We all want to be free. But finding true freedom within our communities, within our families and within ourselves is no easy task. Nor is it easy to reconcile our own freedom with the political, religious and cultural freedoms of others. Happily, the conflict created by our search for freedom makes for great theatre... Shakespeare’s The Tempest, in which I’m delighted to direct Martha Henry, is a play about the yearning to be released from

CLASSICCLASSI FILMS imprisonment, as revenge and forgiveness vie OscarWildeCinema.com TM for the upper hand in Prospero’s heart. Erin Shields’s exciting new interpretation of Milton’s Paradise Lost takes an ultra- contemporary look at humanity’s age-old desire for free will – and the consequences of acting on it. I’m very proud that we have the internationally renowned Robert Lepage with us directing Shakespeare’s Coriolanus, a play about early Roman democracy. It is as important to understanding the current state of our democratic institutions as is Shakespeare’s play about the end of the Roman Republic, Julius Caesar. Recent events have underlined the need for the iconic story To Kill a Mockingbird to be told, as a powerful reminder that there can be no freedom without justice. Freedom is no less central to our two musicals: in The Music Man, freedom of expression through the arts brings joy and self-discovery into the hearts of young people, while the raucous fun of The Rocky Horror Show celebrates the joy of simply being oneself, without judgment. Sometimes freedom comes in finding our other half, as in Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors or ’s brilliant . Other times our families make our own individual dreams elusive, as in Eugene O’Neill’s great play Long Day’s Journey Into Night or Jordi Mand’s engrossing new work about three famous literary sisters, Brontë: The World Without. Finally, I’m thrilled to direct John Murrell’s new translation of Eduardo De Filippo’s comic masterpiece Napoli Milionaria!, in which a family faces the greatest threat to our freedom – our CINEPLEX EVENTS desire for money. The extraordinarily talented 2018 company is eager to bring these stories to OPERA | DANCE | STAGE | GALLERY | CLASSIC FILMS vibrant life for you.

So much of Victorian England was influenced by a strict moral code AFTER championed in many instances by radical feminists who were influential in having the Labouchere Amendment, among THE FALL other things, passed in 1885 – the very amendment that ensnared Oscar Wilde BY LEZLIE WADE and forced him into two years’ hard labour at Reading Gaol.

Perhaps he was right when he so he penned this play. Already the subject famously penned the phrase “The public is of much speculation over his relationship wonderfully tolerant. It forgives everything with Lord Alfred Douglas, and dangerously except genius.” But the truth is that Oscar, close to having his homosexuality who had represented something better revealed, Oscar must have felt that it in man through his love of art, was now was only a matter of time before his wife, disgraced.

OSCAR WILDE

The son of a surgeon, Sir William Wilde, and his wife, Jane, a poet and Irish nationalist, Oscar Fingal O’Flahertie Wills Wilde was born in on October 16, 1854. Tutored at home in early childhood, he attended the Portora Royal School in Enniskillen from 1864 to 1871, before embarking on studies at Trinity College, Dublin, and Magdalen College, Oxford, where he distinguished himself both by his academic brilliance and his flamboyance of manner and dress. Influenced by the ideas of essayist and critic Walter Pater, Wilde became a leading figure in the Aesthetic Movement, which denied the moral and political significance of art in favour of the doctrine of “art for art’s sake.” He lectured on the subject in a celebrated tour of Canada and the United States. To support his wife and two children, he worked as a journalist, becoming editor of The Woman’s World. PORTRAIT OF OSCAR WILDE, NEW YORK, 1882 Meanwhile, he produced a variety of prose works, ranging from the fairy tale The Happy Prince (1888) to the controversial “decadent” novel The Picture of Dorian was his relationship with the Marquess’s Gray (1891). His first successful play, Lady son, Lord Alfred Douglas. Wilde was Windermere’s Fan, was produced in 1892, convicted and sentenced to two years’ beginning a brief but brilliant theatrical hard labour.

THE SECOND TRACK In 2018, with the permission of Canadian Actors’ Equity Association, 13 members of our acting company are devoting part of their season’s work to a program of artistic exploration known as the “Second Track.” This program is conducted under the auspices of the Laboratory, the Stratford Festival’s research and development initiative.

THE BIRMINGHAM CONSERVATORY FOR CLASSICAL THEATRE Stephen Ouimette leads this intensive professional training program that nurtures talented young actors for a future in classical theatre. Selected by audition, participants are usually graduates of an accredited theatre training program who have at least two years’ professional experience. Upon completion of the program – which includes, among other activities, classes in voice, movement and text with Festival coaches and distinguished guest instructors – participants are offered places in the following season’s acting company. Twenty-seven members of this season’s company are past participants. The Birmingham Conservatory for Classical Theatre is made possible by the support of the Birmingham family, the Stratford Festival Endowment Foundation and the Department of Canadian Heritage. The 2018 in-season work of Conservatory participants is supported by the Marilyn & Charles Baillie Fund, by the Chicago Associates of the Stratford Festival and by John & Therese Gardner.
