Department of English Publications. 192. https://ir.lib.uwo.ca/englishpub/192 Realism and the Ethics of Risk at the Stratford Shakespeare Festivali The Duchess and her woman die There’s a story about the death of the Duchess of Malfi and her woman, Cariola, at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival. In 2006, Peter Hinton, the current Artistic Director of the English company at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa and someone known for creating unique, challenging work at the Festival, directed The Duchess of Malfi on Stratford’s Tom Patterson stage; the production that emerged redefined “risk” for a classical company many scholars and popular critics have long characterized as notoriously risk-averse. Its aesthetic was Renaissance Goth, complete with eerie soundscape, low lighting, and heavily stylized costumes (including couture-like exaggerated farthingales); the show began dark (much to the chagrin of reviewers) and grew only darker. As actress Laura Condlln (Cariola) noted to me in an interview in July 2010, this was a world of utter savagery, a world in which nobody – not even audiences – could be safe. While the only previous Duchess at Stratford (in 1971, directed by Jean Gascon and starring Pat Galloway) had been characterized by a “pretty” aesthetic (Peacock, Personal interview), this one was, above all else, deeply unsettling.

It is a great privilege to gather and share stories on this beautiful territory, which has been the site of human activity — and therefore storytelling — for many thousands of years. We wish to honour the ancestral guardians of this land and its waterways: the Anishinaabe, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Wendat, and the Attiwonderonk. Today many Indigenous peoples continue to call this land home and act as its stewards, and this responsibility extends to all peoples, to share and care for this land for generations to come.

FAINER 2 DIRECTOR’S NOTES COMETS IN THE SKY BY CAREY PERLOFF At the beginning of my directing career, I had the good fortune to be in rehearsal with Harold Pinter, who took me aside one day and said, “If you respond so strongly to my stuff, perhaps it’s time for you to direct Noël Coward.” It has taken thirty years for me to follow his advice, but as soon as I got into the room with Coward’s forensic language and his desperate, hilarious, love-sick characters, I understood what Pinter meant. It is often assumed that Coward’s world is a kind of brittle upper-class exercise in style, but (as is the case with Pinter) the gorgeous surface of his language belies a kind of existential and chaotic despair but hailing originally from a poor and underneath. “Expert use of language is anonymous background. So everything in to me a perpetual joy,” Coward averred; his theatrical universe is invention and role- in particular, he was a master at language playing. Every moment exists to question that conceals as much as it reveals, that the status quo. His characters may say they protects the speaker from exposure or don’t believe in anything, but their feelings humiliation. run high.

Young (Philosophy) Committee member iii Abstract Supervisory Committee Professor Warwick Dobson (Theatre) Supervisor Professor Emeritus Carole Miller (Curriculum and Instruction) Committee member Professor Pamela Moss (Studies in Policy and Practice) Committee member Professor James O. Young (Philosophy) Committee member In this dissertation, I advance the question of what it means for applied theatre artists to give voice to the community members with whom they work. The study engages with some of the ethical and aesthetic tensions that emerge when one group of people (artists) is entrusted with giving dramatic form to the lived experience of another group (community members). The central premise of the dissertation is that when community participants increase their independent capacity to devise dynamic and compelling theatre, they achieve greater agency. Using a grounded theory analysis, I theorize qualities and characteristics that contribute to the staging of aesthetically arresting theatre, organized into a conceptual lexicon.
