We all want to be free. But finding true freedom within our communities, within our families and within ourselves is no easy task. Nor is easy to reconcile our own freedom with the political, religious and cultural freedoms of others. Happily, the conflict created by our search for freedom makes for great theatre... Shakespeare’s , in which I’m delighted to direct Martha Henry, is a play about the yearning to be released from

CLASSICCLASSI FILMS imprisonment, as revenge and forgiveness vie OscarWildeCinema.com TM for the upper hand in ’s heart. Erin Shields’s exciting new interpretation of Milton’s Paradise Lost takes an ultra- contemporary look at humanity’s age-old desire for free will – and the consequences of acting on it. I’m very proud that we have the internationally renowned with us directing Shakespeare’s , a play about early Roman democracy. It is as important to understanding the current state of our democratic institutions as is Shakespeare’s play about the end of the Roman Republic, Julius Caesar. Recent events have underlined the need for the iconic story To Kill a Mockingbird to be told, as a powerful reminder that there can be no freedom without justice. Freedom is no less central to our two musicals: in The Music Man, freedom of expression through the arts brings joy and self-discovery into the hearts of young people, while the raucous fun of The Rocky Horror Show celebrates the joy of simply being oneself, without judgment. Sometimes freedom comes in finding our other half, as in Shakespeare’s or Oscar Wilde’s brilliant An Ideal Husband. Other times our families make our own individual dreams elusive, as in Eugene O’Neill’s great play Long Day’s Journey Into Night or Jordi Mand’s engrossing new work about three famous literary sisters, Brontë: The World Without. Finally, I’m thrilled to direct John Murrell’s new translation of Eduardo De Filippo’s comic masterpiece Napoli Milionaria!, in which a family faces the greatest threat to our freedom – our CINEPLEX EVENTS desire for money. The extraordinarily talented 2018 is eager to bring these stories to OPERA | DANCE | STAGE | GALLERY | CLASSIC FILMS vibrant life for you.

Uncompromising. If there were one word means of one mind. In the opening scene to describe the character Caius Martius/ of the play, when the citizens are gathered Coriolanus upon which we could all agree, to protest the patricians’ refusal to share that would be it. Beyond that, the questions the stores of grain with them, he has them begin. Is his refusal to compromise speak with two voices. A First Citizen admirable or deplorable? Deeply principled wants to kill Caius Martius as “chief enemy or profoundly undemocratic? In the most to the people.” A Second Citizen urges simplistic terms, is the protagonist of his fellows to “consider … what services Shakespeare’s last tragedy a hero or a he has done for his country” and exhorts villain? them to “speak not maliciously.” Yet there is no doubt that it is the belligerent First Perhaps put so baldly, the question is Citizen who is louder and ultimately more moot.

Cominius, All of the heroes? the Consul and commander-in-chief of the All the Shakespearoes? army, speaking of the title character, tells They watched their Rome burn! the Senate: Whatever happened to the heroes? It is held No more heroes anymore! That valour is the chiefest virtue, and There, in a few lines, Coriolanus becomes Most dignifies the haver.

If I didn’t quite grasp Be singly counterpoised. the allusions at the time, I understood The use of the word valour has been in vividly the gap between my outlook and decline for over a century now. It is not that that of the punk rockers. Whereas I still we despise the trait it names, but perhaps had heroes, the punks were disinclined to as a people we are less warlike than our adulation. Cynicism seemed to them the forebears. So, while we still admire valour aptest attitude to the world as they knew it. when we see it, we no longer quite expect And they may have been prescient about it of most human beings. This is why so the matter of heroes. To have popular many modern armies train soldiers in much heroes, one needs a populace that is the same way as fighting dogs are trained: sufficiently trusting and of one mind about so as to instil a vicious disposition. We’re heroic virtues. tacitly admitting that it would be unrealistic As Shakespeare represents them in to expect most people to behave Coriolanus, the people of Rome are by no valorously as a matter of rational choice.

9 SILLS, TOM ROONEY SILLS, TOM É FROM LEFT: GRAHAM ABBEY, ANDR GRAHAM ABBEY, FROM LEFT:

In the scenes that show us Caius Martius that Coriolanus’s lack of affability may earning his surname, Coriolanus, there have stemmed from insufficient formal can be no doubt that he is valiant. He education. The largely self-educated embraces seemingly impossible odds by Shakespeare wasn’t having any of that. In pursuing the Volsces back behind their Coriolanus, he has given us a protagonist own gate and stands “himself alone to whose confident use of language is answer all the city.” And then, incredibly, perhaps his most impressive weapon. But having emerged triumphant if bloody, unlike Richard III, he speaks no “honey he insists on immediately venturing words.” He expects the citizens to fight for into another part of the battle. His chief Rome if they want a share of the stores complaint with the people of Rome, of grain and sneers at their indignation apparently, is that they are unwilling to and rage. Few would call this behaviour do the same. While at some level, all this likeable, but for those who believe that may earn our awe and admiration, it is sometimes the thinking individual is morally difficult to feel entirely comfortable about obliged to stand in opposition to the such an excess of valour. Seemingly, popular will, the play if not the protagonist Coriolanus excels at the chief human has been greatly admired. , virtue by breaking rank with what is for example, drew inspiration from it for human in himself.

Like its title character, Coriolanus also That contempt for the common people has offers few concessions to popular led various critics to condemn Coriolanus expectations. Unlike Shakespeare’s other for his lack of populism and his excessive major tragic protagonists, Coriolanus is pride. Even Plutarch, the original source given no soliloquies through which the for the story, was less than sympathetic audience might gain access to his private toward his protagonist, suggesting thoughts and perhaps build sympathy.

Instead, he remains channels for public discussion, political stubbornly within the scenes, as if to say: I discourse has been increasingly dominated am what I am; take it or leave it. by a vicious argument between two camps, neither of which could be said to be made Anyway, if we decide that Coriolanus, up of great champions of democracy. despite all his accomplishments, is On one side we see great masses of excessively proud, what are we to say of the citizens? When they refuse to people who, furious with the perceived endorse Coriolanus as consul unless he inadequacies of the government that their humbles himself before them, flattering democratic systems have given them, seek them and begging their favour, is this not to vengefully disrupt the status quo, even petulant conceit? Of course, in taking this if it means electing a vulgar autocrat or stand, they are in part responding to the risking a resurgence of bitter tribalism. On machinations of their tribunes, Sicinius and the other are those who rage against the Brutus. Instead of advocating reasonably ignorance of those masses upon whom the on behalf of the starving masses as they viability of democracy depends. are meant to do, the tribunes prove To be sure, there are still reasonable themselves demagogues who promote moderates who call for reform while their own power by goading the people upholding the natural right of citizens to into reckless hatred of the city’s ablest express their frustration, but such are not protector. The problem with the common the voices that dominate call-in shows, people, Shakespeare seems to imply, Twitter, Facebook or Internet comment is that they are too impervious to virtue boards. And the awesome power of these if it lacks superficial appeal and too newer media to deliver public shamings easily made into a mob by unscrupulous or to incite a mob mentality is greater than manipulators. any we have known. We may not feel love Perhaps that seems a distastefully for the title character of Coriolanus, and undemocratic opinion. But in 2018, how yet we may still feel terror and pity at the many of us can declare sincerely that the thought of the swiftness with which he will of the common people must be held could be torn down in the age of Twitter. sacrosanct, whatever it may be?

As more and more people Queen’s University in Kingston.

THE STORY Although renowned as a fearless military leader, Caius Martius is unpopular among the plebians, the common people of Rome, who resent his arrogance and equate him with the patrician elite whom they believe to be responsible for the current food shortage. Martius in turn despises the plebians as cowardly, fickle and untrustworthy. For his extraordinary heroism in defeating the Volsces, enemies of Rome, and capturing the Volscian city of Corioles, Martius is honoured with the name of Coriolanus; he is also prevailed upon by his friends, and by his strong-willed mother, to run for consul, Rome’s highest public office. But the warrior is no politician – and he faces unaccustomed enemies in the form of two tribunes of the people, Sicinius Velutus and Junius Brutus, who fan the flames of populism against him, with catastrophic results.

One of the greatest scenes in the play is the one in which Volumnia convinces her son to go to the forum and try to reconcile himself with the people. She comes from the old establishment of how things used to be, the hierarchy, but she’s able to adapt to the new system. She represents compromise. But Coriolanus doesn’t understand compromise. He feels she’s asking him to betray the very principles she raised him to believe in. DP: The complexity of that mother-son relationship reminds us that this isn’t just a political drama.

14 PLAYWRIGHT WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

Born in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1564, William Shakespeare was the eldest son of John Shakespeare, a glover and tanner who rose to become an alderman and bailiff of the town, and Mary Arden, the daughter of a wealthy farmer. The exact date of his birth is unknown, but there is a record of his baptism at Stratford’s Holy Trinity Church on April 26. Since an interval of two or three days between birth and baptism would have been quite common, tradition has it that he was born on April 23 – the same date as his death fifty-two years later. The young Shakespeare is assumed to have attended what is now King Edward VI Grammar School in Stratford, where he would have studied rhetoric, grammar and ancient Roman literature in its original Latin. In 1582, when he was eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway, a farmer’s daughter who was eight years his senior. Anne was pregnant at the time, and the couple’s first daughter, Susanna, was born By 1595, Shakespeare was back in the a few months afterwards in 1583.

THE SECOND TRACK In 2018, with the permission of Canadian Actors’ Equity Association, 13 members of our acting company are devoting part of their season’s work to a program of artistic exploration known as the “Second Track.” This program is conducted under the auspices of the Laboratory, the Stratford Festival’s research and development initiative. THE BIRMINGHAM CONSERVATORY FOR CLASSICAL THEATRE Stephen Ouimette leads this intensive professional training program that nurtures talented young actors for a future in classical theatre. Selected by audition, participants are usually graduates of an accredited theatre training program who have at least two years’ professional experience. Upon completion of the program – which includes, among other activities, classes in voice, movement and text with Festival coaches and distinguished guest instructors – participants are offered places in the following season’s acting company. Twenty-seven members of this season’s company are past participants. The Birmingham Conservatory for Classical Theatre is made possible by the support of the Birmingham family, the Stratford Festival Endowment Foundation and the Department of Canadian Heritage. The 2018 in-season work of Conservatory participants is supported by the Marilyn & Charles Baillie Fund, by the Chicago Associates of the Stratford Festival and by John & Therese Gardner.

THE MICHAEL LANGHAM WORKSHOP FOR CLASSICAL DIRECTION Overseen by Antoni Cimolino, Artistic Director, and Martha Henry, Director of the Michael Langham Workshop, this program offers an unparalleled opportunity for directors in the mid-stages of their careers to develop their craft within the rich artistry of the Stratford Festival. Each participant works as the assistant director on one production in the season, as well as being offered classes focused on the classics. In the fall, selected participants direct a short piece of classical theatre performed for an invited audience. Participants and alumni this season: Graham Abbey, Mikaela Davies, Andrew Kushnir, Carson Nattrass, Ron Pederson, Tyler J. Seguin, Jennifer Stewart, Laura Vingoe-Cram, Lezlie Wade, James Wallis, Ted Witzel We extend our thanks to the Department of Canadian Heritage, Johanna Metcalf and the George Cedric Metcalf Foundation and the Philip and Berthe Morton Foundation.
