As the 2017/18 season draws to a close this summer, we find ourselves in the Russian countryside of Turgenev by way of Patrick Marber. This season we have looked at gender and racial politics, authoritarianism, rage and class. And finally, what is a more enduring theme than love? It makes you giddy with joy, writhe with pain and behave ridiculously. That is the fun and the ache of it. A Month in the Country is almost always done in adaptation. Turgenev wrote a four-hour-plus evening in the theater. As Mr. Marber’s title, Three Days in the Country, suggests, this one is faster and funnier and, like all of his plays, more dangerous to the human heart. The temperature is too hot. The long days are sticky. And everyone is in love with someone they shouldn’t be in love with.

It is a perfect summer play to end the season. It gives us a vantage point from the heart to look forward to 2018/19. We will again explore the human condition with Lillian Hellman’s The Little Foxes, Martin McDonagh’s The Cripple of Inishmaan, Cicely Hamilton’s Diana of Dobson’s and Bertolt Brecht’s The Caucasian Chalk Circle, as well as a festival of new plays from the Antaeus Playwrights Lab and a monthly reading series of classic masterworks, Classic Sundays. So please come back, be a serial theatergoer and join the Antaeus family.

Bill Brochtrup, Rob Nagle and Kitty Swink Co-Artistic Directors Director’s Note

"A classic is a classic because it is modern." - Liviu Ciulei

I have always disliked this play. Turgenev’s A Month in the Country is old-fashioned, over-written and lacks dramatic tension. It is famously thought to be the play that inspired Chekhov to write for the theater. I never understood why. Enter Patrick Marber.

Two summers ago, I was in London visiting the actor Simon Bradbury and his wife and we all decided to go catch a play at the National Theatre. We hadn’t purchased tickets in advance and the choice came down to George Farquhar’s Restoration romp, The Beaux Stratagem, or the world premiere of Three Days in the Country. I was favoring the Farquhar, but they lobbied hard for the Turgenev. Reluctantly, I deferred. I’m glad I did.

After the international success of his play Closer and the ﬁlm Notes on a Scandal, Patrick Marber stopped writing for several years. Following a series of frightening terrorist attacks in London, he and his wife decided they didn’t want to raise their three sons in the city. They bought several hundred acres in the North of England and Marber became, in his words, “a gentleman farmer.” It nearly killed him, but this experience infuses every scene in Three Days in the Country and makes the play an intensely personal experience for him. If, as the Irish playwright Thomas Kilroy describes it, the art of adaptation is “a form of privileged conversation with the author,” then Patrick Marber had that conversation.

Turgenev initially titled this play The Tutor and Two Women before eventually settling on A Month in the Country. He might just as easily have called it “A Lifetime in the Theater.” His original play runs four and a half hours and is peppered with lengthy scenes and speeches. He himself declared it “ unplayable.” Patrick Marber’s Three Days in the Country retains the characters and spirit of the original play, but condenses and reworks it while adding dialogue and humor uniquely his own. The play pulsates with energy and inner life. Here, at last, is the play that inspired Chekhov!

Why Partner Casting Double casting, or as we call it “partner casting” (two actors sharing the same role) has been an Antaeus practice since we formed our company in 1991. Partner casting was originally a logistical solution to our members’ need to make a living while committing to the demands of a theater performance schedule. Sharing roles brings surprising beneﬁts. We learn from each other as we collaborate the creation of a character. In performance, the constantly changing lineup keeps our performances sharp. We are constantly on our toes and open to the unexpected. Antaeus audiences can count on seeing excellent actors working at the top of their game. The strength of our ensemble is a direct result of the partner casting process. Thank You to our Extended Family of Loyal Supporters

At weekly meetings, accomplished Antaeus Company actors bring our writers’ new pages to life. The Lab incubates new works that provide compelling roles for actors, and creates a nurturing and supportive artistic community.

New playwrights are brought into the Lab through referral; there is no application process at this time. However, we do have regular Open Houses when writers can share their work with us and actors can come play. Check our calendar for upcoming events.

The Lab Committee is: Lab Facilitator: Emily Chase Co-Artistic Directors: Rob Nagle, Kitty Swink Playwrights Panel: Jeanette Farr, Alex Goldberg, Jennifer Rowland

ACADEMY The Academy trains the next generation of professional theater artists and serves more than 220 students each year. The program oﬀers opportunities for both aspiring artists who want to develop essential skills and seasoned professionals who want to ﬁne-tune their skills by giving them the chance to learn among a community of respected professionals. Classes cover topics such as scene-study, technique training, classical movement, voice, and improvisation, among others.

ODYSSEY ARTISTS' WORKSHOP The Antaeus Odyssey Artists’ Workshop is a creative writing and theater residency for at-risk youth and young adults that employs work from the classical canon to teach the structural elements of nonﬁction writing as well as theater performance skills.

By working with professional actors who perform classical texts in a style that resonates with students and breaks down themes from the chosen play, the program removes the perception of literature’s inaccessibility. It also gives students permission to express themselves and allows them to tell their own stories by using the universality of the classical characters, showing them they are not alone. Perhaps even more important is the program’s ability to help students gain, or regain, empathy.
