2 PICT – How the Other Half Loves From the Board President

Dear Friends,

Those who I would like to read this letter the most will likely never see it. You are reading it because you are in the theater. Those who should be reading it are not.

Sir Alan Ayckbourn said in an interview last year, at the ripe young age of 75, that theater has “an air of liveness and spontaneity and excitement.” As he put it, “People are looking for something that hasn’t been decided six months ago in a studio in Hollywood.” So true. Yet, his Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough struggles like PICT to find new audiences in a world fixated by the convenience and saturation of commercial films, TV, and Netflix.

Going to live theater requires emotional commitment and the willingness to connect through emotional bonds with the actors. The audience is a part of the show itself through its interaction with the cast. Theater builds a sense of community, as those emotions are shared with others in the live audience and thoughts are communicated with others there.

Theater brings the opportunity to feel, share, and socialize with others. It is spontaneous and interactive. A farce succeeds when the audience laughs, a tragedy when the audience sheds tears. The audience participates, injecting its “liveness” and “freshness” into the performance.

So my simple request is for you to be an ambassador and tell others about the special “liveness” of theater. And bring your friends, co-workers, and family to experience the excitement of PICT Classic Theatre with you.

Sincerely,

Chuck Moellenberg

A Note from the Dramaturg

By Shannon Knapp

Playwright Sir Alan Ayckbourn (b. 12 April 1939) began his career as an actor at the Scarborough Library Theatre where he quickly developed a mentor-type relationship with Artistic Director Stephen Joseph. The legend goes that during rehearsal, Ayckbourn complained about the quality of the script and Joseph’s response was to commission a play written by Ayckbourn, as a sort of challenge to do it better.

Ayckbourn rose to the challenge, writing his first hit Relatively Speaking, which opened on the West End in 1967. How the Other Half Sir Alan Ayckbourn Loves was his second play, which had a series of mishaps but also earned him fame in America. Since these early works, he has had a storied career, having written and produced more than seventy full-length plays, garnering a Tony and an Olivier and becoming the second most-produced British playwright, after Shakespeare. He eventually took over as artistic director of Scarborough, renaming it the Stephen Joseph Theatre. He retired from that position in 2009 but continues to work closely with the company.

The title How the Other Half Loves is a reference to the work of Rabelais, “onehalf of the world does not know how the other half lives.” This line has come to be shorthand for the tensions between the lives of the wealthy and those of the rest of the population, particularly after the critical success of Joseph Riss’s 1890 photojournalism piece (“How the Other Half Lives”), a Sinclair-esque piece detail- ing the horrific conditions of the slums of Stephen Joseph Theatre

A Note from the Dramaturg

(continued from page 7)

New York City. In a masterfully crafted way, Ayckbourn uses comedy to bring a similar issue to light, pitting boss against employee, exposing the lies that are common to every person, rich or poor. Ayckbourn also experiments wildly with the use of stage space in the unequaled din- ner party scene. The playwright remembers the original director saying “All right – I give up. How do you do the dinner scene?” It is Ayckbourn’s masterfully crafted comedy and that revolutionary use of space that places How the Other Half Loves far above its peers in the classic form of farce.
