Barry, what made you want to direct The Wanderers?

Barry Edelstein: I really value the Globe’s relationship with Anna; we had such a wonderful time with her when we did The Last Match, and I came to admire her on many different levels. Anna is a real philosopher and thinker about humanity and about the world, and that’s a quality I admire enormously in a playwright.

She is also an excellent prose stylist—which is not in itself a prerequisite for being a great playwright. Some playwrights, Playwright Anna Ziegler and director Barry Edelstein discuss their personal connections to the world premiere play The Wanderers. like Harold Pinter, craft fragmentary lines that disguise more than they reveal. Then you find another strain of writers in the Shavian mode where the actual writing of the dialogue itself is beautiful and complex, and the sentences as you read Interview by Danielle Mages Amato them are delicious and beautiful. Anna is one of those playwrights. We gave her a commission and she came back with this piece that turned out to overlap with a lot of personal interests of mine—in particular my many years of exploring Anna, what was the spark that inspired you to write this play? the Jewish tradition, which I grew up in and live in, through my work in the theatre. And of course, I really liked the play.

Anna Ziegler: For me, one of the most rewarding aspects of being a writer is the permission it grants me to peek into other worlds. It always feels a little sneaky, like I’m tiptoeing around, hoping not to be seen or revealed What interested you about exploring and the Satmar for the pretender I am. In the case of this play, I’d always been interested in sect in particular? writing about an arranged marriage. I mean, what would that be like? What would the wedding night be like? I couldn’t resist trying to recreate some AZ: It’s always interesting to think about people with whom you share some version of this experience. But that was only one strand of this play. similarities but whose lives are ultimately quite different. I’m Jewish, so I can see myself in the women of the Hasidic community. We look alike. We were The other strand was inspired by an email correspondence between the raised with some of the same customs and rituals; we share many of the same novelist Jonathan Safran Foer and the actress Natalie Portman published, values. But of course theirs is a fundamentalist strand of the religion; I wanted somewhat inexplicably, in The New York Times in the summer of 2016. It to try to understand the humanity at the heart of these people, similar-and-yet- was ostensibly to promote Portman’s new movie (which she also wrote and not, who take their beliefs to such extremes and live within the lines of such a directed) about the founding of the state of Israel, so there was a lot of smart strict rule book. banter about how complicated Israel and Jewishness are, but really the movie became almost negligible. What stood out was the manufactured tone BE: I lived in Williamsburg, Brooklyn for years, not far from the country’s of the emails, the way Safran Foer and Portman postured and preened for largest community of Satmar Hasidim. Williamsburg is an extraordinary each other. The whole thing came place where different ethnic and religious groups exist cheek by jowl, trying to feel like an exercise around to figure out how to live together, but in the middle of it is the Satmar Hasidic who could out-intellectualize the community, which is all about isolating itself and keeping the influences of the other, while managing also to be world at bay. I’ve always had a real abiding interest in the Satmar, and I don’t know of another play that deals with them at uncomfortably and deliciously all, other than to use them as figures of fun. Anna takes them incredibly seriously, in particular the role of women in their flirtatious. To me, it was also society. It is an extremely beautiful community in that the families are incredibly close knit, generations live together deeply and deliciously and under one roof, children are cared for by the entire village, and there is a purity about religious ritual. Of course, the other uncomfortably human. side of Satmar insularity is that it can lead to a suppression of curiosity, and we know that those who wish to leave the community, especially women, are often treated with real harshness. The Wanderers examines that, too. The gossip was that Safran Foer was in love with Portman, and when his marriage broke up, the evidence of the emails (a What are the big themes you see The Wanderers tackling? correspondence which had, BE: I think one of Anna’s big themes here—and I saw it in The Last Match as well—is why all of us struggle to be happy supposedly, been going on for with the lives we have. In The Wanderers, almost all the characters are just unsatisfied in their lives and are looking around quite some time) made that for ways to make their lives more meaningful. This can be a positive force if it leads to growth and development and a possibility feel pretty plausible. healthy exploration of new ideas. It can also be an incredibly toxic force because it can make you throw away the things So of course I was interested in that are working and wonderful in your life in the name of some to-be-identified future thing that no one can really know everything about that situation, about. and the questions it raises. AZ: It’s funny, I didn’t make that connection between the two plays. But of course I can see that it’s there. The Last Match How much of the charge of looks at the perils of ambition, what you do with yourself when you reach the of your game, while The Wanderers our relationships come from this need to impress the other person? What happens when that goes away? I started to is more about restlessness within relationships and how to resist various forms of temptation. But yes, I think that imagine the world of a play in which these two couples, in completely different ways, explore what makes and breaks question—whether it’s possible to be satisfied with one’s life as it exists now as opposed to how one hopes it will look relationships. The two strands felt connected, like they were tackling the same question from different angles. one day—looms large for me. Doesn’t it for everyone? I assume that question is fairly universal; otherwise we’d all just be happy all the time and no one would want anything or make ridiculous mistakes.

10 PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE 11 THE PLAY

BE: The play also deals with how trauma is handed down from generation to generation. I think all of us who live examined lives are constantly trying to figure out how we are our parents’ children. We’re constantly asking: what traditions did I inherit? What do they mean? Are they positive or negative? How have they shaped my life? That’s especially powerful for Jews because there is looming in our case, two generations ago, and the trauma that the Holocaust has imprinted on Jewish people is something that continues to work itself out generation after generation. But we all have to walk this line between, on the one hand, remembering the past and honoring the horrible violence that took place and the memory of those who died, and on the other, tying our entire identity to the fact that a lot of people wanted to kill us. It’s complicated.

Anna, the characters of Abe and Sophie in The Wanderers are novelists—are you a big fiction reader? What do you like?

AZ: I so wish I were a big fiction reader! I love fiction, but these days, with two small children at home, I often find myself without the bandwidth to read whole books. So my fiction reading is sporadic. But when I read, I tend to reach for novels with epic ambitions. Some favorites are The Interestings by Meg Wolitzer, Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff, Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. I like Philip Roth but haven’t read him in a long time. It would be interesting to return to Satmar women, Brooklyn, New York. him now, after so many years; would the thrilling seem puerile? I doubt it. I so respond to the bravery of authors writing By Danielle Mages Amato unabashedly flawed characters who are almost certainly versions of themselves.

In the late 1700s, Hasidic Judaism emerged as a force in Eastern Europe. Its followers, known as Hasidim (“the pious ones”), sought a mystical, joyful connection to God. Barry, how did you approach the physical production? What inspired the set? Like all Orthodox Jews, Hasidim closely observe the mitzvos, the derived from the . These BE: In Judaism, the table is an extremely powerful metaphor. For example, during Passover the family is sitting around laws shape and govern all aspects of their lives, from belief and ethics to and food. They keep kosher, observe the the table, and there are objects on the table, and the story that you tell as the night goes on involves people pointing to Sabbath, and adhere to daily practices of prayer. objects on the table and explaining what they are. Then in religious Judaism there’s a thing called a tisch (which is for table), and you sit with the great scholar, the , around the table, and the Rebbe holds forth, and it’s intimate, Hasidic Jews, however, have a distinct social organization. They are divided into 25 to 30 different communities or sects, like a graduate seminar. Then, of course, the table is where each of which follows a different Rebbe, or spiritual leader. The title of Rebbe (distinct from the title of ), is dynastic: the family lives its life; the kitchen table is what the family it is passed from father to son. The Rebbe is seen as having remarkable, mystical powers, which derive from his lineage, revolves around. So there is something about the metaphor devotion, and holy practice. of the table that seems right both for the Brooklyn hipster writers who are sitting at their kitchen table writing their The Hasidic community in formed after World War II as Holocaust survivors arrived from Central and novels, and for the Orthodox Jewish family in the play, Eastern Europe. Today, 10 percent of American Jews identify as Orthodox, and about 35 percent of those are Hasidic. The because so much of Jewish ritual on the domestic level Hasidic population in the United States is estimated at around 140,000. involves something happening at the table. The characters in Anna Ziegler’s The Wanderersbelong to the Satmar sect of Hasidic Judaism. The sect was formed in 1904 in the city of (then Hungary, today ) by Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum, the first Rebbe of the Satmar. Anna, could you say a bit about your relationship During World War II, Hungary did not fall to Germany until 1944, so a larger number of Hungarian Hasidim survived with The Old Globe? the Holocaust. Among them was Rabbi Teitelbaum, who was one of 1,300 Jews rescued from the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp and relocated to the United States. He arrived in New York City with the goal of repopulating the AZ: I am so fortunate to be able to call The Old Globe an Hasidic community and re-creating the world of pre-war Europe in America in honor of the generation destroyed by the artistic home.

In 2011, a small group of arts practioners from the Midwest was faced with a problem: the inherent isolation of working with incarcerated individuals. Because of the remote locations of the prisons, this group needed to unite and show they were not alone, to create a network where there was none. When asked about those early days of planning, Executive Director Scott Jackson of Shakespeare at Notre Dame spoke about why they felt it was so important. “We knew we needed to form a social justice movement because the experiences we were learning about by doing the work were just so diverse and important.” Artist Circle ($25,000 to $29,999)

Curt Tofteland, Founder and Producing Director of Shakespeare world, and that could only happen by putting everyone in the Behind Bars, also saw the possibilities for a unique community same room. A second convening in 2016 built on this foundation. when professor Peter Holland came to Notre Dame from the Shakespeare Institute in Stratford-upon-Avon in England. That spirit of connection inspired the group to move the Tofteland said, “Peter organized an academic conference when conference from its Midwestern roots to The Old Globe, where he got to Notre Dame, and I discovered that he was interested the 2018 conference was held in March. Tofteland explained, “The in Shakespeare performance, not just Shakespeare on the page.” reason it was held at Notre Dame was that they had the resources to nurture it.

After Tofteland attended a conference in Rotterdam Director Circle ($10,000 to $24,999) regarding this kind of work, discussion turned to action. “I Jackson added, “The Old Globe is such a well-established and wanted to bring someone in to talk about what was going well-known institution in America. Its commitment to theatre on internationally,” he said. “I knew Peter and Scott had the being more than entertainment, its commitment to programs resources to make this happen, and what started out as a speaking that invest in the community. That is something that unites us engagement quickly grew into an international conference.” in change.”

The Shakespeare in Prisons Conference was born. The first Another thing that made the San Diego conference different from conference in 2013 was all about getting to know other previous iterations was the inclusion of so many correctional professionals and creating a network across the country and the professionals, including San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore, who is a huge proponent of rehabilitation and who delivered the keynote address this year. “We’ve never had that many law enforcement officials at the conference,” said Tofteland. “It was a great opportunity to share what’s effective. There was a lot to learn from them.” Founder Circle ($5,000 to $9,999) Craig Noel Circle ($2,500 to $4,999) Bringing the Shakespeare in Prisons Conference to The Old Edward Jones Financial Advisor, David S.
