BAM’s Director of Production Neil Kutner and Production Supervisor Elizabeth Moreau focus specifically on this season’s production of King Lear, featuring Frank Langella. This class is for ages 18 and up. Three-time Tony Award-winning, Oscar-nominated Broadway and film star Frank Langella plays the title role in a new production of William Shakespeare’s King Lear from Chichester Festival Theatre. Directed by Angus Jackson with set design by Robert Innes Hopkins, the production comes to the BAM Harvey Theater for a month-long, US premiere engagement following a month of performances at Chichester’s Minerva Theatre from October 31 to November 30. Langella is joined by Sebastian Armesto (Edgar), Max Bennett (Edmund), Denis Conway (Gloucester), Isabella Laughland (Cordelia), Catherine McCormack (Goneril), Harry Melling (the Fool), Lauren O’Neil (Regan), and Steven Pacey (Kent). The cast also includes Rob Heaps (France/Knight/Guard), Tom Mothersdale (Oswald), Chu Omambala (Albany), Michael Sheldon (French Commander/Servant), Parth Thakerar (Servant/Herald Messenger), Tim Treloar (Cornwall), and Alan Vicary (the Doctor). Frank Langella earned one of his three Tony Awards for his performance as Richard Nixon in the acclaimed production Frost/Nixon (Donmar Warehouse, West End, and Broadway). He was also the recipient of an Olivier Award nomination and an Oscar nomination for the same role in the film version. His additional Tonys were for roles in Seascape and Fortune’s Fool, as well as three more nominations for Man and Boy, Dracula, and Match. His more than four decades on Broadway and close to two dozen productions also include, among others, The Father, Present Laughter, A Man for All Seasons, and Amadeus. In 2013/2014 Langella will star in six films including Grace of Monaco opposite Nicole Kidman, Muhammad Ali’s Greatest Fight opposite Christopher Plummer, directed by Stephen Frears, and Draft Day opposite Kevin Costner. Among his 65 films, recent screen credits include the critically acclaimed Robot and Frank, Starting Out in the Evening, Good Night and Good Luck, Dave, and Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. Chichester Associate Angus Jackson directed the 2013 Olivier Award-winning production Goodnight Mister Tom, and two Festival 2013 productions, If Only and Neville’s Island. Jackson’s other Chichester credits include The Browning Version (also West End), Bingo (also Young Vic), Wallenstein and Funny Girl.

Puccini Organist: Simon Gutteridge THE WELCOME The Reverend Simon Grigg The Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us.

TRIBUTE DAVID SUCHET, CBE written by Geoffrey Wansell 1 ARIA ‘O Mio Babbino Caro’ from Gianni Schicchi by G. Puccini CHARLOTTE PAGE HYMN And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England's mountains green? And was the holy Lamb of God On England's pleasant pastures seen? And did the countenance divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here Among those dark satanic mills? Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire! I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, Till we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land. ADDRESS ‘The Final Test’ SIR RONALD HARWOOD, CBE 2 HYMN I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above, Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love: The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test, That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best; The love that never falters, the love that pays the price, The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.

  • HB-06267 Bishop, Jeff
    RE: HB 6267 - CT TAX CREDITS Dear Finance Committee and Esteemed Members of the Connecticut Legislature My name is Jeff Bishop and I currently perform business recruitment and economic development functions here in the Greater Bridgeport area with the Bridgeport Regional Business Council. Prior to this I was with the Bridgeport Economic Resource Center’s Office of film, which was a public private organization working hand-in-hand with the City of Bridgeport’s Office of Planning and Economic Development. During the tenure of the Bridgeport Office of Film there were more than 30 major motion pictures and/or projects filmed in the City of Bridgeport and surrounding area. They came to our region not only because of the wonderful and diverse scenery available, but also because of the film and digital media tax credit program that was in place. These films and projects brought a tremendous amount of economic activity and energy into our communities on a regular basis. In addition to the “star power” that came to town, it attracted national attention in a positive way, generated civic pride and elevated our standing in the movie industry as a great place to do business. It seemed that the headlines in our local papers and in the media were more about the film projects that came into our town and took over with their film shooting instead of the other types of shootings. There was always a buzz in the air and a certain energy that is hard to quantify but was still there and on display for all to see.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

My contribution is to take the character -- created by the playwright and acted out by the actor -- and reinvent it for the reader.” Al Hirschfeld in The World of Hirschfeld, 1970 Al Hirschfeld was born in St. Louis in 1903 but his family moved to New York City in 1914 where he would remain for most of the next 90 years. Always the artist making drawings, prints and paintings, Hirschfeld completed artwork for more than twenty publications including The Herald Tribune, The New Yorker, The Los Angeles Times, Business Week, Playbill, TV Guide, Town & Country, Playboy, People, Collier’s, Life, Time, Look, Rolling Stone, and Reader’s Digest. In 1943 Hirschfeld married Dolly Haas who was a well-known European actress he met when on assignment to draw a sketch of a summer theater company. The two were married for just over 50 years and had one daughter, the famous Nina. Finding her name hidden in his drawings became an obsession for some of his fans. Less well known is that his wife Dolly occasionally appeared in the background of his drawings. Al Hirschfeld became the first artist in history to have his name on a U.S.
