DEAR FRIENDS

Welcome to Chicago Shakespeare Theater! Over the years, our artists have delighted audiences with plays that are vibrant, accessible and bold in their exploration of contemporary themes through classical literature. Today’s production has provided our artistic collective with the opportunity to flip this model on its head by producing a modern play viewed through a classical lens. David Ives’s new work, The School for Lies, is a deliciously off-color tribute to Molière’s The Misanthrope, written in the rhyming couplets and iambic pentameter of modern vernacular. This Chicago premiere continues our artistic relationship with Ives, whose 2006 hit adaptation A Flea in Her Ear was commissioned by CST and debuted here through our New Classics initiative.

In all aspects of this side-splitting comedy, we see the collision of the modern and classical worlds. The construct of a French Restoration comedy is realized with clever, modern phrases and complex wordplay. Period-appropriate opulence collides with modern edge in the design of the physical world of the play. These seeming juxtapositions are deftly mined by our talented cast, who bring the script to life with spectacularly comedic performances.

Reflective of Shakespeare’s complexity of language and genius for storytelling,The School for Lies is the perfect addition to our 2012/13 season. Over the months ahead, our Theater will play host to productions from across the globe through the World’s Stage series, introduce young audiences to the Bard with a 75-minute abridgment of Romeo and Juliet, and mark the CST debut of British director Jonathan Munby with a poignant production of Julius Caesar. We hope you will come back soon to experience more of what Chicago’s home for Shakespeare has to offer.

Enjoy the show! American Airlines is proud to partner with Chicago Shakespeare Theater for 20 years of bringing extraordinary productions to Chicago and the world.

WRITTEN BY DAVID IVES adapted from The Misanthrope Barbara, what first interested you in this modern by Molière adaptation of Molière? n di rected by BARBARA GAINES BG: When I first read David’s script, it just jumped off the page n courtyard theater for me. David Ives is a genius of the modern American stage. n DECEMBE R 4, 2012– And how many times do we here at Chicago Shakespeare JANUARY 20, 2013 get to have a living playwright with us in rehearsal? David n 312.595.5600 has the ability to go beyond farce and capture the soul of his n www.chicagoshakes.com characters. 1666 was a time of great excess, great shallowness, great political intrigue—and any similarities to 2012 are strictly coincidental! The language is quintessentially 2013. Though the actors are costumed in 1666, we all know these people. And now seemed a good time to be doing this play full of political intrigue, fraud and lies, lies, lies—and people, very real people, searching and struggling.

Barbara Gaines, What will the world of this production look like? Director of The School for Lies BG: Despite its absolutely contemporary language, The School for Lies, like The Misanthrope, is set in 1666. So we have this wonderful tension between now and then. Susan Mickey’s costumes are inspired by the ‘Alexander McQueen of 1666’—in other words, they are ‘Runway 1666,’ edgy and completely over the top. Everything is pushing the envelope because David Ives, too, is pushing the envelope. Both Molière and Ives are revolutionary playwrights. And the set, David Ives, Playwright of beautifully imagined by Dan Ostling, gives a brilliant script The School for Lies and characters a monochromatic canvas to come alive on.

12 Winter 2012 | The School for Lies Will you have to do text work in rehearsal as you do with Shakespeare’s verse?

BG: Throughout this brilliant comedy, we’ll be playing with all those rhymes and rhyming couplets, finding the repetitions and the antitheses, and looking for the words that need lifting. Something that Shakespeare’s, Molière’s and David Ives’s characters all have in common is that they know they are very clever. They love to play with language.

David, what was the genesis of this play?

DI: Working on a Corneille comedy called The Liar a few years ago with the Shakespeare Theatre Company in DC was the first time I had ever worked in verse—and I loved it. When Brian Kulick of Classic Stage Company asked if there were another play I’d like to adapt, I said, ‘I’ve never much liked The Misanthrope, why don’t I work on that?’ It seems to me to be a comedy that Molière left the comedy out of and a love story without any romance. What’s the use of a love story without a romance?! I’m going to say something absolutely heretical, but I’ve never really been a great Molière fan. I miss the gusto of Shakespeare, the love of life. So when I decided to attack The Misanthrope, my first thought was, ‘If Shakespeare had awakened in the middle of the night with this idea—a crabby, articulate misanthrope in love with a witty, viviacious widow—how would he have told the story?’ And I got to work.

And your process for going about that?

DI: I didn’t want to make a new translation of The Misanthrope; I wanted to take that play and make an English play that used Molière. So I read it over and over again in French and got to know the characters. I laid the story out scene-by-scene on index cards on my dining room table. Then I started thinking, ‘What are the scenes I would love to see?’ Molière begins with the two main characters already in love, while I think Shakespeare would have shown them falling in love—and shown the comedy inherent in two such totally mismatched lovers. Frank enters the life of a widow and rescues her from some secret sorrow in her heart. To me it becomes a play about someone who brings a widow, witty and beautiful as she is, back to life—and brings her back to love. That was the story I wanted to tell. How do you understand the work of an “adapter” and a “playwright”?

DI: The same way Shakespeare did: as pretty much the same thing. I’m not comparing myself to him, I only mean that thirty-five of his thirty-seven plays are adaptations. Nor did he necessarily like the original material he was working with. He just saw something there that he could use. ‘Oh yes! Melancholy Danish prince who has to kill his uncle! What a great story!’ I sometimes think that if we could go back and ask Shakespeare what his profession was, he might have said he was an adapter. In any case, I see no reason to make an audience sit through some old play just for the sake of theater history. Theater’s not a museum. It has to be alive. So I change things. I adapt.

Will you say more about the verse?

DI: Working on The Liar, I found that rhymed couplets in iambic pentameter—which are proverbially absolute hell on audiences, actors and English drama—actually can be great fun. They sure are terrific for adding some punch to a punchline. The fun comes in bending the verse just enough so that we hear a rhyme when we need to hear it rather than when we have to hear it, if you see the difference. I myself think everything should be in verse. Once I’d started working in verse I would walk down the street and translate bus ads into verse, just to see how they’d sound. Know what? Bus ads are always better in iambic pentameter.

What will be your role in rehearsal?

DI: I’m here to put in my two cents and then to vanish and let the actors do what they do, which is magic. In the gestation of any play, there’s a time when the playwright knows more than anybody else. Then there comes a time when the director knows more than the playwright, and it’s time for the playwright to shed himself. There then comes a time when the actors know more than the director. Finally, the actors and audience know the most—when they become a single organism shaping the play together night after night through the simple act of listening and responding. Which is theater. And life as well, you might say. n Philip Glass THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER Feb 23, 24, 27, Mar 1

The Story

Frank, a penniless Frenchman who has been living in England, prides himself on telling everyone the truth as he sees it. On a visit to Paris’s most glittering salon, Frank tries to demonstrate to his new friend Philinte the evils of telling lies by starting a rumor that Philinte dresses in women’s clothing. It’s not exactly love at first sight when Frank then meets Celimene, a lovely though gossip-loving widow whose favorite pastime is entertaining her adoring suitors by scandalously sending up members of the Paris “scene.” As revenge for the rumor about women’s clothing, Philinte tells Celimene that Frank is actually King Louis’s bastard brother and a man of immense influence. Celimene suddenly wants to get to know Frank better, hoping someone as highly placed as he (so she thinks) might help her in court with a slander case that stands to ruin her.

Philinte meanwhile tells Frank that Celimene is in love with him, and Frank decides that the only noble thing to do is to love her back. An unusual courtship ensues, entailing some stolen love letters, a false proposal invented to spark jealousy, and several cases of misunderstandings and mistaken identity, all contributing to a comic tug-of-war that leads the two “lovers” to their fated end.

Playwright David Ives

Celebrated for his immensely playful comedies, New York playwright David Ives situates his aesthetic on the knife’s edge between absurd slapstick and astute substance. His work has received multiple honors, including the MacArthur Award for Outstanding New Play, the Hull-Warriner Award, a Prince Prize for Commissioning New Work, and the 2012 Tony nomination for Best Play for Venus in Fur, which, after its acclaimed Broadway run, is soon to be filmed by Roman Polanski.

The playwright was first recognized for his one-acts. All in the Timing comprises six short plays on sundry subjects: three chimpanzees attempting to write Hamlet, the death of Leon Trotsky as he attempts to make sense of the mountain climber’s axe in his head, and the mundane act of composer Philip Glass purchasing a loaf of bread. All in the Timing won the Outer Critics Circle Playwriting Award, ran for two years off Broadway, and in the 1995-96 American theater season was (apart from Shakespeare) the most performed play in the country.

Ives often translates and/or adapts older works, describing his process as “translaptation”—an attempt to “look for the play underneath the words” and to draw parallels between a play’s historical context and today. Commissioned by CST and produced here in 2006, Ives’s first “translaptation” was A Flea in Her Ear by Georges Feydeau, the nineteenth-century father of French farce. For Ives, the process of translaptation requires more creation than renovation. “It's my job to bring to an adaptation the energy of a playwright working on a new play. As far as I’m concerned, I've simply done the comic work on The Misanthrope that Molière himself might have done had he lived another 350 years. I also fixed his plot—at long last! Molière himself seems quite pleased. But you know how he is.” n

THE SCHOOL FOR LIES Audiences hoped to recognize onstage the world in WRITTEN BY DAVID IVES adapted from which they lived as fervently 350 years ago as we do The Misanthrope by Molière today. Shakespeare knew this. He told historical stories so as to make clear their relevance to political realities n di rected by BARBARA GAINES familiar to his audience. Today, most of us are accustomed n courtyard theater to modern-dress stagings of Shakespeare. We believe n DECEMBE R 4, 2012– costumes and concepts live in the world of specific JANUARY 20, 2013 productions, while language is the play. By updating n 312.595.5600 a play’s setting, a director can reassign its historical n www.chicagoshakes.com references in order to make evident its contemporary pertinence while preserving the original text.

It is fitting, then, that it is in the context of Chicago Shakespeare Theater that we encounter David Ives’s 2011 play The School for Lies, which wrests a new and deceptively contemporary work from Molière’s The Misanthrope, first performed in 1666. Rather than a modern-dress staging, Ives has given us a visually Ira S. Murfin is a doctoral candidate recognizable Molière in terms of costume and setting, in the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. of Theatre and Drama at Northwestern whose language is rendered in modern-dress, much University. He is a guest lecturer as Shakespeare told old stories in the vocabulary of his at Chicago Shakespeare Theater. political present.

Molière rarely gets the modern-dress treatment. The premises of his plays are thought too closely tied to the social conventions of their time. Yet they have endured, their satirical commentary on societal hypocrisy still

34 Winter 2012 | The School for Lies easily recognizable. Ives concedes, even exploits, the necessity of period and nominally sets his play in 1666, employing the dress and characters of Molière’s original. He even approximates Molière’s rhyme scheme.

But the words themselves and the world they reference are strikingly modern, all the more jarring for their appearance in a comfortably remote milieu. Contemporary colloquialisms are sprinkled prominently throughout: “dude” and the all-purpose “like,” references to Pilates and places in Connecticut, casual vulgarity and scatological humor that would make David Mamet blush. Still, as we walk away from this frothy entertainment, weighty thoughts about historical corollaries are unlikely to be on our minds. Instead we will be laughing over the unexpected references and repeating the wittiest couplets. Our delight comes from disjunction, a sense that the characters are drawing on a vocabulary that both is and is not our own, playfully flitting between epochs. …weighty thoughts about historical corollaries are unlikely to be on our minds.

In the Prologue, the actor playing Philinte tells us, tongue firmly in cheek, that sophisticated contemporary audiences can safely laugh at the stupidity of seventeenth-century France:

Can you believe, back then, what dunces ranged In every level of society? or that buffoons of wild variety Actually held positions of great power? Thank God we’ve none of that! No fools to sour our peace, no hypocrites to etch in acid.

We can, perhaps, find a hint of Ives’s intention embedded in this winking jab at society then and now. It is tempting to take the cue of costume and verse to bracket The School for Lies as a merely ironic evocation of an amusement from the past. But then we recognize something familiar in the onstage sniping and bickering. Ives invites us to laugh at these silly characters and their trivial squabbles, while also hinting that the society that shaped them is not so different from our own. He confronts us with an everyday lexicon dressed in the rarefied tone and timbre of Molière. This incongruent hybridity makes for an up-to-date theatrical mash-up, Ives suggests, which is able to synthesize something new–precisely because the divergent historical ingredients are so easily recognizable. Though Ives’s play engages history, it stays outside of it, sliding along on the slipperiness of theatrical space and time.

While Ives’s language allows us to see ourselves through new eyes, it also allows us to see Molière’s play through old ones. His approach grants a contemporary audience an experience akin to what we imagine an original audience might have felt. We laugh and cringe, experiencing the surprise, offense, delight–and recognition–that might well have accompanied Molière’s play in all its irreverent newness at the premiere. But, as close as we may feel, Ives cannot transport us to the summer night in 1666 when The Misanthrope opened at the Théâtre du Palais-Royal in Paris. We remain in the present. Though Ives’s play engages history, it stays outside of it, sliding along on the slipperiness of theatrical space and time. Ultimately, we land in neither seventeenth-century France nor contemporary America, but in the theater, where it is always now, and language is always at play. n Revelry GOODWILL Tiny Tim foexcitementTHISHUMBUG!

In Memoriam Corinne E. Johnson, a longtime friend of Chicago Shakespeare Theater, passed away last fall. A teacher at York High School in Elmhurst for 32 years, Corrine was a CST subscriber for over two decades and active participant in the Theater’s nationally renowned education programs. Her generosity of spirit inspired her to include a contribution to Chicago Shakespeare Theater in her estate plans. Per her wishes, her legacy gift now directly supports our education programs, helping to bring Shakespeare to life for over 40,000 students and teachers each season.

By including Chicago Shakespeare Theater in your will or estate plans, you too can help safeguard the future of Chicago’s Home for Shakespeare. Contact the Advancement office today for information on the First Folio Society.
