As the world around us becomes increasingly frenetic And then there is Clare Boothe Luce’s The and unreliable, I believe The Shaw must shout aloud that Women, a gleeful comedy of manners where theatre can bring context and clarity to the madness in ways jungle-red nails prevail — in direct contrast that are thought-provoking, heartfelt and deeply entertaining. to Linda Griffith’s Age of Arousal, in which women find love and liberation through To this end, our playbill reflects Bernard Shaw’s belief that the unlikely means of a typewriter. Add great ideas, struggles and relationships can all be revealed J.M. Barrie’s surprising real-time tale, Half through humour.

AN IDEAL HUSBAND By Oscar Wilde
“Scandals used to lend charm to a man — now they crush him.”
When a husband behaves badly, should a wife always stand by her man? The quest for power and ambition finally catches up with a much-admired politician one night at an elegant party, when a past misdeed is revealed by a beautiful stranger. The options are clear — public scandal or the loss of his trusting wife — but how to choose? Wilde’s play about infidelity and life in the political arena remains witty and utterly relevant more than a century after it was first performed in 1895.
“My favourite Wilde play — where virtually every character is revelaed to be not at
all what they seem. A delicious puzzle to unravel for actors and audience alike.”JM

THE WOMEN By Clare Boothe Luce
“I don’t ask any man to understand me. How could he? I’m a woman.”
Welcome to a secret society — the world of women. A Manhattan socialite finds out her husband is cheating on her and her girlfriends are no help at all. With manicured claws, these women are fighting to maintain their status while scheming to leave, steal or win back their own husbands. This classic play captures a world that only half the population every really gets to see. A revealing look into the lives of the ladies who lunch that is clever, cut-throat and full of outrageous humour.
“A play that takes place in women’s boudoirs, salons, bubble baths and powder rooms — information for the men in the audience, confirmation for the women and a true celebration of the extraordinary actresses
in the company.”JM

THE DOCTOR’S DILEMMA By Bernard Shaw
“Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.”
A doctor who has discovered a lifesaving cure must make an impossible decision. Who should he treat: a kindly colleague who serves the poor, or an extremely talented but unscrupulous young artist, who also happens to have a beautiful young wife? When there’s only room for one more, who can he afford to save? Shaw’s comic exploration of the medical establishment and the value of art.
“As is so often the case with Bernard Shaw, the ethical question
he rolls out in this piece is alarmingly timeless.”JM

THE CHERRY ORCHARD By Anton Chekhov, Adapted by Tom Murphy
“Calamities are happening and I do not even know what I should be thinking.”
An aristocratic family’s way of life seems to be disappearing, and with it, their beloved cherry orchard. On the verge of financial collapse, will they finally make the decision to sell their land to make way for holiday cottages? Or will they remain in blissful denial of the unstoppable nature of progress? This adaptation of Chekhov’s seriously comic final play, by one of Ireland’s leading contemporary playwrights, maintains all the power of this Russian classic, with an Irish twist.
“I have always thought the Russian and Irish temperaments were alike. We are thrilled to welcome Dublin director Jason Byrne to the Festival
to continue the Irish take on this endlessly human play.”JM

JOHN BULL’S OTHER ISLAND By Bernard Shaw
“When an Englishman is sentimental he behaves very much as an Irishman does when he is drunk.”
Friends and business partners Broadbent and Doyle travel to a small town in Ireland with a business deal in mind. The Englishman, Broadbent, falls in love with everything about the place, including Nora Reilly, Doyle’s old flame. Doyle, the hometown boy, only sees a country trapped in its past. Shaw’s unromantic look at the romance of Ireland. A play so funny that at a royal command performance, Kind Edward VII laughed so hard he broke his chair!
“Is it just because I am Irish that I so love watching Bernard Shaw skewer the
English and their constant misunderstanding of their neighbouring colony?!”JM

AGE OF AROUSAL By Linda Griffiths
“Type, damn you. Type! It’s the way to liberty!”
It’s 1885, and in London there are half a million more women than men. Mary, an ex-suffragette, has opened a secretarial school for women to teach liberation through typing. When three sisters sign up, unexpected passions and secret desires are unleashed as they each learn what being a New Woman can truly mean. A contemporary look at our mandate by an award-winning writer.
“Linda Griffiths has been a fixture on the Canadian theatre scene, celebrated for her theatrical re-imaginings of women as diverse as Wallis Simpson and Margaret Trudeau. Who better then to tackle the needs and desires of those
known as the ‘New Women’?”JM (Strong sexual content)

HARVEY By Mary Chase
“I wrestled with reality for forty years, and I am happy to state that I finally won out over it.”
Everyone wants to meet Elwood Dowd and his friend Harvey. When they enter a room, strangers soon become friends and people want to share a drink with them. But Harvey is a six-foot invisible rabbit and Elwood’s sister wants him gone. The question is — does the world need another “normal” chap, or more Harveys? A new look at this Pulitzer Prize-winning play, made famous by Jimmy Stewart’s portrayal of the loveable Elwood Dowd in the 1950 film.
“Joe Ziegler has given us beautiful, nuanced productions of shows such as The Heiress and Ah, Wilderness! — he is the perfect choice then, to deliver this treasured piece of Americana which has so many delightful
surprises up its sleeve.”JM

ONE TOUCH OF VENUS Music by Kurt Weill, Lyrics by Ogden Nash Book by Ogden Nash and S.J. Perelman
“Some girls have a touch of Venus, which can help a girl a lot. Why describe a touch of Venus? You either have it or have not.”
The ancient goddess of love visits Manhattan in this musical fantasy. A modern art collector brings a statue of Venus to town. Through the magic of a ring, Venus comes to life, falls for a barber named Hatch and chases him all over New York. But will this wild woman allow herself to be tamed? A comic caper from the pen of the Marx Brothers’ writer S.J. Perelman and New Yorker poet Ogden Nash, with classic Weill songs like “Speak Low” and “I’m A Stranger Here Myself.”
“Since the huge success of Happy End here in ’03 and ’05, we have been eager to bring back the glorious music of Kurt Weill — this time in a deliriously madcap
mood with a brand new set of American collaborators.” JM

HALFAN HOUR Lunchtime By J.M. Barrie
“Those who risk all and lose have to face the consequences.”
How much can a life change in half an hour? One night, just before a dinner party, Lilian Garson makes an escape from her confining husband. But then her best-laid plans go horribly awry — can she quickly slip back into her old life in time for dinner at eight? A compelling story of a woman who’s only got half an hour to change her life.
“Celebrated for his full-length plays, J.M. Barrie was also a master of the short form, and this is one of his finest, an extraordinarily tense and intense story
that plays out in the real time of its title.”JM

SERIOUS MONEY By Caryl Churchill
“Greed is all right. Greed is healthy. You can be greedy and still feel good about yourself.”
The London Stock Market in the 1980s was the new Wild West — a land of corporate raiders and stock traders created by a financial boom that seemed to have no end. This no-holds barred look at corporate greed and financial excess is Caryl Churchill at her most provocative and penetrating. And all in rhyming verse!
“The Studio Theatre is home for the second year to programming that takes us outside the mandate with writers who have continued, à la Shaw, to provoke, challenge and question the establishments that run our lives. With her brilliant take-no-prisoners attitude, Caryl Churchill is undoubtedly one of our foremost
‘Contemporary Shavians’.”JM (Strong language)
