DEAR FRIENDS, When we first imagined The Yard at Chicago Shakespeare and the artistic capacity inherent in its flexible design, we hoped that this new venue would invite artists to dream big as they approached Shakespeare’s work. Every theatermaker involved in today’s production of Macbeth, from co-directors Aaron Posner and Teller to our incomparable design team and distinguished cast, has embraced the dynamic nature of this state-of-the-imagination theater. The result is an astonishing psychological Y thriller that will keep you rapt from beginning to end, bursting with a suspenseful h

P soundscape, magic-infused weird sisters, and a theatrical volume that envelops a you in a world of blinding ambition. Macbeth is the fifth production of The Yard’s inaugural season. Complementing work in our Courtyard and Upstairs theaters, since its opening in September 2017 hotog R our third venue has hosted international imports from France and Mexico; a hip- hop holiday classic developed by our new work initiative; an abridged staging co P

S of a Shakespearean comedy for tens of thousands of students; and now, an epic a production of the Scottish play. For each production in this line-up, the theater

ca R has shifted configurations to best serve the vision of our artists and the audience’s relationship to the work on stage. Ranging from an intimate cabaret theater to today’s larger proscenium stage, The Yard has delivered on its promise to be one of the most flexible theaters in the world. As we look ahead to next season, celebrating our move to Navy Pier twenty years ago, we are so grateful for audience members like you who, by engaging in our work, have allowed this home for Shakespeare to evolve into a world-class theatrical center. Our promise to you is a three-theater complex bursting with vibrant productions of Shakespeare, new work that bears his artistic genius, international imports that showcase the leading artists of the world, and education programs that will impact generations to come. The future is bright with you at our side. And we can’t wait to see what lies ahead! n fftchicago.com Barbara Gaines Criss Henderson Steve Solomon Proud to be a partner with Artistic Director Executive Director Chair, Board of Directors Carl and Marilynn Thoma Chicago Shakespeare Theater Endowed Chair

But what these two stories do have in common is that they’re both about situations TELLER: Though in magic, we often do get away with where reality seems fluid. You could apply that same phrase from Macbeth to arbitrary movements and arbitrary gestures, and the The Tempest: ‘Nothing is but what is not.’ Magic is appropriate to both plays audience buys it. But Aaron won’t let me get away with because it’s helpful to put the audience into the same emotional position that that, and it strengthens the magic enormously. Aaron insists these characters are to their world. The Macbeths are subject to illusions and that it’s all motivated by the actors, so when you get to that hallucinations. They mistake what the reality of the situation is, and think that magic trick, it’s cubed in its effect because you’ve woven it they can take the witches’ prophecies as straight information.

The The Tempest; magic in The Tempest, I would say, was ‘merry.’ The magic in Macbeth is very much on the creepy side. There everybody dies were twenty-five magic tricks in The Tempest; there are in Macbeth. It’s six major magical sequences in Macbeth. We are doing magic that is necessary: we are creating the complexity a different world. of their difficult mind-state, and making the world unreliable through magic.

POSNER: Half the magic, twice the plot. It’s a visceral, psychological, supernatural horror thriller.

TELLER: There’s no real danger in The Tempest. Prospero’s biggest trick is the shipwreck; he’s using magic to create the illusion of danger and death. His ability to conjure illusions is his strongest weapon. In Macbeth, illusions—both visual and verbal—lead to knives and murder. Nobody dies in The Tempest; everybody dies in Macbeth. It’s a different world. Even in its day, The Tempest was a different kind of show altogether: it was a pageant, more like a musical. The Tempest is not plot-driven the way Macbeth is. Macbeth is a bite-your-fingernails suspense yarn about a guy ‘just like you’—who happens to get caught by these strange circumstances and gets snarled in this web of evil.

The set design, the musical choices, the idea of Hell’s Attic, from which our Weird Sisters and their demon percussionist ally, Hecate, look down at the thanks and world of human folly, all came out of a sense of scale that The Yard’s space best wishes. demands, and that you want to fulfill. n

THE STORY OF MACBETH the new government of King James I. The first published text of Macbeth appeared with the first Folio in 1623—printed seven years after Shakespeare’s The Weird Sisters await Macbeth and Banquo as the two warriors, victorious death. There is evidence in the first Folio text (as in a number of Shakespeare’s from battle, return home. On the heath, they greet the two men with strange other plays) of the work of collaborators, and indeed portions of the witches’ prophecies: Macbeth will be the Thane of Cawdor and King, but it will be Banquo scenes are attributed to one of Shakespeare’s contemporaries, Thomas Middleton. who fathers Scotland’s future royal line. Soon the men hear word that the first part of the prophecy is now true: the treasonous Cawdor is to be executed, and Macbeth’s bravery earns him the new title from the grateful king, Duncan.

Four hundred years after his death, Shakespeare continues to raise questions, arguments, and point/counterpoints among—and sometimes between—scholars and theater practitioners. The same script through different lenses reveals itself in a myriad of ways—leaving us, the readers of text and performance, to think and rethink our own points of view. Such is the legacy that Shakespeare left us. We hope that our program notes enrich, deepen, and sometimes even challenge our audiences’ experience with the production they witness. Double, Double

Whenever we watch a truly dazzling trick, we are momentarily immobilized by wonder, even as our minds

40 Spring 2018 | Macbeth www.chicagoshakes.com 41 In Macbeth, Shakespeare doubles down on this effect, and plays it out across a wild range of resonances. Night seeps in from every corner of the play; the language of darkness clusters so thick that its auditors could not help but register, and even savor, their entrenchment in a doubled consciousness— brightness in their actual eyes; darkness in their minds’—and the flip-trick of causation (words, not photons) that continually reenacts this bifurcation. The play’s famous paradoxical pairings render the effect even more pervasive, as when, for example, the witches’ mysterious first incantation—“Fair is foul and foul is fair”—mutates two scenes later into Macbeth’s very first spoken line: “So fair and foul a day I have not seen.” And Lady Macbeth, in her formidable first soliloquy, will soon be echoing the witches also, without ever hearing or meeting them.

In those subliminal “transmissions” gleams a hint of the play’s core question. What makes the Macbeths do what they do? Is it their own appetites and ...‘nothing is but ambitions? That would be the “natural,” human- agency answer. Or is it the witches’ scripting—in what is not.’ That, which case they may operate as supernatural of course, is the playwrights and directors of this inexorable tragedy? As the brilliant Oxford Shakespearean Emma Smith effect of watching has argued, Macbeth poses this question at every a great magic act. turn, and never answers it. Instead, Shakespeare Or a great play. floats it over his audience like a hypnotic, immobilizing spell. When Macbeth first hears the witches’ prophesies, he confesses, in soliloquy, that they have stunned him to a standstill. Under the spell of the murder he might enact, he finds that his “function[s]” (thought, word, action) are now so “smothered in surmise / That nothing is but what is not.” “On the bat’s back I do fly That, of course, is the effect of watching a great magic act. Or a great play.
