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 it 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 The Tempest, 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 Prospero’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 Robert Lepage with us directing Shakespeare’s Coriolanus, 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 The Comedy of Errors 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 Stratford Festival company is eager to bring these stories to OPERA | DANCE | STAGE | GALLERY | CLASSIC FILMS vibrant life for you.

One of Shakespeare’s earliest plays, and lodging. Fantasyland indeed – it’s a play! certainly the shortest, The Comedy of Shakespeare deftly interweaves elements Errors was performed on occasions that from three classical plots, and his show it was well loved by Shakespeare’s deviations from his source materials reveal company and his contemporaries. The his genius and the play’s depths. His first first recorded performance occurred on source is an ancient Hellenistic tale of December 28, 1594, during Christmas Apollonius of Tyre, which provides the revels that extended over several nights story of Egeon, involving loss, wandering, at Gray’s Inn. A contemporary allusion threatened death, and reunion – the (quoted below) indicates that it was still in “frame” of romance that encloses the the repertoire in 1602, and it was chosen furious farce and finally places everything for a court performance in the Christmas within a wider context. We respond revels of 1604 – Shakespeare’s company, sympathetically to Egeon’s plight, given our the King’s Men, were putting their best foot own daily experiences with diaspora, family forward with The Comedy of Errors on this separations, and hoped-for reunions. occasion of royal festivity for their patron, King James. The second plot comes from the Menaechmi by Plautus, a tale of twin men, The Comedy of Errors has continuing one of whom is seeking the other and who appeal. Classically structured, in five acts come, after many mistakes, to eventual with unity of place and action, it takes reunion. Shakespeare used this idea again place during a single tumultuous day in Twelfth Night, and the two plays were in Ephesus. There is considerable time linked by a witness to the 1602 performance pressure: one character, Egeon, is under a mentioned above: “At our feast we had death sentence, to be executed at 5 p.m., a play called Twelfth Night, or What You and clocks are repeatedly mentioned. Will, much like The Comedy of Errors.” Shakespeare did not write such another This production takes the connection even tightly unified play until The Tempest further, making Antipholus of Syracuse a (1611), the last one that he wrote alone. twin sister who, like Viola, disguises herself Great humour arises from Comedy’s as a man to seek her twin brother. farcical elements and energies, as well as its ludicrous impossibilities. One such The third plot-strand, taken from Plautus’s impossibility is visual: both sets of twins mythological farce Amphitruo, gives us show up wearing the same outfits. Another Shakespeare’s second pair of twins, is Egeon’s ransom: a thousand marks, the Dromios, who complicate matters equal to £666 in 1594, or about $207,000 hilariously because mistaken identities in modern terms – an incredible sum to erupt constantly between the masters be begged or borrowed in a day. Then and their servants, especially in the Antipholus of Syracuse appears in the next farcical centrepiece, Act III, scene 1, where scene carrying this exact same amount, Antipholus of Ephesus is locked out of his and entrusts it to Dromio to take to their own house, the door pugnaciously and

The plot, these “identical” twins, he also transcends being farce-like, is quick-moving, clear farce by his treatment of the women. In the (to us), and full of improbable surprises and embarrassments. But Shakespeare moves beyond farce in several ways, most effectively by his delineation of characters, which opens up channels for both broader humour and richer themes. The Dromios, while being subject to physical abuse, assert their independence through their wit, humour, and verbal inventiveness, transcending their status, and are seen by audiences as their masters’ equals. Dromio of Syracuse entertains the Syracusan Antipholus with witty verbal gymnastics, such as the extended question-and- answer repartee about Luce, the spherical kitchen wench: “I could find out countries in her.” While both Dromios employ jesting as entertainment, the pair are subtly distinguished by their behaviour: Dromio of Ephesus is more voluble and assertive, like his master. Shakespeare also distinguishes the two Antipholi. The Syracusan visitor is perplexed and wondrous at first at the marvellous things that befall her. She (taken for a man) is met, greeted, and warmly welcomed in to dinner, where surprising and wonderful relationships develop. But as events become more complicated and perplexing, she becomes COSTUME increasingly wary – and, fearful that DESIGN BY JOANNA these experiences stem from malevolent YU forces, she resolves to flee.

THE STORY Egeon, a merchant of Syracuse, has come to Ephesus in search of his daughter. She in turn has spent years searching for her long-lost twin brother, from whom she was separated in infancy during a shipwreck. She has been accompanied in her travels by her attendant, who also lost a twin brother in the same wreck. The two women have dressed as men and adopted their brothers’ names, Antipholus and Dromio, in their search. But Egeon is now in trouble: as a Syracusan, he has incurred a death sentence simply by entering Ephesus, because of recent hostilities between the two communities. His only hope is to raise a substantial ransom – which Solinus, the Duke of Ephesus, gives him a day to accomplish. What Egeon doesn’t know is that Antipholus and Dromio, the very women for whom he has been searching, have also arrived in Ephesus, where they have been advised, for safety’s sake, to conceal their identities. And what none of the Syracusans know is that the two lost twins – still bearing the same names as their Syracusan counterparts – have long been resident in Ephesus. The result is a hectic series of mix-ups and misunderstandings, as the two sets of twins are repeatedly mistaken for each other, until an unexpected reunion brings the long- sundered families together at last.

11 EMPATHY IN EPHESUS BY DAVID PROSSER

In the ancient Roman comedy Menaechmi, finds a clue in the conflict alluded to in the Shakespeare’s main source for The play’s opening scene. What if Ephesus is Comedy of Errors, the visitors from a breakaway city-state: a colony that has Syracuse arrive not in Ephesus but in rebelled against the strict social norms Epidamnus (now the city of Durrës in imposed on it by a repressive neo-Victorian Albania). We can only speculate why Syracuse and has established instead an Shakespeare changed the locale: it open and liberal society that accepts and may simply be that Ephesus – to whose celebrates difference? In this scenario, inhabitants St. Paul wrote the epistle that Ephesus becomes not a sinkhole of vice forms the tenth book of the New Testament – would have been a name more resonant for his audience. As always in Shakespeare, what really matters about a locale is the state of “AS ALWAYS IN SHAKESPEARE, being it might imaginatively represent. In WHAT REALLY MATTERS Menaechmi, the Syracusan slave Messenio describes Epidamnus as a cesspool of ABOUT A LOCALE IS THE drunkenness, deceit and debauchery. In The Comedy of Errors, Antipholus of Syracuse STATE OF BEING IT MIGHT takes a similarly dim view of Ephesus: IMAGINATIVELY REPRESENT” They say this town is full of cozenage: As nimble jugglers that deceive the eye, Dark-working sorcerers that change the mind, Soul-killing witches that deform the body, Disguised cheaters, prating mountebanks, but an enlightened haven of freedom and And many such-like liberties of sin. non-conformity, disdained by more strait- laced Syracusans. For both playwrights, the point is that the The idea of unity (a key theme, as it Syracusans perceive themselves to have happens, of Paul’s epistle to the Ephesians) arrived in surroundings about as salubrious is central to this play, whose familial quests as the Mos Eisley cantina in Star Wars. for reunion evoke our larger yearning But, in Shakespeare’s play at least, this for unity both social and spiritual. This doesn’t accord with what we actually see. production envisages an Ephesus in which On the contrary, the inhabitants of Ephesus that unity is achieved through empathy, conduct themselves in a perfectly civilized acceptance and love – not by suppressing manner, in accordance with the rules both of or subsuming diversity, but by embracing it. law and of fair commerce.

12 FROM THE DIRECTOR

“STAND UP EVERYBODY, THIS IS YOUR LIFE LET ME TAKE U TO ANOTHER WORLD, LET ME TAKE U TONIGHT.” – PRINCE, “SEXUALITY,” 1981

“The true purpose of the theatre is to create Myths, to express life in its immense universal aspect, and from that life to extract images in which we find pleasure in discovering ourselves.” – ANTONIN ARTAUD, THE THEATRE AND ITS DOUBLE, 1938

“It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one’s self through the eyes of others….” – W. E. B. DU BOIS, THE SOULS OF BLACK FOLK, 1903

“BODY AND SPIRIT ARE TWINS: GOD ONLY KNOWS WHICH IS WHICH.” – ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE, 1837–1909

“I thought it was a matter of the spirit, a kind of divine allegory, and that explanations of it were not very important anyway. What was important was the liberty of us all to live as we wished to live, to love however we wanted to love, and to know ourselves, however peculiar, disconcerting or unclassifiable.” – JAN (FORMERLY JAMES) MORRIS, CONUNDRUM, 1974

The world of Ephesus in this production is an homage to the history, insights and accomplishments of transgender and gender-fluid communities. Their stories have inspired me to explore what it might take to establish, in the face of persecution, a community that is fiercely committed to inclusion, self-determination and non-conformity. This opened up other ways for us to consider the idea of “double,” to interpret violence, to discover comedy, to understand family. It has been funny, awkward, uncomfortable, stimulating, confusing, challenging and hilariously goofy. Some things didn’t work; many others did. I have been so privileged to go on this journey with this most generous and brave company of actors and artists. I hope you find as much delight in our world as we have found in creating it. – KEIRA LOUGHRAN, THE COMEDY OF ERRORS, 2018

“NOW, LUCY LOOKS SWEET ’CAUSE HE DRESSES LIKE A QUEEN BUT HE CAN KICK LIKE A MULE, IT’S A REAL MEAN TEAM BUT WE CAN LOVE, OH, WE CAN LOVE.” – DAVID BOWIE, “ALL THE YOUNG DUDES,” 1972

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 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. The Michael Langham Workshop for Classical Direction is sponsored by
