THE WORLD ELEPHANT 7 WITHOUT SWAN STORIES SHADOWS RIVER GIRLS www.summertheatresmithsfalls.ca SEAN DEVINE & ERIC COATES A CONVERSATION WITH THE PLAYWRIGHT Playwright, Daisy Director, Daisy

Eric Coates: You’re too young to remember the events of 1964. When did this episode of history grab your attention?

Sean Devine: Soon after 9/11, I started researching the role of political consultants and advisers. I guess I’m less curious about the Leader than I am about who’s whispering into the ear of the Leader. From there I learned about famed 1960s communications consultant Tony Schwartz, one of the characters of this play, and his role in the infamous “Daisy Girl” ad. I was quickly hooked.

But I didn’t write Daisy as history. My concerns are absolutely current, i.e. “those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.” There are parallels between the mid-to-late 1960s and our current times. The rise of militarism and political extremism, the counter-culture revolution against it, the heavy-fisted state response to the counter-culture. Sound familiar?

Lyndon B. Johnson’s legacy is rife with contradictions. He championed civil rights, but pushed a foreign policy that is a preview of Donald Trump in terms of protec- tionism and outright thuggery. How do your views of his presidency influence this script?

There are certain themes that repeatedly find their way into my narratives. Betrayal, in its various forms, is one of them. How our institutions betray our trust, and how our own ideals are betrayed by our ambition, ego, greed, etc. Lyndon Johnson was sadly guilty of both of those charges. In Daisy, we see a nation betrayed by a president who sold himself as a peacemaker. And we see an idealist betrayed by personal ambition. For me, the play becomes a tragedy, and speaks to my concern that many of our ideals – social, political, personal – are seeing their currency devalued to a dangerous extent.

Tell me about your research process. How successful were you in tracking down people who were directly or indirectly involved in this story? Did their input trigger any notable shifts in your approach or in the content of the play?

I love research. I spend way too much time on it, that’s for sure. For Daisy, I met the real-life Tony Schwartz just before he died, and still correspond with members of his family. I met the real-life Sid Myers, another character in the play. I sat in the office of advertising legend Bill Bernbach, another character. I have stuff in my basement that should be in a museum, including an audio tape of the “Daisy Girl” ad. But only a fraction of what I learn ends up in the play. Most of it helps me build closer relationships to the characters, and the story, and the truth behind the story.

GCTC 2019–20 SEASON | DAISY 1 One trap that comes from doing research via the real people being dramatized is that I soon discover their own biases. They have blind spots, which is perfectly understandable. They want their life story told in a certain way, because that’s how they see it, even when objectivity proves otherwise. So, I’ve had occasions when I’ve presented information to these real people that changes their view of how they’ve understood key parts of their lives.

GCTC’s mandate asks us to “...provoke examination of Canadian life and our place in the world.” Were you surprised that I included a play about American politics, set in 1964, in our season?

No, because I think Daisy has a very strong resonance here in Canada, and right now. And I’ve been grateful that GCTC sees this. Yes, the play is set in a previous generation, but the questions it asks about the erosion of political discourse and the impact that media has on our elections is just as relevant today. And as for the Canada / U.S. comparison, over the past few years most Canadians have seen that we are not far off from our American neighbours when it comes to exploring the depths of political ugliness.

What’s your favorite ad or ad campaign of all time? Why?

Well, of course I love the “Daisy Girl” ad. But there’s one ad from the same LBJ 1964 campaign, that was made by the same people who made “Daisy”, that I’m quite particular to. It’s called “Confessions of a Republican”. It’s an amazing piece of stream-of-consciousness writing, and a remarkable performance. I’m also a fan of the ad because I managed to track down the actor who did it and have lunch with him in NYC. Google the ad and watch it! You’ll be amazed by how closely a 1964 Republican voter’s concerns about Republican candidate Barry Goldwater feels eerily similar to how contemporary Republican voters might feel about Trump.
