PROGRAM NOTES

FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

Sitting in a small theatre off Washington Square Park in 2016, listening to rock and watching the actors prepare for a performance of Kate Hamill’s , I saw that Jane Austen could be refreshed in an exciting and fun way, both representing the courtly manners of the time and utilizing theatricality that spanned centuries and spoofed style. Her text displayed reverence to the source material, and was delightfully cheeky. The cast played characters of both genders, danced like they were at a rave, and wheeled furniture around onstage in a whirlwind of movement. And yet I was moved when Austen wanted me to be. This blending of style and substance was inspiring. And Kate Hamill was in the play as well! A gifted actress and one of America’s most produced playwrights - it became clear that she was an important artist that I was eager to share with Northlight’s audience.

I met with her days later and we talked about what might be right for our Northlight audience. We had produced and Sense and Sensibility as well as the Austen-inspired Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley and I knew our audience had an appetite for Austen. But it felt like we should explore the less traveled works that might have a contemporary theme or element that resonated with a modern audience. We came upon Mansfield Park.

In Mansfield Park, the underpinning of the estate’s wealth is nefarious and ill-gotten, and the ethics of its business impact the inhabitants in various ways. At the birth of the industrial revolution, social justice began to insert itself into all strata of society, and Austen was well aware of the There’s trueness within in a neighborhood of possibilities. moral imperatives the movement demanded. It makes Mansfield Park A distinct makeup of underlying values and beliefs. A respect feel weightier and more consequential than its siblings, and for us it was for openness. An expression of kindness. A welcoming dynamic an exciting opportunity to work with Kate and Director Stuart Carden that allows us to live to the fullest, to explore and connect in to create a new version of a novel by one of your favorite authors, Jane more thorough and thoughtful ways. Austen. Experience retirement living at Three Crowns Park in one of America’s best neighborhoods.

FROM PLAYWRIGHT KATE HAMILL What does it cost our heroine Fanny Price, to learn the rules of Mansfield Park? Photo by Ashley Garrett. What does it cost her to never be able to say “no”: to always be perfect, to never ruffle feathers, to stifle her real opinions? What price is she expected to pay to give her impoverished family their “only chance?” And what really pays for that big, cold, house – “the finest in the county”: Mansfield Kate Hamill (left) with the cast of Primary Park itself? What toll do its Stages’ 2017 Production of PRIDE AND inhabitants pay? PREJUDICE - photo by James Leynse.

Sometimes, in the midst of enjoying a classic – and I love a BBC special as much as anyone – we forget that someone is paying for all that fine clothing. Something funded those glittering balls, that delicate china, those intricate fabrics. That wealth comes from somewhere. And when we reexamine the classics, I believe it’s vitally important for us to attempt to open our eyes and minds, to peer behind the accepted lens, to look at old stories from different angles.

Why Mansfield Park? There is also a bright element of feminist fairy tale here: Fanny is a clever, brave, resilient woman who survives against all odds. But this is not the Mansfield Park is my third or fourth Austen adaptation for the stage, sanitized fairy tale of modern-day telling. Instead, Mansfield Park harkens depending on how you count.* I began with Sense and Sensibility, with the back to the more complicated, messy origins of the genre, in which our intent of adapting all of Jane Austen’s novels in the same order that she heroine must identify and resist real violence, temptation, and corruption. wrote them. I did this in the hope that as Austen grew as an artist, so would Along the way, we see that Fanny Price – dismissed by so many characters I. Austen’s novels originally called to me because I am deeply invested in in the play – has strength beyond reckoning. attempting to create new female-centered, socially relevant classics that are specifically theatrical; pieces that bring fresh viewpoints to these iconic Audience members familiar with the novel may find some surprises stories, but can also hopefully stand on their own as new plays; that may be in this play. But a mission to take on all of the Austens in the hopes of interesting BOTH to fans of the novels (I certainly count myself as one) and creating new, feminist, female-centered classics is not sufficient reason for to those who have no knowledge of the original; that are not cut-and-paste adapting Mansfield Park, specifically. I think Mansfield Park is worth taking adaptations – or attempts to create an imitation of the original text – but on because it is so challenging; because there is something interesting retellings. and surprising and vital to find here. Something new to see, even if it’s not always what we expected. I try to think of my adaptations as a collaboration between myself and the original author – who sometimes, as with Jane, happens to no longer I love the classics, deeply and truly. That’s why I believe we can stretch be with us. That means I have to bring a strong point of view to each them, play with them, explore them; we needn’t bury them in some musty classic, a central question I’m interested in asking - and bring that to the grave, however reverently it’s tended. These stories can live. They can play. The play Sense and Sensibility, for me, was about how we react breathe. And hopefully, they can grow. to social pressures; do we follow society’s rules or break them? and the consequences people (particularly women, and particularly impoverished I’ve been honored to join with so many talented professionals working on women) suffer for each choice.

JANE AUSTEN - AN ABOLITIONIST? Mr. & Mrs. Ward Mansfield Park is a deeply complicated novel.
