It turns out to be the long lost first play written by a seventeen-year-old Shakespeare and includes his most famous characters and most familiar speeches. Three friends attempt to abridge this ridiculously long story and assume all the roles in this madcap crazy mash-up, led by Puck and Ariel, sworn fairy enemies. 4 Utah Shakespearean Festival 351 West Center Street • Cedar City, Utah 84720 • 435-586-7880 Characters: William Shakespeare’s Long Lost First Play (abridged) Austin: A pompous intellectual Reed: An enthusiastic tough guy Teddy: An innocent man-child Playing, in order of appearance: Chorus Pompey Antipholus Cardenio Dromio of Syracuse Pericles Puck King Lear Oberon Prospero Holofernes Marina Ariel Bear Hamlet Cleopatra Lady Macbeth Richard II Dauphin Kate Mistress Quickly Sycorax Sir John Falstaff Goneril Proteus Regan Valentine Henry IV Juliet Henry V Richard III Henry VIII Beatrice Malvoliago 1st Witch Petruchio 2nd Witch Caliban 3rd Witch Julius Caesar Bottom Timon of Athens Viola Dromio of Ephesus Cesario and William Shakespeare Utah Shakespearean Festival 5 351 West Center Street • Cedar City, Utah 84720 • 435-586-7880 About the Playwright: William Shakespeare’s Long Lost First Play (abridged) By Lisa Larsen For a pair who has made their name writing “abridged” versions of some of the most clas- sic works in the world, the list of accolades garnered by Reed Martin and Austin Tichenor runs pretty long. Take for example, Martin’s litany of professional performance venues including London’s West End, Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center Theatre, Pittsburgh Public Theater, La Jolla Playhouse, the White House, Madison Square Garden and eleven foreign countries, just to name a few. But his claims to fame don’t end there. Martin toured for two years as a clown/ assistant ringmaster with Ringling Brothers/Barnum & Bailey Circus and has done voice work with the animated feature Balto. Meanwhile Tichenor cut his performing teeth on a “boldly conceived kindergarten puppet show.” His resume has since grown to include more puppetry, writing more than twenty plays and musicals for young audiences, television performances on 24, Alias, Felicity, Ally McBeal, and The Practice, as well as creating colorful characters for the “Complete (abridged)” shows he also co-wrote. In 1993, Tichenor joined forces with Martin at the Reduced Shakespeare Company where Martin had been working since 1989. Together the two of them have been capitalizing on their ability to “reduce,” “condense,” and “abridge” a wide range of unwieldy topics—like the Bible and Shakespeare’s complete works—into humorous, digestible portions that delight audi- ences around the globe. Both Martin and Tichenor graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, with Martin receiving an MFA in acting from the University of California San Diego and Tichenor receiving an MFA in directing from Boston University. Tichenor is a former adjunct faculty member at Plymouth State College and Rivier University in New Hampshire, while Martin is an adjunct faculty member at Napa Valley College and Sonoma State Junior College, lead- ing lectures and master classes at the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival, New Zealand National School of the Arts, and more. Their most recent collaboration, William Shakespeare’s Long Lost First Play (abridged) opened to rave reviews in 2016 and tells the “not-quite-factual (well, not at all factual) story of an ancient manuscript purported to be the first play written by William Shakespeare,” accord- ing to press materials on the Utah Shakespeare Festival website. Even their promotion of the play in written interviews as well as portrayed on YouTube, illustrate Martin and Tichenor’s talent for storytelling, humor, quick-witted word play, and puns. “‘Long Lost’ is definitely a bit of fan fiction—our fantasy of what a seventeen-year-old Shakespeare might write about and what kind of interactions between characters we’d like to see,” Tichenor said in an interview with American Theatre. “Like Shakespeare and his sources, we’ve taken what was useful to us from the canon and changed what suited us.” 6 Utah Shakespearean Festival 351 West Center Street • Cedar City, Utah 84720 • 435-586-7880 A Summary of the Play (abridged) Many a playwright and Shakespeare enthusiast has likely longed to discover the manu- script for the first play ever written by the Bard. Rather than waiting around for some- one to find such a treasure, however, Reed Martin and Austin Tichenor of the Reduced Shakespeare Company, decided to take matters into their own hands. Combining the flavor and flair they have become known for with successful proj- ects including The Complete Works of Shakespeare (abridged), The Complete History of America (abridged), The Bible: The Complete Word of God (abridged), and others, William Shakespeare’s Long Lost First Play (abridged) condenses the poignant eloquence and winding soliloquies of each of Shakespeare’s plays into a ninety-minute pun-filled romp following the tale of a feud between Ariel from The Tempest and Puck from A Midsummer Night’s Dream. “Their rivalry creates supernatural chaos among characters from all of Shakespeare’s plays,” Tichenor said in an interview with the American Theatre. Characters include Hamlet, Lady Macbeth, Richard III, King Lear and his three daugh- ters, Viola from Twelfth Night, and many more. After opening to stellar reviews at the Folger Theatre in Washington, D.C., in 2016, “Long Lost” comes to the Utah Shakespeare Festival in a regional premier, taking advantage of the new Eileen and Allen Anes Studio Theatre to round out the 2017 Utah Shakespeare Festival season which will also feature Shakespeare in Love, Romeo and Juliet, Guys and Dolls, As You Like It, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Treasure Island, The Tavern, and How to Fight Loneliness. “This is a season with something for everybody, and one that propels us into the next stage of our development as a theatre company,” says Joshua Stavros, media and public rela- tions director for the Utah Shakespeare Festival. What audiences may or may not get from the “Long Lost” discovery is anything remotely factual or true to Shakespeare’s actual language. “At least 60 percent of the play is actual Shakespeare, sometimes repurposed and put into weird and interesting new contexts,” Tichenor said. “Most of the play is in actual verse, either Shakespeare’s or ours.” “I dare you to tell the difference,” Tichenor jokingly added. “No, it won’t be hard at all.” Whether you’re a Shakespeare scholar or experiencing the Bard for the first time, it likely won’t matter, the show promises to deliver on all fronts. Utah Shakespearean Festival 7 351 West Center Street • Cedar City, Utah 84720 • 435-586-7880 The Reduced Shakespeare Company Strikes Again with William Shakespeare’s Long Lost First Play (abridged) By Kelli Allred, PhD The Reduced Shakespeare Company (RSC), whose gifted playwrights penned The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged), have struck our collective funny bone again with a comedy that promises to challenge the wits of the best actors and the most devoted audiences Cedar City has ever seen. When archeologists unearthed the bones of King Richard III from beneath a parking lot in Leicester, England in 2012, the event triggered the imaginations of Reed Martin and Austin Tichenor of the RSC. The pair immediately determined to use this new-found trea- sure as fodder for an imaginary play that might have been buried alongside the king and unearthed at the same time. The playwrights’ outlandish assertions balloon as the twenty-first century duo claim that the new-found script was written by none other than the Bard himself. The actors have the audacity to gaze into the audience and attest that the script they are about to see—found buried with the bones of King Richard III—is Shakespeare’s first ever attempt at writing a play, which accounts for the appearance of so many familiar characters. When the lights come up on William Shakespeare’s Long Lost First Play, audiences will immediately recognize the opening lines of Twelfth Night and Henry V combined: “O, if a muse of fire be the food of love, let’s eat!” The rest of the play is comprised of plotlines, set- tings, characters, and dialog from all of Shakespeare’s plays.

  • 'Triptych', from Seamus Heaney's Field Work
    An In-Depth Study of ‘Triptych’, from Seamus Heaney’s Field Work An In-Depth Study of ‘Triptych’, from Seamus Heaney’s Field Work Martin Connolly This paper focuses critical attention on ‘Triptych’, the sequence of three poems in Seamus Heaney’s 1979 collection Field Work. The sequence directly follows the opening poem ‘Oysters’, and by virtue of position alone commands attention. It is the first of a number of poems in the collection to address the conflict in Northern Ireland, and can be seen as a kind of public poetry, very different in tone, theme and style from early Heaney. This exploration derives from attempts to provide satisfactory answers to questions concerning elements within the sequence which resist smooth interpretation. My method of approach is largely chronological, in the sense that I go through the poems starting at the beginning and plough through to the end, stanza by stanza, sometimes line by line, attempting to guide the reader toward an understanding of the poem derived from apparent textual evidence. Early on, however, I do state what I think the poetic sequence is designed to be, and this argument informs my interpretation throughout. Yet, at every point, I provide what I consider a coherent rationale and logic for my critical opinions. I would certainly welcome debate on each and every point. The conclusions I have come to in regard to this poetic sequence, are, at times, negative, but not exclusively so. I have looked at this poetic sequence up close and － 129 － found it to be problematic in a number of areas.

  • Virgil and the Tempest
    VIRGIL AND THE TEMPEST The Politics of Imitation Donna B. Hamilton Virgil and The Tempest offers a new assess­ ment of the art and politics of Shakespeare's comic masterpiece by examining its relation­ ship to both the contemporary political con­ text and to Virgil's Aeneid. Challenging the view that The Tempest supports the absolutist theories and policies of King James I, Donna Hamilton instead shows how the play pre­ sents an argument for a limited monarchy. Virgil and James I each represent a set of symbols and idioms that Shakespeare appro­ priates for his own use in The Tempest. In the process, he pays homage to their respective eminence and brings them into dialogic rela­ tion with each other, changing the language to suit his purposes. This means rewriting the Aeneid to suit a new time and situation, and it means subtly altering the king's language to present a strong argument for constitu­ tionalism. Scholars who have emphasized the "trans­ cendent" Shakespeare have sometimes failed to recognize the playwright's passion for resistance, a passion nowhere more cunningly present than in The Tempest. Sixteenth- and seventeenth-century plays were character­ ized by an indirection that only a practiced rhetorical skill could produce, a skill that pur­ chased not only safety, but respect, author­ ity, and power. This skill was equally useful to writers engaged in oppositional politics and to apologists for the established authority. Shakespeare's work, therefore, cannot be fully appreciated by today's readers without being sufficiently historicized. Virgil and The Tempest Virgil and The Tempest THE POLITICS OF IMITATION Donna B.

  • Genesis of a Discourse: the Tempest and the Emergence of Postcoloniality
    Genesis of a Discourse: The Tempest and the Emergence of Postcoloniality By Judith Anne Pocock A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor Philosophy, Graduate Department of English, University of Toronto © Copyright by Judith Pocock 2010 Genesis of a Discourse: The Tempest and the Emergence of Postcoloniality Judith Anne Pocock Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of English University of Toronto 2010 Abstract This dissertation contends that The Tempest by William Shakespeare plays a seminal role in the development of postcolonial literature and criticism because it was created in a moment when the colonial system that was now falling apart was just beginning to come into being. Creative writers and critics from the Third World, particularly Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America, and the First found that the moment reflected in The Tempest had something very specific to say to a generation coming of age in the postcolonial world of the 1960s, 1970s, and early 1980s. I establish that a significant discourse that begins in the Nineteenth Century and intensifies in the Twentieth depends on The Tempest to explore the nature of colonialism and to develop an understanding of the postcolonial world. I then examine the role theories of adaptation play in understanding why The Tempest assumes such a crucial role and determine that the most useful model of adaptation resembles the method developed by biblical typologists which “sets two successive historical events [or periods] into a reciprocal relation of anticipation and fulfillment” (Brumm 27). I ague that postcolonial writers and critics found in The Tempest evidence of a history of colonial oppression and resistance often obscured by established historical narratives and a venue to explore their relationship to their past, present, and future.

  • Unearthing the Tempest
    Unearthing The Tempest The Tempest tells the story of Prospero, the deposed Duke of Milan, and his daughter, Miranda, who have spent the last twelve years in exile on a mysterious island. Upon first washing ashore with his infant child, Prospero captures two of the island’s occupants; with their help, Prospero spends the next twelve years plotting his revenge. The play opens on its namesake: a great storm of Prospero’s devising. Through the magic he has appropriated from Ariel, a mystical spirit, and the natural resources he has acquired from Caliban, the island’s only known native inhabitant, Prospero washes those who wronged him to his shores, seeking to bring them to justice and reestablish Milan’s natural order of succession. What follows is a story of revenge, redemption, and renewal as Prospero learns the meaning of mercy and forgiveness. Born in Stratford-upon-Avon, England in 1564, William Shakespeare is the author of some of the most well known plays in the western canon of dramatic literature. As he moved into the last stage of his career and life, Shakespeare was increasingly drawn to stories of restoration and rebirth, with a strong emphasis on father-daughter relationships. Other plays that share these themes have become known as “the romances,” which also include The Winter’s Tale, Cymbeline, and Pericles: Prince of Tyre. Penned between 1610 and 1611 under the patronage of King James I of England, The Tempest had its first recorded performance in 1611 on All Saints’ Day at Whitehall Palace. The King’s Men, the acting troupe to which Shakespeare belonged, performed the play before the King and his court.
