Summer 1976

Dear Lover of Shakespeare’s Works:

Those who truly love Shakespeare in the theatre will be pleased to learn about the CSh A n ­ nual, a scholarly journal devoted to the art of producing Shakespeare for contemporary audi­ ences. Eighteen years of experience performing all the Shakespeare plays in the Mary Rip- pon Theatre leave us with a vivid realization of the extent to which the full appreciation of Shakespeare’s content and craftsmanship is dependent on relating to his work in the context for which it was written—the artistic transaction of theatrical production.

A significant part of Shakespeare’s greatness has been his capacity to speak meaningfully and movingly to successive generations and diverse cultures. On whatever pedestals we would put him, we must certainly maintain a place for him in our contemporary theatres. His work calls for actors and scenic artists, stages and audiences. It also warrants the attention of those whose scholarship can reflect their practice of his own theatrical art and their sharing of his commitment to make scripts come alive in the theatre. To stimulate such at­ tention and to make available to others the fruits of such attention—these are the goals of the CSF Annual.

The A nnual will grow out of each Colorado Shakespeare Festival. Its basic format will consist of three sections. “ Director Perspectives’’ will feature an article by each of the three Festival directors. “ Research Perspectives’’ will report on research for which the Festival served as the source of the data. “Guest Perspectives’* will present one or more articles solicited from people who related directly to the Festival in some specific capacity: designer, actor, audi­ ence member, choreographer, and the like.

The launching of this journal is made possible by a grant from the University of Colorado’s Committee on University Scholarly Publications. Subscribers will be mailed copies as soon as they come off the press; others will have to wait for direct sales at the next summer’s Festi­ val. We urge you to encourage this exciting venture by ordering a subscription now. Simply send your name, winter address (as it will be after December 1), and a three dollar check to: CSF Annual, Department of Theatre and Dance, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado 80309. If it is more convenient you may also order a subscription at the CSF box office during regular hours. In return we promise you fascinating reading, a fine souvenir of the Festival, and an inexpensive means of supporting the ongoing interest in the performance of S akespeare. In the years ahead you may also find yourself in possession of a collector’s item.

Thank you for your interest and support. Sincerely yours,

Martin Cobin E ditor, C SF A n n u a l

RICKY WEISER, the first woman director for the Colorado Shake­ speare Festival with her production of Timon of Athens in 1974, is the director of King John for this summer’s Festival. Mrs. Weiser has been continuously involved with the CSF since its inception in 1958. In addition to directing she has served as As­ sistant Director on eight productions. Beginning in 1961 she became interested in fencing and fighting training necessary to the Festival productions and ultimately became the Fencing Master in 1968. She has been active in the teaching and staging of weaponry for twelve plays over the course of eight seasons. Having also been active on the CSF stage as an actress, Ricky Weiser has played numerous roles, including Gertrude in both the 1958 and 1965 productions of Hamlet, Margaret in two productions of Richard III, and Goneril in Jack Crouch’s King Lear. She declares that her most exciting part was Tamora in Titus Andronicus with her Volumnia in Coriolanus the most challenging. She appeared last summer as the Nurse in Romeo and Juliet. Prior to arriving in Boulder in 1956 Mrs. Weiser directed and continued page 12

Director’s Notes In this Bicentennial year it is difficult to imagine a play about England’s notorious King John without any mention whatever of the Magna Carta. In the England of Elizabeth I, however, a document limiting royal powers and prerogatives was not the most pop­ ular of subjects. To Shakespeare, John was an effec­ tive administrator, a fine military tactician, and a morally reprehensible person who is mortally punished for his misdeeds. He dies forgiven, leaving England confined to its island shores but looking toward a brighter future under his young son, Henry III. We have chosen to present this medieval monarch in all the gothic splendor of his period—1199-1216. This was an age of myth and legend, art and ro­ mance, blood and death. It gave us Robin Hood and
