John Updike wrote his novel Gertrude and Claudius in 2000, as a prequel to Hamlet, Shakespeare's great tragedy. In Hamlet, the ghost of Hamlet's Father appears and reveals to his son that he was killed by his own brother, Claudius, who was committing an adulterous affair with Hamlet's Mother, Gertrude. What unfolds is one of the greatest dramas in world literature, a tale of Hamlet's revenge, culminating with the deaths of Hamlet, Gertrude and Claudius. Updike offers a vision of what prompted Gertrude and Claudius to fall in love and begin their illicit relationship, an act both knew could result in their deaths. In the novel, we see young Gertrude and what led to her marriage to Amleth, as well as the backstories of Polonius, Hamlet and Yorick — all fated to forever alter the lives of Gertrude and Claudius. The challenge in adapting Updike's story is seeing it through a theatrical lens. What works beautifully on the page needs to take on its own vivid life on the stage. While being faithful to Updike's vision, the play translates the literary into the dramatic. In doing so, we hope Updike's revelation of the passions within the kingdom of Elsinore find a new audience. —Mark St. Germain 2 CAST ELIJAH ALEXANDER (Claudius) BSC: The Inconstant Lovers.

WORLD PREMIERE FROM BSC'S MUSICAL THEATRE LAB Music and Lyrics by NIKO TSAKALAKOS Book and Lyrics by PETER SINN NACHTRIEB Directed by STEPHEN BRACKETT AUGUST 9–31

Boulders, buildings and the occasional bartender are being swallowed into the ground due to fracking. And that’s only the beginning… From the creator of Pool Boy comes Fall Springs, an irreverent, funny and relevant new musical. The town of Fall Springs is cash-strapped but sits directly on top of America’s largest reserve of cosmetic essential oils. It has big dreams but at what cost? With new fracking techniques being recklessly implemented, the ground beneath Fall Springs is crumbling. “The show is exhilarating, refreshing, hilarious and moving all at once.” –Ars Nova Sponsored in part by Anne and Larry Frisman & Suzan Grandt and Stanley Kaplan 12
