The director's note... .I'm always somewhat perplexed whenever I'm asked to write this note to the audience. What's the purpose? Is it to explain some hidden meaning in the show; to shed light on scenes that perhaps you, the audience may not "get"; or is it for me to expound with great verbosity my own magnificence? I don't see the purpose of any of this. I guess this note is really just to give you something to read as you wait for the show to begin. Therefore, I'm pleased to provide you with a few interesting, and perhaps pertinent tidbits as you wait for the curtain to rise: Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart (yes, Radar of M.A.S.H. fame) and Steven Sondheim worked together on A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, on and off, for about five years. The book was revised eleven times and each re-write was a distinct and completely new draft of the play. They were trying hard NOT to reinvent the wheel. Instead, fascinated by the work of Plautus, a third century B.C. playwright, they wanted to revisit t~e wheel­ the comic wheel. It was Plautus over two thousand years ago who invented the devices of theatrical comedy that we still use today. But, unlike today, he made it simple and he observed the three unities of classical drama: time, place and action. Then he added comic conventions, and humorous word play. Shevelove and Gelbart were positive that this was the winning formula. Two thousand and forty six years later (the first performance of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum was in 1962) it still works as well today as when stage hands lit those candles so many centuries ago. When you hear Miles Gloriousus proclaim, "I am a parade" you're hearing a line that Plautus penned over 2400 years ago! So, in a nutshell: It's a farce. There are no hidden meanings. I know you'll all "get" everything. And I've admitted that it's all Plautus, not me, whds magnificent. That means that the only burden on you is to enjoy yourself and laugh. Laugh at the silliness, laugh at the vaudeville sideshow, and laugh at the characters. Forget for a couple of hours what's going on outside in the crazy world beyond this theatre and immerse yourself into an atypical but riotous day in Ancient Rome.

"Heidi and Bill" by Wilfred Kaplan

In 1936 Wilfred Kaplan had a traveling fellowship from Harvard University to pursue his career in mathematics. He enrolled at the Institute of Technology in Zurich and, on the first day of classes, found a seat next to the only girl in the class, Swiss-born Ida Roettinger (later nicknamed "Heidi"). A few weeks later he invited her to the grand student ball, which lasted from 9 p. m. till 5 a. m. During those eight hours they fell deeply in love, a love which was to last for over 68 years. It took almost two years for them to overcome the obstacles to getting married, for Heidi's parents were strongly opposed. The story is told almost wholly in letters between the two lovers (translated from German by Wilfred). In reading it, one is inevitably drawn into the life of the historic times, when Hitler was threatening the world.

"The 1960 Casals Master Classes in Berkeley" by Ida Roettinger Ph.D. Edited by her husband Wilfred Kaplan

In April 1960, Pablo Casals conducted master classes in cello at the University of California in Berkeley. Ida Roettinger Kaplan, nicknamed "Heidi," traveled from Ann Arbor, along with her cello teacher, Harry Dunscombe, to attend the classes as auditor. Harry was one of the students in the master class. Heidi wrote letters to her family, describing all her experiences. The present pamphlet reproduces those letters in edited form. They convey the spirit of the remarkable occasion and supplement the comments made in the appendix to Heidi's book Head, Hand, and Heart [published under her maiden name Ida Roettinger in 1970, distributed by Shar Music Co. in Ann Arbor]. The 1960 Casals Master Classes in Berkeley is an Episode in the Lives of "Heidi and Bill".
