Candide

SHAKESPEARE COMPANY BEGINS JANUARY 26

presents

The National ’s production of by Gregory Burke directed by “It’s essential that you January 26–February 6, 2011 see Black Watch.” Sidney Harman Hall New York Observer

Hurtling from a pool room in Scotland to an armored wagon in Iraq, Black Watch is based on interviews conducted by Gregory Burke with former soldiers who served in Iraq. Viewed through the eyes of those on the ground, Black Watch reveals what it means to be part of the legendary Scottish regiment, what it means to be part of the war on terror and what it means to make the journey home again. John Tiffany’s production from the National Theatre of Scotland makes powerful and inventive use of movement and music to create a visceral, complex and urgent piece of theatre.

This production of Black Watch launches its U.S. tour at the Shakespeare Theatre Company, having played to universal acclaim in Australia, New Zealand, London, Toronto, Los Angeles, New York, and more.

Runtime is 1 hour 50 minutes long with no intermission. Black Watch contains very strong language, loud explosions and strobe lighting. Recommended for audiences 13 years and older.

Special notice for stage seating: Due to the highly physical nature of the performance, there will be absolutely no late seating for these seat locations. If you need to leave during the show you must be escorted by an usher and will not be allowed to re-enter the show. Tickets on sale now! Call 202.547.1122 or visit ShakespeareTheatre.org today!

Cymbeline marks the return of director Rebecca Bayla Taichman, whose recent Twelfth Night was “gorgeously romantic… as brand new as a first kiss” The( Downtowner), and whose The Taming of the Shrew found “a satisfying quantity of heart in a play that can be made to seem The Taming of the Shrew merely playful” (Washington City Paper). The Shakespeare Theatre Company premiere of Cymbeline follows Imogen on her search for reconciliation against the backdrop of a colorful and magical journey. Forbidden love, mistaken identities, banishment and a magic potion—Shakespeare combines multiple styles in this endlessly inventive fairy tale.

Voltaire

Voltaire was born François-Marie Arouet in Paris in 1694, the youngest child of François Arouet, a minor treasury official, and Marie Marguerite d’Aumart. Following a proper Jesuit education, his father sent him to study law. But the younger Arouet was determined to become a writer and soon developed a following of admirers of his audacious wit. Again father tried to steer son toward respectable employment, so François-Marie moved to the as a secretary for the French ambassador. His father squashed an attempted elopement there and recalled François-Marie to Paris.

Arouet was welcomed into Parisian literary society, but his propensity for offending those in power quickly led to trouble. Within a year his satirical poem about the Prince Regent led to a brief exile. By the time his punishment ended, his name had been attributed to enough politically satirical works that he served a sentence in the Bastille for pieces he had not written. Upon his release, he rearranged the letters in his name “Arouet the younger” to create his famous nom de plume: Voltaire.

Known already as a poet, essayist, historian and satirist, the newly minted Voltaire established his reputation as playwright with the 1718 debut of Oedipe. He also began work on an epic poem praising France’s King Henri IV for ending civil war and for religious tolerance. Another arrest, this time for offending a young aristocrat from a powerful family, led to a two-year exile to England in 1726.

In England, Voltaire encountered the works of Isaac Newton and John Locke, whose writings would influence his work in science and philosophy. Voltaire also began Letters Concerning the English Nation, a collection of his views on the British political structure, literature and religion. Voltaire’s preference of England’s constitutional monarchy over the French system of government caused such uproar that he again fled Paris for his mistress’ home in Cirey. In this haven, Voltaire amassed a library of more than 20,000 volumes and continued to write extensively. When his mistress died in 1749, Voltaire spent time at the court of Frederick II of Prussia, whom he considered the ideal enlightened monarch. But he could not resist a literary quarrel and enraged the king by publishing a satirical pamphlet.

Voltaire’s most famous work was inspired by the devastating Lisbon earthquake of 1755— his short satirical masterpiece Candide, or Optimism (1759), which showed his growing dissatisfaction with Leibniz’s philosophy of Optimism. The philosophy’s main tenet is that everything is for the best because God is benevolent.

Voltaire’s youthful dissatisfaction with the justice system returned with a vengeance. He spent his final years as champion for those he felt unfairly punished, especially in cases of religious persecution. By his death in 1778, Voltaire’s criticisms of European civilization and organized religion had angered so many people that he was denied Christian burial. But by the time of the French Revolution, he was seen as a pioneer of the cause and his remains were reburied with great ceremony in the Panthéon.

Affiliated Artists

For several years, the Shakespeare Theatre Company has referred to a number of its recurring actors as Company Members. These are artists to whom the theatre has made a long-term commitment because of the depth and range of their talent, and who have come to consider STC as an artistic home.

In addition to actors, there are also directors and designers to whom STC is similarly committed. These artists are also crucial to the production process, and the theatre wants to recognize their dedication to the work of STC. STC has widened its notion of “company” by crediting a select group of actors, directors and designers as Affiliated Artists.

This Affiliated Artists program renews STC’s commitment to those actors who have been the cornerstone of the theatre’s work for years, while also formally acknowledging the theatre’s relationship with other artists whose work has contributed immeasurably to the excellence of STC’s productions. The theatre is incredibly grateful to these Affiliated Artists and looks forward to continuing to produce the finest classical theatre in America with them.
