OSHIMA The Story: Proteus and Valentine are two close buddies. When Valentine is sent away to the Duke's court in Milan, Proteus, who is head over heels in love with Julia, is unable to drag himself away to accompany his friend. However, Proteus' father, Antonio, decides that his son needs to broaden his mind with a little travel. Proteus leaves Julia bereft in Verona and joins Valentine in Milan. But once there Proteus meets Silvia, Valentine's beloved, and immediately falls in love with her, too. Proteus plots against his best friend, causing Valentine to be sent away in disgrace. He also tricks Sir Thurio, yet another rival for Silvia's love. Meanwhile, Valentine falls into the hands of outlaws who make him their chief. Julia can't wait for Proteus to return, so she dresses up as a boy and goes after him. In the end, everyone, including the Duke, winds up in the forest among the outlaws, and there is an amazingly quick and . ® somewhat happy ending to this unlikely tale .

    GUEST: TERENCE KNAPP LSS 508 (LENGTH: 26:46) FIRST AIR DATE: 10/18/11 My feet have always been a problem. Well, ever since I’ve been to the islands, that is. Oh, not when I was a boy in Belgium; no, I was as good on my feet as anybody in those days, running around the countryside, helping out on the farm, driving the cows in at night, skating on the River Dijle. Why, the night before I left home for good, I walked fourteen miles to say goodbye to my mother at the Shrine of Our Lady. Twelve years I promised her. This studio at PBS Hawaiʻi has been the scene of many wonderful productions. From music specials, educational and informational programs, to shows about the arts, our cameras have captured them all. But in 1976, over a series of several days, a high water mark in local television was set. Journey with us to that time, as we look back on the career of actor Terrence Knapp, here on Long Story Short. Long Story Short with Leslie Wilcox is Hawaiʻi’s first weekly television program produced and broadcast in high definition. Aloha mai kākou. I’m Leslie Wilcox. In this edition of Long Story Short, you’ll meet a man who is considered by many to be a cultural treasure of Hawaiʻi, a devoted teacher of the dramatic arts, who chose to relocate from the British Isles of Shakespeare to an island home of a very different kind, an actor who has performed with Sir Laurence Olivier in the National Theater of Great Britain, and who mentored Booga Booga’s James Grant Benton.

DIRECTOR'S NOTES Kobo Abe is said to be a great lover of science fiction. He also has been called a writer of detec­ tive stories. It is easy to see why, looking at our play tonight. The hero ofT HE ANIMAL HUNTER, the Professor, entertains a fantastic, pseudo-scientific belief in something called "animal spirit." In order to test the power of the animal-like Uehs to cure human illness, he sets up, in his laboratory dungeon, an elaborate spirit experiment (which you will have to sitthrough most of the play to see). He exhorts those around him to eatonlyfood "with the letter 'i' in the name," since, as we all know, spirit travels through the "eye." Did his father turn into a raven and fly off into the sky?

  • Puritans, Missionaries, and Language Trouble in James Grant Benton's
    Multicultural Shakespeare: Translation, Appropriation and Performance vol. 18 (33), 2018; DOI: 10.18778/2083-8530.18.05 ∗ Rhema Hokama Shakespeare in Hawai‘i: Puritans, Missionaries, and Language Trouble in James Grant Benton’s Twelf Nite O Wateva!, a Hawaiian Pidgin Translation of Twelfth Night1 Abstract: In 1974, the Honolulu-based director James Grant Benton wrote and staged Twelf Nite O Wateva!, a Hawaiian pidgin translation of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. In Benton’s translation, Malolio (Malvolio) strives to overcome his reliance on pidgin English in his efforts to ascend the Islands’ class hierarchy. In doing so, Malolio alters his native pidgin in order to sound more haole (white). Using historical models of Protestant identity and Shakespeare’s original text, Benton explores the relationship between pidgin language and social privilege in contemporary Hawai‘i. In the first part of this essay, I argue that Benton characterizes Malolio’s social aspirations against two historical moments of religious conflict and struggle: post-Reformation England and post-contact Hawai‘i. In particular, I show that Benton aligns historical caricatures of early modern puritans with cultural views of Protestant missionaries from New England who arrived in Hawai‘i beginning in the 1820s. In the essay’s second part, I demonstrate that Benton crafts Malolio’s pretentious pidgin by modeling it on Shakespeare’s own language. During his most ostentatious outbursts, Malolio’s lines consist of phrases extracted nearly verbatim from Shakespeare’s original play. In Twelf Nite, Shakespeare’s language becomes a model for speech that is inauthentic, affected, and above all, haole. Keywords: Twelfth Night, Reformation studies, puritanism, pidgin and creole languages.
