42Nd SEASON Dear Park Square Patron

42Nd SEASON Dear Park Square Patron

Sept 9 – Oct 2 Sept 23 – Oct 16 (page 4) (page 10)

2016-2017 Welcome to the opening of our 42nd SEASON Dear Park Square Patron,

This year at Park Square Theatre is about “Getting Together.”

Our 2016-2017 Season launches with a pair of comedies – each a little masterpiece in its own off-center realm. Consider this an invitation for us all to convene as community for some shared fun.

America’s – and our world’s – current political/social environment, like theatre itself, thrives on conflict. While we might learn from a good fight, far too often we become obsessed or overwhelmed by what divides us.

This theatre, and this season in particular, is devoted to discovering and celebrating what unites us – what pulls us together. To uncover what we can hold in common. Sometimes it’s a group laugh at a really dumb joke. Sometimes it’s a moment of unexpected empathy – the breath-stopping recognition that can expand our minds or swell our hearts.

Thank you, truly, for coming together here – for this performance, in the same room as the gifted artists who can’t wait to share their delight in our common, if all-too- vulnerable, humanity.

Let’s do it again soon!

Yours,

Richard Cook, Artistic Director C. Michael-jon Pease, Executive Director, CFRE 651.767.8482 | [email protected] 651.767.8497 | [email protected]

HNW_Power of Possible_5.375x8.5ed.indd 1 7/8/2016 3:58:17 PM STORY - The Liar

By David Ives, adapted from Le Menteur by Pierre Corneille

Cliton can’t tell a lie, and his master Dorante can’t tell the truth. Dorante is in hot pursuit of one woman, but thinks she is another which leads to amazing mix- ups and breathtakingly intricate lies. Sharp and saucy modern language in rhyming couplets adds zest to this sparkling urbane romance. Wickedly witty fun!

Critics argued that the actions of The Cid could not plausibly take TEXTBOOK place within twenty-four hours–namely, that Chimène would so quickly agree to marry her father’s killer. The implausibility, COMEDY then, strained her morality. Essays were published; rejoinders followed. Salons got by Matt DiCintio rowdy; personal umbrage was taken. In In nearly every theatre history textbook, textbooks, the squabble is the essence most of the chapter on seventeenth-century of neoclassical French drama, and they France is dedicated to two phenomena: would have you believe it was the most the fracas that followed the debut of dominant event of the era. Pierre Corneille’s The Cid in 1637 (six years before The Liar) and the dominance of Corneille’s play was influential, but don’t Molière’s comedies three decades later. let the theatre history textbooks fool you: Textbook authors discuss the development general audiences had little interest in of dramaturgical guidelines derived from neoclassical tenets. For theatremakers Greek tragedies, and they laud Molière’s and consumers, the culture of playgoing social satires and innovative adaptations was often more of an attraction than the of Roman comedies. These developments productions themselves.

13 PERSPECTIVE - The Realistic Joneses

health facility, but our trusty narrators turn The Realistic out to be not so trusty after all. In Title and Deed, “Man” grapples with his past in another country and tries, without much Will Eno success, to understand where he is now. In by Matt DiCintio Middletown, the secret lives of small-town residents come to light when a newcomer “Some things are not really ours to decide,” comes to town. Unlike Beckett’s plays, for observes Thom Pain at the beginning of Will instance, or the naturalistic plays Eno riffs Eno’s 2004 Thom Pain (based on nothing). on with The Open House, these works offer “The shape of our face, say, or whether we’re audiences the opportunities to enter the forgiven or how tall we are. Where to die and worlds for ourselves, to share the burden when.” After a pause, he adds, “I’ll wait for the of disorientation, to ease the suffering, if laughter to die down.” The play is a rambling only a bit. The Realistic Joneses may seem and sometimes abusive monologue delivered Eno’s most naturalistic play, with props, by a man in an existential quandary, a man costumes, scenery, and language that seem who has seen too much suffering in his young lifted from daily life. But, as Eno suggests life, from a bee sting and a dead pet to a failed with his title, the couple’s shared surname, love affair. And it’s very funny. The play led and the play’s deep silences, there’s just The New York Times to dub Eno “the Samuel enough room for us to get in. Beckett for the generation.” Eno shares with Beckett a keen interest in loss, Perhaps the audience’s role in Eno’s plays is confusion, and the ways in which solitude best represented by The Bully Composition, affect one’s identity. But Eno has a particular a short work in which a photographer fascination that can make his work more and his assistant attempt to restage the open than his avant-garde forebear, and that 1898 photograph of Roosevelt and the fascination is with us. Rough Riders after the Battle of San Juan Hill. Before the picture can be taken, the In a recent profile, The Guardian wrote photographer enters a trance in which he of the playwright, “Eno specializes in returns to the battle as a soldier. At the end, the connections of the unconnected, the the team manages to take the picture, of us, apologetic murmurings of the disengaged, the audience, and the famous photograph those who have suppressed their humanity to appears on stage. The implication is that it survive.” Much of Eno’s playwriting consists is of us: we, too, have gone back to battle. It of worlds and people on the verge of decay, may seem a bleak invitation that Eno offers struggling to make connections. The Open us – to enter skewed worlds and spend time House seems a traditional work of living room with often very skewed characters. The effect realism, in which a tyrannical Father rules of Thom Pain’s observation is that there his family, who apparently share only a love are some things that are ours to decide; the for their missing dog. By the end, however, effect of Eno’s work is that we decide to do it’s clear that only great transformation can them together. save the family.
