4 Winter 2015 | The Heir Apparent CHICAGO SHAKESPEARE THEATER Welcome

DEAR FRIENDS, We are thrilled to have you with us for The Heir Apparent. It marks our third production penned by the incomparable American playwright David Ives (following A Flea in Her Ear in 2006 and The School for Lies in 2013). To say DEAR FRIENDS, that David has “a way with words” would be woefully understating the fact of the matter. His work is smart, funny, raucous—truly a singular voice of the American theater. Tony Award®-winning director John Rando and our talented cast, including Paxton Whitehead in his Chicago Shakespeare debut, have created a performance that is a veritable master class in comedic timing. The Heir Apparent follows our sold-out, five-star productions of The Tempest and Ride the Cyclone this fall. Together with the recent announcement of the upcoming West Coast premiere of our musical adaptation of Jane Austen’s “A WILDLY ENGAGING Sense and Sensibility, which graced our own stage last year, it is a thrilling time for our artistic collective. It is our privilege to develop and produce work that HIP-HOP TAKE TICKETS makes Chicago proud. And we are so appreciative of the role you play as an ON DICKENS’ START AT audience member. $ Looking ahead to 2016, we hope you will join us for the yearlong celebration, CLASSIC” 30 Shakespeare 400 Chicago. This festival will position Chicago as host to the –CHICAGO SUN-TIMES largest global celebration of the playwright as the world commemorates the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s legacy. We’re thrilled that 2016 will bring written by GQ, JQ, together our city’s leading cultural institutions and invite artists from around JACKSON DORAN and POSTELL PRINGLE the world to make Chicago their stage as we honor Chicago Shakespeare’s developed with “resident playwright.” RICK BOYNTON n directed by GQ and JQ We hope to see you again soon. a Chicago Shakespeare production presented by CST and Richard Jordan Productions Upstairs at Chicago Shakespeare

MH: David Ives has said about your work, John, that you have him in your bones.

JR: As I talk, I realize that all this is the stuff that I, too, love about the theater. I have a passion for language, for the actor, for comedy, for an actor’s inventive nature. And so all of these things add up to this collaboration, which started twenty-plus years ago.

MH: Can you talk about the juxtaposition between this You have to listen production’s contemporary language and its period because it’s poetry. costumes, setting and story? JR: An eighteenth-century room, eighteenth-century frocks, and that fabulous, old beat-up robe for Geronte, the old man—all that ‘stuff’ is so important in creating the world. Then you let the writer make it fun and contemporary. You’re listening to period ideas, period meter and rhythm, alongside contemporary words—and yet some of the words are period too. There’s a mash-up, in a way, of the old and new. Just when you feel like you’ve settled into the language and period costumes, then something pops up in the language that surprises you. It’s embracing the time and place and, at the same time, not being so darn ‘museum piece’ about it.

The real goal is to try to enchant an audience, to delight them. When you update a classical play, it can damage the mystery and surprise because you still have to A WORLD PREMIERE MUSICAL tell this story: there’s a dying man, he has to write his will, and can we get the guy ABOUT TWO LEGENDARY BUSINESS TITANS— to put this young man’s name on it?

Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro is built like this. So is But amid all this chiming of plots and protagonists, why the need for actual rhyme Sondheim’s A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Stuart Sherman, who at all? For Regnard as for Ives, the verbal music is indispensable: not excess but the Forum, itself a resurrection of the Roman-comedy contributes this essay, is infrastructure. The rhyme not only reproduces the patterns of the plot in fast- a specialist in eighteenth- prototypes that had fed into commedia dell’arte. So, in century literature.

The rhyme, though, is another story. We’re used to rhyme in musicals, where the surge into song warrants the liftoff This mix may have come naturally to Regnard. His name means fox, and he in the language toward another passionate planet, livelier displayed throughout his career an extraordinary combination of control and and more luminous than ours, where syllable echoes improvisation.

the tables where others lost them.) And as a playwright, he began by sketching open scenarios for the commedia’s improvisers, before modulating to the clockwork comic dexterities of his virtuosic couplets.

Regnard’s rhymes remain delightful in part because he, and Ives in his metric footsteps, make them a kind of microcosm for the quasi-providential patterns endemic to most comedy. At one point in The Heir Apparent, the comedy’s crustiest blocking agent, in an epiphanic pivot toward magnanimity, discovers that he wants to marry a woman he’s long known. After all, he pleads to this sudden inamorata. “We’re soulmates … we rhyme.”
