4 A message from the Artistic Director
Welcome,
Twenty-five years is a long time. Much has happened in that time. A long-held dream was accomplished. Many good friends and many talented people have been here for a time, and then moved on. Some have returned, and some cannot. By now, some who were children when the Festival began are returning to the Festival as adults. Some even bring their own children. Those of us who have been here for a while can measure our own maturity as the summers fly by. And what a privilege it is to measure whatever wisdom living brings upon the extraordinary wisdom of Shakespeare. Twenty-two summers ago, when I first came to Bloomington-Normal to perform in this Festival, I had no idea of its impact on my life. In that summer of 1980 the Festival first produced A Midsummer Nights Dream and Romeo and Juliet. We have produced these plays a couple of times since then, but not in the same summer. In 1980 I remember with great pleasure how well they fit together in repertory: a wonderful Dream one night, and sublime, passionate tragedy the next. On one night there was unparalleled joy and inspired silliness, and on the next desperate longing and astonishingly beautiful words. That summer made its mark on me, and this twenty fifth season partly tries to recall the Festivals early years. Karen Kessler, who directed The Taming of the Shrew, (noted for some of its own joy and inspired silliness) returns to direct Midsummer. I am excited to direct Romeo and Juliet. Our third offering is a venture into some new territory. While we have produced The Merchant of Venice once before, the 2002 production will be directed by noted Israeli playwright and director Joshua Sobol. Our twenty-fifth season seemed to be the perfect time to bring this internationally celebrated author and director to us.
Welcome to our 25th season.

CARLON - there will be one 15-minute intermission - II ROMEO AND JULIET DIRECTOR'S NOTES There are many reasons why Romeo and Juliet has been Shakespeare's most popular tragedy, if not his most popular play. The lyricism of the language, the great comic characters of the Nurse and Mercutio, the extraordinary poetic passion of the lovers, and the incomparable humanity of Juliet are among the reasons most mentioned. Writes Harold Bloom: "Romeo and Juliet is unmatched, in Shakespeare and the world's literature, as a vision with which a young person will fully identify. I remember reading it aloud in school. Every generation will have its Romeo and Juliet. For mine, it was the Zefferelli film. More recently there is Baz Lurhmann's Romeo + Juliet. And, of course, there is West Side Story. Every generation will have its Romeo and Juliet because the play's powerful message and romantic beauty will be for ever contemporary. As long as we are human we will understand the depth of feeling, both roman- tic and tragic, of these two doomed lovers. Romeo and Juliet may certainly be a tragedy of "uncompromising mutual love," but Romeo's and Juliet's tragedy extends beyond them and their idealism and intensity. It is, after all, "their parents' strife" which makes Romeo's and Juliet's love so perilous. And it is their parents, both actual and surrogate, who must bear the largest measure of the tragic responsibility. Mother, father, nurse and friar, all of them fail Romeo and Juliet. As in all strife between peoples, it is up to the elders to find the courage to end it and to bury their hatred, before their children are harmed. Romeo and Juliet is also unmatched as a vision of a future where love replaces hate and the tragic con sequences upon young people when adults fail them.

Though yet, heaven knows, it is but as a tomb Which hides your life and shows not halfyour parts. If I could write the beauty ofyour eyes And in fresh numbers number all your graces, The age to come would say 'This poet lies: Such heavenly touches ne'er touch 'd earthly faces.' So should my papers yellow'd with their age Be scorn'd like old men ofless truth than tongue, And your true rights be term'd a poet's rage And stretched metre ofan antique song: But were some child ofyours alive that time, You should live twice; in it and in my rhyme. - Sonnet 17 First Edition is proud to be a sponsor of the 2002 Illinois Shakespeare Festival 51 .
