Rightfully so, as delight and Oct 26 – Dec 15, 2019 romance are ever-present in the text. There are love triangles and courts McGuire Proscenium Stage filled with clowns and jubilant musical interludes that keep everyone in Illyria, including the audience, feeling exceedingly merry. But vibrating A Christmas Carol beneath all the wit and gaiety is an undercurrent of grief, loss and Nov 12 – Dec 29, 2019 longing — complex matters of the heart that we all experience as we walk Wurtele Thrust Stage through the world. Noura When we first began talking about the production as a creative team, Jan 11 – Feb 16, 2020 McGuire Proscenium Stage director Tom Quaintance didn’t want to set the play in a specific period. He envisioned an entire ecosystem created from scratch that was firmly Twelfth Night rooted in the text but felt contemporary and not confined to one era Feb 8 – March 22, 2020 or environment. As a result, this broader vision provides space for the Wurtele Thrust Stage audience to see themselves in Olivia’s mourning, Viola’s heartbreak and Orsino’s desire. The Bacchae Feb 29 – April 5, 2020 And who better to convey the emotional ups and downs of this McGuire Proscenium Stage complicated love story than an all-local, powerhouse cast backed by an ingenious creative team? Their commitment to telling Twelfth Night with Emma their whole hearts and selves has been inspiring to watch, and I’m thrilled April 11 – May 31, 2020 for you to be immersed in the wonderful, whimsical world they’ve created Wurtele Thrust Stage together. Destiny of Desire Illyria may be an imaginary land, but what happens there is undeniably May 30 – July 11, 2020 real. It’s a place where we are invited to examine our ideas about identity, McGuire Proscenium Stage disguise, pain, joy and, most of all, love. Cabaret Thank you for joining us, and enjoy the show!

Much of the information about him comes from official documents such as wills, legal forms and court records. There are also contemporary references to him and his writing. While much of the biographical information is sketchy and incomplete, for a person of his class and as the son of a town alderman, quite a lot of information is available. After an eight-year gap where died at age 11, but both daughters Young Shakespeare would have Shakespeare’s activity is not known, were married: Susanna to Dr. John attended the Stratford grammar he appeared in London by 1592 Hall and Judith to Thomas Quiney. school, where he would have and quickly began to make a name learned to read and write not for himself as a prolific playwright. Shakespeare died in Stratford in only English, but also Latin and He stayed in London for about 1616 on April 23, which is thought some Greek. In 1582, at age 20 years, becoming increasingly to be his birthday. He is buried 18, Shakespeare married Anne successful in his work as an actor, in the parish church, where his Hathaway, and the couple would writer and shareholder in his acting grave can be seen to this day.

His son Hamnet 154 sonnets. ABOUT TWELFTH NIGHT Twelfth Night was written sometime between 1600 and 1602 during Shakespeare’s mature period, and it was performed at the Middle Temple in London in February 1602. Written slightly after As You Like It, the play marks the pinnacle of Shakespeare’s great comedies. The play’s source is the 1531 Italian play GI’Ingannati or The Deceived Ones. Shakespeare likely knew of it from other plays that borrowed its mistaken twins plot. The subplot involving Malvolio is Shakespeare’s invention. Twelfth Night was first published in the First Folio in 1623. Twelfth Night has previously been produced at the Guthrie in 1968 (Robert Lanchester, director), 1984 (Liviu Ciulei, director) and 2001 (Joe Dowling, director). The Guthrie has also presented two all-male, British productions of Twelfth Night: Mark Rylance played Olivia in an “original practices” production by Shakespeare’s Globe in 2003 and Propeller produced Twelfth Night in repertory with The Taming of the Shrew in 2013. 5 \ GUTHRIE THEATER THE DIRECTOR Tom Quaintance Tom Quaintance is the producing artistic director of Virginia Stage Company, where he has directed Pride and Prejudice, The Secret Garden and Matilda the Musical.

  • What Size Viola?
    From Violins and Violinists December 1943 What Size Viola? VIOLA EXPERIMENTA By Robert Dolejsi When the Violin finally reached her destiny in the ideal instrument that knows no peer today, and was recognized as the stringed mistress of the soprano family, it fell to the unfortunate lot of that hapless maiden Viola to become the subject of avid experimentation. In their search for an instrument of identical design and superb characteristics, makers, luthiers, artisans and, (indirectly through suggestion) composers and players, conducted intense experiments to find a medium of deeper register that would represent the alto and tenor voice and thus complete the quartet of strings. There is ample ground in all instrumental bibliography to support the theory that experimentation was one of the chief causes for the numerous sizes in fiddles that marked instrument making in the viola category from the 17th century onward. That generic English term Viol designated the instrument that succeeded the medieval fiddle. In literature at least, though not in actual invention, it preceded the violin family; for it must be emphasized that contrary to general conception, the viol was more the precursor and not the predecessor or direct ancestor of the violin. This distinction in progenitorship belongs to that branch of the instrumental tree represented by the rebec and Iyra—and all three branches were growing and developing simultaneously side by side. The experimental premise had already been laid in the highly variegated family of viols. Oddly enough, and paradoxically too, it appears that the viola or tenor ( the names were interchangeable during a period when great confusion in sizes and types existed ), was the first of the viol family to adopt changes in tuning and string number.

SYNOPSIS This thesis consists of an Introduction, followed by Part I (chapters 1-2) in which nineteenth- century criticism of the play is discussed, particular attention being paid to Helen Faucit's essay on Imogen, and its relationship to her playing of the role. In Part II the stags-history of Oymbcline in London is traced from 1785 to Irving's Lyceum production of 1896. Directions from promptbooks used by G-.P. Cooke, W.C. Macready, Helen Eaucit, and Samuel ±helps are transcribed and discussed, and in the last chapter the influence of Bernard Shaw on Ellen Terry's Imogen is considered in the light of their correspondence and the actress's rehearsal copies of the play. There are three appendices: a list of performances; transcriptions of two newspaper reviews (from 1843 and 1864) and one private diary (Gordon Crosse's notes on the Lyceum Gymbeline); and discussion of one of the promptbooks prepared for Charles Kean's projected production.

  • Twelfth Night'
    THE PRINCIPLE OF RECOMPENSE IN 'TWELFTH NIGHT' Like Shakespeare's other romantic comedies. Twelfth Night moves from personal frustration and social disorder to individual fulfilment and social harmony by means of what Leo Salingar has shown to be the traditional comic combination of beneficent fortune and human intrigue.* This basic pattern, of course, takes a radically different form in each play. In comparison with many of the comedies. Twelfth Night begins with remarkably little conflict- The opening scenes introduce no villain bent on dissension and destruction, nor do they reveal disruptive antagonism between parents and children or between love and law. In contrast to the passion atid anger of the first scene of J1 Midsummer Night's Dream., tbe restless melancholy that pervades the beginning of The Merchant of Venice, or the brutality and tyranny that precipitate the action in As You Like It, the dominant note of Orsino's court and of Olivia's household is static self-containment. To be sure, both Orsino and Olivia sincerely profess great unhappiness, but, as many critics have noted, a strain of complacent self-absorption dilutes tbe poignancy of Orsino's love-melancboly and of Olivia's grief- Orsino's concentration on his own emotions cuts him off from real personal relationships as effectively as does Olivia's withdrawal or Sir Toby's careless hedonism. The self-absorptioti of the native IUyrians and Viola's involun- tary exile present a spectacle of isolation rather than confrontation, not so much a society in disorder as a series of discrete individuals without tbe interconnexions that constitute a society.

  • Shakespeare and Paul in Illyria
    6 Shakespeare and Paul in Illyria In his lectures on Twelfth Night Emrys Jones insisted that ‘the whole play drives toward the moment of the twins’ reunion’. Indeed, reunion – better yet, resurrection – is (to use Molly Mahood’s choice words) the principal ‘governing idea’ of the play. I will show that there is a link between reunion-resurrection, Candlemas, and William Shakespeare’s own real-life drama that has been overlooked by his commentators and is key to appreciat- ing his play. Twelfth Night begins with Viola convinced that her brother, Sebastian, is dead; with practically her first breath she tells us ‘My brother he is in Elysium’ (1.1.4). So what we will be confronted with in 5.1 is not merely a family reunion but something of a resur- rection. We must bear this in mind when we consider the personal significance for William Shakespeare of his play’s performance on Candlemas. Though we know Sebastian is alive, to Viola he is so convincingly dead that she has turned herself into his image. When she looks into her mirror she sees not herself but Sebastian. I my brother know Yet living in my glass; even such and so In favour was my brother, and he went Still in this fashion, colour, ornament, For him I imitate. (3.4.376–80, my emphasis) This echoes Constance’s (and Shakespeare’s) lament for a lost son in King John: ‘Grief fills the room up of my absent child … Puts on his pretty looks … Stuffs out his vacant garments’ (3.4.93–8, my emphasis).
