encoreartsprograms.com 5 From Artistic Director Robert Kelley A Shared Heritage

I’m Irish as hell: Kelly on one side, Shanley on the other. – John Patrick Shanley

I wish I could say the same, but I have a confession to make: I’m only part Irish, maybe a quarter —that’s the Kelley part. The rest of my heritage is spread over many countries. But it’s the Irish part that shaped me, gave me a love of language, and led to my directing a wealth of Irish plays at TheatreWorks. Among my favorites are Da, Hugh Leonard’s Tony Award-winning tribute to his father (1987), Martin McDonagh’s dark Aran Islands comedy The Cripple of Inishmaan (2000), and Frank McGuinness’ post-World War II drama Dolly West’s Kitchen (2005). We’ve celebrated the great Irish playwrights George Bernard Shaw with You Never Can Tell in 1996, and Oscar Wilde with a musical of The Importance of Being Earnest in 2013. Throw in our 1988 production of Romeo and Juliet, set amidst the Protestant-Catholic “troubles” in Northern Ireland, and you begin to get the idea. So imagine my delight seeing an “Irish” play by John Patrick Shanley, one of my favorite American writers, on Broadway in 2014. It pulsed with the deep humanity of his award-winning Doubt (TW 2008) and the raucous cultural insight of his Oscar-winning Moonstruck, and I knew immediately that Outside Mullingar belonged inside TheatreWorks. Bittersweetened with a mix of bickering comedy, family drama, and late-blooming romance, it was done up in a rain-drenched, star-studded production, overflowing with glorious poetic language. I would eventually discover other, more intimate aspects of the play in a small-stage production at San Diego Repertory Theatre, alive with music and charm. Both productions have influenced our own, and I’m especially grateful to San Diego Rep’s director Todd Salovey for discovering a way to move a critical father-son scene from bedroom to living room with style.

Writing the play, Shanley had a seemingly simple agenda: “I wanted to write a love story,” he told The New York Times. But there was more. His father had grown up on a sheep farm in the Irish midlands, and Shanley decided to immortalize it in the play:

The farm had become a place in my imagination where I had stored up so many things. My love for my father was there. Feelings of grief. My romantic hunger, my frustration with this unpoetic world.

That isolated family farm became the verdant canvas of this painting of life, love, determination, and hope.

Shanley once described writers as “wanderers, dreaming.” Perhaps the same could be said of directors, and I admit to dreaming up an Irish heritage for myself that’s played out on our stage for decades. Fortunately that has meant exploring a culture that has produced so many outstanding playwrights, and I can’t help but include America’s John Patrick Shanley among them. Their plays erupt with passion, contentiousness, wit, and imagination. They love language above all else, family before all else, and a good fight…or else. If their plays can be as dark as the Irish weather, Shanley sees a break in the clouds: “Life holds its miracles, good erupting from darkness chief among them.”
