Barbara Gaines Criss Henderson Raymond F. McCaskey Artistic Director Executive Director Chair, Board of Directors

DEAR FRIENDS

Henry VIII was certainly a notorious king, but ironically Shakespeare’s work bearing his name is not often produced. In fact, to our knowledge, this season’s production is the first timeHenry VIII has been professionally staged in Chicago. It certainly is the first time Chicago Shakespeare Theater has explored the play, leaving only two remaining titles from the canon to be produced on our stages before we complete the full cycle (Coriolanus and Titus Andronicus).

As has been the hallmark of our company through the years, examining Shakespeare’s more obscure works presents our artistic collective with an invigorating challenge. This results in innovative staging and extraordinary clarity of verse that, when combined, connect modern audiences with the humanity inherent in these complex plays. The Henry VIII you will see today is stripped bare of the pomp and circumstance written into the original text. By doing so, we are left with a very personal portrayal of this lascivious king, and a thoughtful examination of how impassioned love and hubris altered a nation’s definition of faith and loyalty.

Thank you for joining us at Chicago’s home for Shakespeare and honoring the work of this astonishing playwright. Each season, his spirit is celebrated on our stages here on Navy Pier; in the 400 schools across the Midwest that make up Team Shakespeare; throughout Chicago’s diverse neighborhoods through our free Chicago Shakespeare in the Parks tour; and across the world through our World’s Stage Series.

Truth can break the gates down, truth can howl in the street; unless truth is pleasing, personable and easy to like, she is condemned to stay whimpering at the back door. HENRY VIII BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE —from Hilary Mantel’s Bring Up the Bodies, n DIRECTED BY quoted by Barbara Gaines at first rehearsal BARBARA GAINES n COURTYARD THEATER n APRIL 30–JUNE 16, 2013 n 312.595.5600 rtistic Director Barbara n www.chicagoshakes.com AGaines discusses her vision for Henry VIII.

As you’ve entered the world of this play over the past months, what has surprised you about Henry VIII?

BG: First, he was an extraordinary young man. He loved learning, and studied with some of the great scholars of England. He was a master musician, a poet, a composer Artistic Director and a gardener. He was his own architect. And he was Barbara Gaines charismatic. He had limitless energy. Whether jousting or dancing, no one did it better than he.

I was a teenager when I learned Queen Katherine’s monologue for my acting teacher, who was understandably surprised by this choice! Returning to the play as an adult, I realize how I had underestimated its psychological layers. Before, I saw the tyrant; now, I also see the tragedy of a life with so much promise, this great soul sabotaged by his own actions and his inability, or unwillingness, to ever excavate his interior landscape. Ultimately, he destroys himself. But this play focuses on

12 Spring 2013 | Henry VIII

b1737_HENR_Program.indd 12 4/23/13 5:22 PM an earlier period in his reign when he is still married to Katherine, and when he meets and eventually marries the second of his six wives, Anne Boleyn.

How have you come to understand his first marriage to Katherine?

BG: I think in the beginning of their marriage they were happy. They were both so young. Katherine was a brilliant woman who had many of the same qualities and interests as he. In this play, the two of them appear together in just one scene before he meets Anne, and what we see is a respect and friendship between them, but no longer a great love affair.

And then he meets Anne Boleyn.

BG: Yes. I think she was the great love of his life. But what interests me in this play is what makes someone who is so obsessed with someone then begin a massive marketing campaign against her—and ultimately decapitate her? That’s a tremendous arc of a life.

What do you make of Shakespeare and his collaborator John Fletcher’s original title for this play, All Is True?

BG: In my mind, “All Is True” is a completely ironic title. Certainly Katherine’s truth is very different from Henry’s, as is Anne’s. All is true in that people’s perspectives are always different—and nothing is true. It depends who you are and where you stand. That’s where empathy comes in—and there’s very little of it in this play. To me, this is what this story is about. Henry VIII: All Is True. And nothing is true. People’s perspectives are inevitably warped by their own agendas.

From a canon with practically no stage directions comes this late play of Shakespeare’s that’s brimming with them. What do you plan to do with that?

BG: I think he and Fletcher recognized what Cecil B. DeMille discovered three hundred years later—that there’s no such thing as too much excess when it comes to entertainment! It’s a play filled with pageantry and

b1737_HENR_Program.indd 13 4/23/13 5:22 PM processionals—a hundred people onstage cheering Anne Boleyn, a hundred people onstage hating Wolsey. First of all, we don’t have the money to do that. Second of all, the pageantry didn’t bring out the soul of the play. All of us have been obsessed by someone. All of us have been rejected by a lover. Many of us have ambitions that will not be fulfilled. And so I realized that I couldn’t get to the intimate psychological part of this journey if I was looking at a hundred other people onstage. We had to simplify it all in order to focus upon what truly matters: the inception of this tyrannical regime. And then at the play’s end we arrive at the birth of the future Queen Elizabeth. From this profoundly damaged tyranny comes something quite miraculous.

We haven’t talked yet about the Lord Cardinal Wolsey. Help us understand his character in light of this story.

BG: When Henry VIII’s father died, the son was just a young man, and he had no interest dealing with the “business” of monarchy. Wolsey, who was brilliant, dealt with all of that. The nobles detest the man who keeps them all at arm’s length from the King. At the time of this story, Wolsey is probably the richest and most feared man in the country, and his secret ambition is to become the Pope.

Any final thoughts you want to leave us with?

BG: What interests me is how this phenomenally charismatic human being loses his humanity and becomes a tyrant with no regard and no mercy—for law, for women, for human foible. He had so much potential to evolve into a great soul. But his proclivity toward cruelty reined in any capacity for introspection and mercy. And yet at his death, the entire country loved and mourned him deeply. So it’s complex, and it’s haunting. n

THE STORY

Lord Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, now perhaps the richest man in the kingdom, is hated by England’s nobility. The low-born Wolsey remains the power behind the throne, and he wields it for his own gain. The Duke of Buckingham attempts to warn the king of Wolsey’s trespasses, but the Lord Cardinal strikes first, accusing Buckingham of placing himself as the rightful successor to the throne if Henry produces no heir; Buckingham is charged with high treason.

Queen Katherine is the first of the king’s six wives—and widow to Henry’s elder brother, who died in his adolescence. Through eight pregnancies, Katherine has given birth to only one child still living, Princess Mary. Henry fears that this marriage to a brother’s widow must exist against the will of heaven and, with Wolsey’s help, he looks to Rome to annul his twenty-year marriage. With his eye on the papacy for himself, Wolsey handpicks England’s future queen from France’s Catholic royal family, but Henry’s eye strays elsewhere—to the beauty of the English, and decidedly Protestant, Anne Boleyn, whom he first meets at Wolsey’s palace.

It appears that Wolsey’s power is limitless, until evidence of his unbounded ambition and double-dealings land back in Henry’s hands. The dissolution of a marriage—and a revolution within the Church—follow, along with a new bride and the birth of a princess named Elizabeth. Here, before an audience that knows well the story’s “real” ending, Henry VIII: All Is True draws to a close, revealing the nuances of history and myth—and the refusal of our experiences, memories and imaginative powers to be neatly categorized for long.

A PLAY TURNS 400

In 1613 with “All Is True” (titled “The Famous History of the Life of King Henry the Eight” ten years later when the play is first published in the First Folio), Shakespeare returns to the subject of England’s history—a form that that he had re-imagined and virtually invented early in his career but had abandoned fourteen years earlier after writing Henry V. And while Shakespeare’s name alone appears in the First Folio edition, scholars are certain that this late play was a collaboration with the younger John Fletcher, who would succeed Shakespeare as the principal playwright for the King’s Men. Theater is always a collaborative art, but in early modern England, it is understood by scholars that perhaps as many as two-thirds of the plays being created in this prolific period were written by multiple authors. It was the last play to be staged in the original Globe—burnt to the ground on June 29, 1613, by a five-word stage direction in Act 1: “Drum and trumpet, chambers discharg’d.”

And novels compassing roughly the same spectrum of tastes: Phillipa Gregory’s mass-market Boleyn series; Hilary Mantel’s Booker-anointed trilogy: Wolf Hall, Bring Up the Bodies, and still to come, The Mirror and the Light.

For centuries, audiences have loved Shakespeare’s version too. Until about a hundred years ago, Henry VIII held the stage, with Hamlet, Lear, and a handful of others, as one of Stuart Sherman, Associate Shakespeare’s greatest hits. Actors clamored to perform in Professor of English at Fordham University, is a specialist in it, playgoers to witness it once again. eighteenth-century literature and the author of Telling Time: Why? Clocks, Diaries and English Diurnal Form, 1660–1785. The question that pulls us toward Henry’s story is much the same that propels us through the greatest gangster films: what to do with the man who wants everything, and takes a positive pleasure in destroying lives and upending his world to get it? Like many a hypnotic gangster, Henry proffers us a twofold answer: be him, then flee him. Live vicariously through his voraciousness (we all, after all, want everything too), then cut away to distance and disapproval when the consequences of appetite become too dark to endorse.

But Shakespeare, working alongside his much younger but already eminent collaborator John Fletcher,

32 Spring 2013 | Henry VIII

b1737_HENR_Program.indd 32 4/23/13 5:23 PM characteristically complicates things. From the start, he makes Henry something of a muddle: intermittently appetitive and assertive (as always), but also whiney, dependent, even dupable. And he places Henry between characters far more formidable, and formidably pitted against each other—Cardinal Wolsey (his ecclesiastical Grand Vizier) and his first wife Katherine—whose ruins he engineers, but whose tragic trajectories generate such heat and light as to outshine, for much of the play, the King’s own appetites and aspirations. “These are stars indeed—” remarks one of the play’s innumerable onlookers. “And sometimes falling ones,” replies another. Wolsey and Katherine fall dazzlingly.

Shakespeare, writing late in his career (there was only one more play to go, followed by three years’ silence and an early death), is deeply interested in endings. In fact the play starts with one: a quick kangaroo-court condemnation and execution that will trigger a chain reaction, as we watch the takers-down get taken down in turn by new connivers— who will themselves be felled still later on.

The pattern is compelling in itself, but Shakespeare and Fletcher embed it in something far more sumptuous—a show calculated in every way to be a crowd-pleaser, stuffed with stimuli aimed at every region of the brain: courtroom drama (three tense trial scenes, each differently wound and sprung); sex farce (including a strikingly Hefneresque banquet scene early on); and copious lashings of the kinds of spectacle Renaissance Londoners loved most—parade, procession, pageantry. The play’s huge cast and extensive stage directions, by far the most elaborately detailed in anywhere in Shakespeare, make clear that in Henry VIII he and Fletcher were striving for a certain kind of high-budget high-body-count realism. They were offering playgoers, for the cheap price of a ticket (and for as long a run as the show might secure), a scale of spectacle that they might otherwise see only occasionally, on the high street or at court.

b1737_HENR_Program.indd 33 4/23/13 5:23 PM From the start, the play’s realism flirted fascinatingly with reality itself. Its original title was not the plain- vanilla Henry VIII but the far more provocative All Is True; its first audiences ended up experiencing that truth in extraordinary ways. At the second or third performance, a gun, fired exactly as directed in the script, accidentally set the thatched roof of the Globe theater afire, and quickly brought the house down in flames (though with no harm to audience or actors). When Henry VIII then moved to the indoor Blackfriars theater nearby, its interaction with reality worked another way. The trial of Queen Katherine, in effect the play’s centerpiece, had actually taken place, eighty-four years earlier, in the very hall where Shakespeare’s audience now witnessed its reenactment.

But for early audiences, the historical truth that probably hit closest to home was the christening, in the play’s last scene, of the infant who would later, after much turmoil, be crowned Queen Elizabeth. At the play’s premiere, in 1613, she had been dead for almost exactly ten years, after a prodigious forty-five-year reign. For any audience member older than twenty-one she would have been a vivid presence in living memory, a phenomenal self- performer in her own right (and in full and fabulous costume), and the architect of the unprecedented English epoch—all that exploration, conquest, wealth, confidence, and drama onstage and off—that the playgoers themselves now inhabited. In the gorgeous, gleaming, uncannily on-point prophecies spoken by the Archbishop of Canterbury over the infant future Queen, the audience would have heard, and perhaps in large measure assented to, a luminous affirmation of the forces that had shaped their own lives. They were witnessing the genesis of their whole proliferant and prolific culture.

They also, thanks to Shakespeare’s and Fletcher’s ingenuity, saw much more. So do we. Like those early audiences, we know the future that the characters on stage do not: the execution of Elizabeth’s mother less

b1737_HENR_Program.indd 34 4/23/13 5:23 PM SCHOLAR’S NOTES

than three years after her baby’s birth; the four wives (and one more spousal decapitation) still to come; the devastating, deadly religious conflicts that will arise out of the machinations we’ve just witnessed; the vicissitudes of fortune that will nearly destroy Elizabeth before they make her queen. In any prophecy as roseate as the Archbishop’s, all cannot be true because truth is only partial; so much must be left out.

Shakespeare and Fletcher structure All Is True in such a way as to make its title less an assured assertion than an open question. It’s mainly true that Henry, Wolsey and the rest made these choices and these moves with these consequences. But it’s also true, in ways the authors insistently emphasize, that untruths—lies about their enemies, and even about their allies—are the Realpolitik medium they work in, breathe, and live by. Nor, it turns out, is truth itself rock-solid. As the play proceeds, judgment proves as malleable as fact: a “bold bad man” can become, even in the eyes of his most ardent enemy, a figure worthy of admiration and honor. Characters change their minds constantly, about themselves (listen to Wolsey’s late great speeches) and about others (listen to Katherine’s).

You’ll likely change yours often too. In Henry VIII, all is just true enough to crack the question of truth wide open. n
