3 A message from the Artistic Director

2001 Season - Love's Labour's Lost, Othello, Coriolanus

This summer we present three plays that demonstrate the wide range of Shakespeare's imagination and skill. Perhaps one of his first plays, Love's Labour's Lost gives us a glimpse of the youthful Shakespeare: energetic, romantic and bursting with poetry. Othello, written around the same time as all of the great tragedies, shows us Shakespeare in his prime: with language that is full-blooded, action that is lean and efficient, and characters that are CALVIN MACLEAN unforgettable.

II OTHELLO DIRECTOR'S NOTES

Othello differs from Shakespeare's other great tragedies in two important ways.

Hamlet, Macbeth and King Lear, for example, are plays about princes, kings, queens and great lords who are caught up in the sweeping themes of revenge, arrogance, ambition and murder. Othello is a domestic play. Though many of its characters are of noble stock, no kingdoms are at stake. This is a play about marriage, suspicion, jealousy and human fallibility. It is a play about good and evil. But unlike the other tragedies where forces of evil permeate the world, Othello shows us a life of potential happiness, success and prosperity that is destroyed by one evil man, Iago. But even he is seen by the world as "honest." He can charm and manipulate anyone he chooses. It is a plaJ that brilliantly explores the devastating cost of hum~n weaknesses.

Secondly, whereas the other tragedies span many months, even years, and leap from locale to locale, Othello is dense, swift and com­ pact. We begin in the rich world of Venice. There reason and good judge­ ment can and do prevent bloodshed. When the play moves to the military out- I post of Cyprus, reason has no chance. The soldiers' world breeds violence. It is a violence all the more terrible because it is so swift. There is no time to tpink, to reason and seek good judgement. Here Iago's treachery is made possible by the inevitable speed of Shakespeare's time. It feels as if the events take no more than a day and a half to unfold. We are left with the feel­ ing that, with time for a breath of reason, the pitiful end that innocence and honor must suffer might have been avoided.

T( CORIOLANUS DIRECTOR'S NOTES

For over a thousand years, Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor ofa "triumph" - a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeteers and musicians and strange animals from the con­ quered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conqueror rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children robed in white stood with him in the chariot or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden crown and whispering in his ear a warning - that all glory is fleeting. (From the film Patton)

Coriolanus is a highly charged, conflict-driven drama with few moments of respite from unrest. The play begins with a riot, ends with a riot and, in between, is filled with physical, psychological and moral con­ flict. Shakespeare set most of his play in the tumultuous context of politics and war, creating a dynamic, dan­ gerous environment in which the story of CORIOLANUS unfolds. Into this unstable world Shakespeare drops his leading character Caius Martius Coriolanus, who is as complex and troubled as the society he inhab­ its. The intermingling of these elements-the turbulent Roman society and the pugilistic Caius Martius- is volatile, igniting fierce conflict and crackling argument. It is largely from the fractious nature of Caius Martius that the play derives its shape, its tense energy, and its tone of conflict and combativeness. Martius is, after all, a warrior, a man of action whose personality has been tempered in the heat of battle. He is held in high esteem for his achievements as a military leader, prepared to fight to his death for the honor of his country. Caius Martius fulfills a necessary function for the upper class of Rome as protector of their values and is therefore revered by them for his service. All places yields to him ere he sits down, And the nobility ofRome are his. The senators and patricians love him too. At the same time, however, his reputation for arrogance and overweening pride is notorious. And his relationship to the plebeians- the lower class "citizens" of Rome- is openly hostile and combative. You common cry of curs, whose breath I hate As reek o 'the rotten fens, whose loves I prize As the dead carcasses of unburied men That do corrupt my air. .. In his attitude towards the plebeians Martius reveals a darkness in his soul that is troubling and distaste­ ful. His dislike of the citizenry is more than a mere disdain for the lower classes; it is a hatred that rises up from the recesses of his psyche and strikes out in irrational and excessive ways. It is toxic; it is destructive. What is the source of this tragic darkness that will lead him to his demise? Perhaps the answer can be traced to the complex and deeply disturbing relationship between Martius and his mother, Volurnnia. From the time Martius was a little boy, Volurnnia prepared him to become her ideal of the patrician warrior. When yet he was but tender-bodied, and the only son of my womb... L considering how honor would become such a person ... was pleased to let him seek danger where he was like to find fame. To a cruel war I sent him, from whence he returned, his brows bound with oak. I tell thee, daugh­ ter, I sprang not more in joy at first hearing he was a man-child, than now in first seeing he had proved himself a man. Volurnnia prepared him well for the crush of battle where sensitivity and compassion are useless, but did little to aid him in developing skills for most other avenues of life where sensitivity and compassion are nec­ essary. She taught him to be proud and arrogant and to detest the "commonality." Martius later recalls how she ... was wont To call them woollen vassals, things created To buy and sell with groats, to show bare heads In congregations, to yawn ... Volurnnia succeeded in making Martius a superb warrior but failed to mold him into a politician. She did nothing to nurture in her son the qualities he would need to function in a civil, diverse society. When final­ ly called upon to move from military life to the senate, Martius simply could not change. He was intransigent, ..... not moving From th 'casque to th 'cushion, but commanding peace Even with the same austerity and garb As he controll 'd the war. .. The story of Caius Martius Coriolanus is a sadly disturbing one with stirring resonances and parallels for us today. Finally, little has changed. Issues of class distinction and racial inequalities still polarize our soci­ eties. War among nations has only become more brutal and destructive. And parents still try to live vicari­ ously through their children, wasting not only their children's lives, but also their own. One fire drives out one fire; one nail, one nail; Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail.
