Schiller's Mary Stuart 11 POINT of VIEW SCHILLER’S CHICAGO SHAKESPEARE THEATER About CST A global theatrical force, Chicago Shakespeare Theater (CST) is known for vibrant productions that reflect Shakespeare’s genius for storytelling, musicality of language, and empathy for the human condition. Under the leadership of Artistic Director Barbara Gaines and Executive Director Criss Henderson, Chicago Shakespeare has redefined what a great American Shakespeare theater can be—a company that, delighting in the unexpected, defies theatrical category. —The Merry Wives of Windsor A Regional Tony Award-winning theater, CST produces acclaimed plays at its home on Navy Pier, throughout Chicago’s schools and neighborhoods, and on stages around the world. In 2017, the Theater unveiled its third year-round venue, The Yard at Chicago Shakespeare, with an innovative design that has changed the shape of theater-making. Together with the Jentes Family Courtyard Theater and the Thoma Theater Upstairs at Chicago Shakespeare, The Yard positions CST as the city’s most versatile performing arts venue. Chicago Shakespeare’s year-round season features as many as twenty productions and 650 performances—including plays, musicals, world premieres, and visiting international presentations—to engage a broad, multigenerational audience of 225,000 community members. Recognized in 2014 in a White House ceremony hosted by First Lady Michelle Obama, CST’s education programs support literacy and creativity for 40,000 students each year. Each summer, 30,000 family audiences welcome the free Chicago Shakespeare in the Parks tour into their neighborhoods across the far north, west, and south sides of the city. The Theater is the leading producer of international work in Chicago and, touring its own plays across North America and abroad to Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and the Middle East, CST has garnered multiple accolades, including the prestigious Laurence Olivier Award. Emblematic of its role as a global theater, CST spearheaded Shakespeare 400 Chicago, a yearlong international arts and culture festival, which engaged an estimated 1.1 million people through 863 events at 231 locations across the city in 2016—all in celebration of Shakespeare’s 400-year legacy. n BOARD OF DIRECTORS Steven J.

The juxtaposition of the monarchy’s absolute power and reputed omniscience set against the reality of their human frailty and emotional complexity makes for good drama. Today’s production of Schiller’s Mary Stuart explores a royal relationship that caused endless rumor and speculation during Shakespeare’s own time involving Queen Elizabeth I and her ill-fated cousin, Mary, Queen of Scots. This new version of the play by Peter Oswald offers audiences access to a fictitious meeting of these two rulers.

    OCTOBER 2016 Welcome to October Sky! We can’t imagine a more perfect show to give our 2016–2017 Season a great launch (if you’ll pardon the pun). New musicals are, of course, one of The Old Globe’s specialties, and the upcoming season is filled with exactly the kind of work the Globe does best. In this very theatre, you’ll have a chance to see a revival of Steve Martin’s hilarious Picasso at the Lapin Agile; the exciting backstage drama Red Velvet; and the imaginative, fable- like musical The Old Man and The Old Moon. And of course, we’re bringing back The Grinch for its 19th year! Across the plaza in the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, we hope you’ll join us for work by some of the most exciting voices in the American theatre today: award-winning actor/ songwriter Benjamin Scheuer (The Lion), Globe newcomer Nick Gandiello (The Blameless), the powerful and trenchant Dominique Morisseau (Skeleton Crew), and the ingenious Fiasco Theater, with their own particular spin on Molière’s classic The Imaginary Invalid. It’s a season we’re extremely proud and excited to share with all of you. DOUGLAS GATES Managing Director Michael G. Murphy and Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. We’re also proud to welcome the outstanding creative team that has made October Sky a reality. Director/choreographer Rachel Rockwell is an artist whose work we’ve long admired, whose skill in staging is matched by her deft touch with actors. She’s truly a perfect fit for this heartwarming and triumphant show.

  • Hegel's Theory of Tragic Heroes
    HEGEL’S THEORY OF TRAGIC HEROES: THE HISTORICAL PROGRESS OF SUBJECTIVITY A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Rachel C. Falkenstern May 2016 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Kristin Gjesdal, Advisory Chair, Philosophy Dr. Susan Feagin, Philosophy Dr. Espen Hammer, Philosophy Dr. Paul Kottman, External Member, Comparative Literature and Philosophy, The New School for Social Research © Copyright 2016 by Rachel C. Falkenstern All Rights Reserved € ii ABSTRACT This dissertation argues that Hegel’s theory of tragedy is best understood in combination with his theory of the historical progress of subjective freedom, and that this progress is manifested as the heroes of tragic drama in its different stages of antiquity, early modernity, and late modernity. The truth of tragedy for Hegel, like the content of all art, progresses concomitantly with human freedom, reason, and subjectivity. Likewise, humanity’s self-understanding of these aspects of itself also historically progresses. In this light, I further argue that Hegel’s theory shows tragedy to be not only a historically contextualized cultural practice and form of self-understanding but also a presentation of absolute truth: the truth of a culture at a particular historical moment is presented in its tragedy, yet that culture is a part of a larger narrative, so that a common thread running through tragic drama of all eras comes to light when tragedy is examined through the lens of Hegel’s philosophy. Specifically, I show that Hegel views self-contradiction, alienation, and the drive to reconcile these as underlying universal human conditions, and in tragedy this universal truth is embodied in the tragic hero.

    pressinformation finboroughtheatre Lucifer Saved The world premiere of a new play by Finborough Theatre Playwright-in-Residence Peter Oswald Directed by Reuben Grove. Designed by Louie Whitemore. Lighting by Scott McMullin. Music by Alastair Putt. Cast: Penelope Dimond. Richard Franklin. Ria Jones. Jacob Krichefski. Tom Sangster. Pericles Snowdon. Liana Weafer. The world premiere of a new play by Peter Oswald, Finborough Theatre Playwright-in-Residence, opens on 30 October 2007 for a four week run as part of the multi-award-winning Finborough Theatre’s [ new work season 2007 ]. Lucian Willow has a dark past; so dark he can’t remember it. Twenty years after the end of the Second World War, a former Army Chaplain lives in a state of amnesia on his old comrade Lord Brook’s country estate, deep in the slumbering fields of England. The arrival of a circus from across the channel - with its anarchic forces of magic and comedy - impels these wounded men to confront their horrifying and entangled past. Written in verse and prose, Lucifer Saved is an astonishing interweaving of modern story and Christian myth, of tragedy and comedy, by the UK’s foremost verse playwright. Peter Oswald was writer-in-residence at the Globe Theatre where his plays The Storm, The Golden Ass and Augustine’s Oak were all produced. In 2005, his version of Schiller’s Mary Stuart, directed by Phyllida Lloyd, transferred to the West End after a sell-out run at the Donmar Warehouse. Other London credits include The Odyssey and Shakuntala (Gate Theatre), Dona Rosita: The Spinster (Almeida), Fair Ladies at a Game of Poem Cards (National Theatre), and Don Carlos (Lyric).
