Inspiring Imagination Helps Feed the Future Inspiring imagination helps feed the future While our business is built on crop inputs and insights, we know our communities grow from imagination and inspiration. Nutrien is proud to sponsor Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan. www.nutrien.com Photo credit: 2012 Tourism Saskatoon 2 SHAKESPEARE ONTHE SASKATCHEWAN A MESSAGE FROM THE ARTISTIC PRODUCER WILL BROOKS Welcome to Treaty 6 territory and the homeland of the Métis. Whether you have been in the audience of every single production of Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan in the last 34 years or this is your first time under these tents – welcome, from myself and the entire team. It is certainly an honour for me to get to work with this fantastic Shakespeare on the Sask family and to create a festival for such an amazing audience. One of the pleasures that we have this year is to expand to three shows! It may not be every year that we get to do this so I would highly encourage you take advantage of it. It means that we have the pleasure of two amazing new guest directors – huge shout outs to Kelli and Greg. It also means that we get to take some more adventurous risks with our adaptation of Titus and bring you something completely outside the box. You have surely caught wind of our exciting plans for the site redevelopment and will see much more on that as we get closer and closer to putting a shovel in the ground. Check out our renderings, consider supporting the campaign, and get ready for a whole new level of Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan with that same great festival atmosphere. I want to thank all of the previous staff and leadership that got Shakespeare on the Sask to this amazing health where we could embark on this, and thank you as well the board members, staff, and volunteers now and in the past who have put immense effort into making these site plans come to this point. The folks who enjoy the next 50 years of Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan and indeed the entire community will benefit from that hard work. As a director and designer, I must say that working on Titus A. puppet revenge has been of the most challenging and rewarding shows that I have ever had the fortune of working on. I am a believer in long artistic processes, innovative ways to combine Shakespeare’s brilliance and the modern world, and of artistic partnerships that allow for possibilities that no partner could achieve on their own. This show really epitomizes those things for me and is a poignant comment on our times. We have been working on this show for two years and the artistic leaders of it have been dreaming about it for decades in some cases. It was important for us as an organization to create this third offering as a place where we could take a risk and try to offer something truly unique. We have tried to be true to that and hope you take a risk with us and see where this goes. My deepest thanks go to Kristi and Crispi of Stumped Productions for being risk takers on this adventurous partnership with us and for the incredible amount of work, dedication, and heart that they put into making this happen. DIRECTORS NOTES – HAMLET KELLI FOX If it be now, ‘tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come. The readiness is all. Shakespeare tests us all as artists. With his best efforts, with plays like Hamlet, all we can do is attempt to rise to the genius of the text before us. Scholar Harold Bloom has famously claimed that Hamlet himself, as a character, represents the “Invention of the Human” on the stage. But all the characters in this play are enormously complex and contain a multitude of possible interpretations. In coming to this play as a director I knew I did not want to choose a historical period that would force strained justifications. And I wanted to see if we could use the fact that we have gender parity on our casting, to explore the story from a fresh perspective. So, we have pushed the story 35 years into the future. The gender politics that are always there to be contended with are still there, but we have a different balance of power; which of course, just leaves us open to a different kind of power imbalance. Ophelia is stronger than we are used to seeing her, just enough to walk recklessly into danger by a different route. We have a Laertes whose claim for vengeance is based less in historic male honour, than in abiding familial devotion and a sense of betrayal. Our Polonius is a mother, whose concern for both of her children may supersede her own ambition. And, of course, Hamlet himself must be re-examined in such a society. We explore this territory not to attempt to improve on Shakespeare’s art, but to see what else it might reveal to us in a new context. DIRECTORS NOTES – THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR GREG OCHITWA The Merry Wives of Windsor is a play about daily life. Of all his plays, it stands out because Shakespeare decided to shine his magical light on the ‘middle class’. He undoubtedly had a masterful understanding, and way of presenting regal worlds filled with queens and kings, but Merry Wives shows that he was equally adept at holding up the mirror for a more regular and common kind of human. With this play in particular, it seems like Shakespeare crafted a story inspired by his community. Following his lead, we decided to do the same. Drawing inspiration from the text, the artists in the company, and the people in our community and province, this is The Merry Wives of our world today. It’s a funnily familiar world, filled full with friends, fights, lies, laughter, and love. It’s a world that’s been crafted by an all star team of huge hearted artists, with you specifically in mind. And, because of this amazing group of humans, it’s a world that I’ve been happily escaping to for the past few months. Tonight, it’s your turn to escape. Welcome to our Windsor. SHAKESPEARE ONTHE SASKATCHEWAN 3 A MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD CHAIR RICK EWEN Welcome to the 34th year of Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan Festival! Be sure to enjoy all of our productions from the long-time favourite The Merry Wives of Windsor to the tragedy Hamlet, a particular favourite for our audiences, and this year promises to be no different. And don’t forget that we are presenting Titus Andronicus, Shakespeare’s first play. Just to make sure this special event is unforgettable, we have partnered with Stumped Productions, and the entire performance will be provided by puppets – 45 of them – the like of which you have never seen before! This is an incredible opportunity that most people will never have – a rare play and a unique delivery – don’t miss it! Last year, we reversed the position of our performance tent to its current location at the north end of our site and had excellent feedback. So, in light of that, we are very pleased to continue with this configuration. And speaking of the site – the last two years have seen a lot of behind the scenes work as we prepare to renovate the grounds. Over the decades, our Festival site has been developed on an as-needed basis, with infrastructure added to meet developing needs. We are planning to undertake a major overhaul, which will address many issues all at once – and prepare the site for the long term. We will be redeveloping on the existing site, with a concrete base and risers – and yes, still with a tent overhead; new artist change building, combination administration and bar building, fresh permanent slabs for our community stage and break-out tents; and proper utilities and infrastructure. We are partnering with the MVA on pathway and natural scaping plans, which will result in the site – long closed to the public except when the Festival is active – being open year-round. We are working with the City to ask them to upgrade the washrooms across from our site, and development of a long-needed drop-off area for our audience and other users of the Meewasin Trail and area attractions. And – there’s lots to talk about – we have received proposals on an innovative and spectacular site lighting scheme, which we hope will develop into a significant area attraction. We are all very thankful for the dedication and hard work of our staff, cast and crew, volunteers, board members and of course, our sponsors. Each plays a vital role in creating the unique experience that enchants audiences year after year. We could not possibly be successful without each and every one of their contributions. Above all, welcome and thanks to you, our audience and our supporters. In our 34th performance year, I am sure you will agree that Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan continues to be the summer’s marquis performance event in our city and our province.

  • ANDREW GOSLING 26Th October 1944
    ! " ANDREW GOSLING" 26th October 1944 - 11th May 2016" A PERSONAL APPRECIATION OF HIS LIFE BY IAN KEILL" I first met Andrew Gosling in 1970 when he edited a less than reverential film I made about William Wordsworth for “Late Night Line-Up”. After that he collaborated with me on many productions - first as film editor, then as director - for over twenty-five years. We became a sort of Ant-and- Dec-Behind-the-Camera." He was a man of great talent and enormous charm. Someone who could be relied on to come up with the goods with the least amount of fuss. In all the time I worked with him we rarely had a disagreement. It was a very happy and fruitful partnership." Andrew was educated at Eton - a fact that he played down all his life. He never used his school- ing as a stepping stone to anything … he made his way in life the way he wanted. Simply. Gen- tly. However, during his time at Eton he directed a stage production of T. S. Elliot’s “Murder in the Cathedral”. This was well received, and it resulted in him securing a place at the Oxford Play- house. There then followed work at the Century travelling theatre - an incredible set-up present- ing plays from a set of lumbering wagons trailing from town to town all over the North of England. Here he did anything and everything associated with being an ‘Assistant Stage Manager and Small Parts’." In the 1960s he decided to change course, and became a film editor at Associated Redi$usion.

  • MONTY PYTHON at 50 , a Month-Long Season Celebra
    Tuesday 16 July 2019, London. The BFI today announces full details of IT’S… MONTY PYTHON AT 50, a month-long season celebrating Monty Python – their roots, influences and subsequent work both as a group, and as individuals. The season, which takes place from 1 September – 1 October at BFI Southbank, forms part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the beloved comedy group, whose seminal series Monty Python’s Flying Circus first aired on 5th October 1969. The season will include all the Monty Python feature films; oddities and unseen curios from the depths of the BFI National Archive and from Michael Palin’s personal collection of super 8mm films; back-to-back screenings of the entire series of Monty Python’s Flying Circus in a unique big-screen outing; and screenings of post-Python TV (Fawlty Towers, Out of the Trees, Ripping Yarns) and films (Jabberwocky, A Fish Called Wanda, Time Bandits, Wind in the Willows and more). There will also be rare screenings of pre-Python shows At Last the 1948 Show and Do Not Adjust Your Set, both of which will be released on BFI DVD on Monday 16 September, and a free exhibition of Python-related material from the BFI National Archive and The Monty Python Archive, and a Python takeover in the BFI Shop. Reflecting on the legacy and approaching celebrations, the Pythons commented: “Python has survived because we live in an increasingly Pythonesque world. Extreme silliness seems more relevant now than it ever was.” IT’S… MONTY PYTHON AT 50 programmers Justin Johnson and Dick Fiddy said: “We are delighted to share what is undoubtedly one of the most absurd seasons ever presented by the BFI, but even more delighted that it has been put together with help from the Pythons themselves and marked with their golden stamp of silliness.

  • The Honourable Scott
    President’s Address SARM’s 2020 Annual Convention began with opening ceremonies and an address from SARM President Ray Orb. His address touched on several issues important to rural Saskatchewan. President Orb welcomed delegates to the 2020 Annual Convention with special recognition to Senator Roland Crowe, former Chief of the FSIN, former Chief of Piapot First Nations, as well as President Orb’s neighbor. Mr. Crowe was recognized for his commitment to the betterment of the First Nations people and to the province of Saskatchewan receiving the Saskatchewan Order of Merit in 1985. Roland initiated meetings with SARM, and business leaders in this province, to discuss common interests with the idea of creating a path forward for all of us. President Orb expressed the importance of municipal cooperation and collaboration, promoting the power of working with our rural, urban, and First Nations neighbors. He also shared SARM’s disappointment with SUMA’s proposed name change indicating SARM will not stand in the way of RMs working together to form municipal districts, but SARM will still stand up for rural municipalities when we believe their best interests aren’t being served. The name Municipalities of Saskatchewan implies that there is only one municipal association in this province representing all municipalities, which simply is not true. Saskatchewan is diverse. We have urban municipalities. And we have rural municipalities. We have SARM and SUMA and we believe that’s the way it should be. We champion the value of rural Saskatchewan and understand the unique challenges and opportunities that exist in our RMs.
