served as the perfect artistic haven amid the bustle of the city.

Baldwin took her words to heart. He packed the room with majestic colors and designs that covered every wall and piece of furniture. Each element within the room held a story, whether old or new, that Diana Vreeland. LOUISE DAHL-WOLFE filled the space to the brim.
