  • Staging Orson Welles
    STAGING ORSON WELLES Matthew Christopher Gretzinger A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2010 Committee: Dr. Jonathan Chambers, Advisor Dr. Stephannie Gearhart Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Scott Magelssen Dr. Cynthia Baron ii ABSTRACT Dr. Jonathan Chambers, Advisor In this study I consider the legacy of Orson Welles as a stage figure puppeted in a collective theatre of memory. The study builds on Jonathan Rosenbaum's observation that Welles remains a "mythical and ideological creature" and a "site for the acting out of various fantasies." Referencing Marvin Carlson's The Haunted Stage and Joseph Roach's Cities of the Dead, I apply their insights to three plays that feature Welles as a pivotal character: Jason Sherman's It's All True, Austin Pendleton's Orson's Shadow, and the Naomi Iizuka-Anne Bogart collaboration, War of the Worlds. My central concern is to consider the ways we remember and stage Welles and, in light of Rosenbaum's insight, to also question the myths and ideologies those stagings act out. A corollary to my interrogation of Welles's stage figure as a site of memory is my conviction that the collective memory of Welles's life and work might be staged more usefully. The plays considered approach Welles from different perspectives. However, all – to varying degrees – assess negative judgments. Welles's legacy has been subject to conflicting interpretations, and the arbitration of his historical and remembered significance is a process with important consequences.

  • Richard Linklater's Julius Caesar – Overlapping Narratives
    Richard Linklater’s Julius Caesar Overlapping narratives How many dictators? ‘I am Orson Welles! And every single one of you stands here as an adjunct to my vision. You want a career in the Mercury Theatre and in everything else I plan to do, then remember one simple rule: I own the store. You don’t like the way I work here? There’s the door.

It becomes more justified when one considers the liberties Welles took with Shakespeare’s play. Welles re-built the play to fit his interpretation of Caesar’s rule as a categorical dictatorship against which Brutus’ flawed resistance was depicted as wholly noble – albeit doomed.

  • Richard Linklater's Julius Caesar – Titles
    Richard Linklater’s Julius Caesar Titles The title Me and Orson Welles may seem a bit obscure if you do not know all that much about Orson Welles – but it certainly raises questions. Who is Orson Welles? Who is ‘Me’? I Activity – The title Conduct a quick brainstorm inspired by that title. What could it be about? In what different ways do you feel the ‘Me’ and ‘Orson Welles’ might become entangled? Christian McKay (‘Orson Welles’) in ‘Me and Orson Welles’. Dir Richard Linklater. Copyright CinemaNX Films One Ltd 2008. Photo: Liam Daniel Below is a brief biography of Welles’ early career: Born in May 1915 Orson Welles experienced most of his childhood in Chicago. He lost his mother to jaundice (a liver disease) when he was just nine and his father when he was 15. His father spent the last years of his life drinking heavily. Welles was educated at the Todd School for Boys and it was there that he first established himself as an uncannily gifted theatre director – despite his tender years. 1930 Welles uses a small portion of the inheritance from his father to fund a trip to Europe. While there, he decides to go on a walking and painting tour of Ireland. He walks into the famous Gate Theatre in Dublin and claims he is an established Broadway (New York’s famous ‘Avenue of Theatres’) performer and bluffs his way into the company. He makes his stage debut at the Gate in 1931, appearing in Jew Sı‚ as the Duke. He is received with great acclaim and reports of his success reach the United States.
