Wild Oats: A Rare Comic Treat A Note from the Founding Artistic Director

I have known something about the play Wild Oats almost as long as I’ve been involved with theater.

Ian Gallanar. Photo by Theatre Barbara Blackledge, one of my two acting teachers in Consultants Collaborative Inc. college (Indiana University of Pennsylvania), played Lady Amaranth in a noted production at the Classic Stage Com- pany in New York in the late ‘70s. It was, as far as anyone could tell, the fi rst time the play had been done in the United States in over a century and it was a big hit.

Also, some of my earliest professional credits were acting with a summer stock company that my teacher Barb co-managed. For three summers, I worked with many members of that famous Wild Oats cast. The man who remains my acting superhero of all time, Noble Shropshire, was in the cast and wrote original music for this production that was given a rave review by Time magazine. All of these actors spoke about the play with great aff ection.

But I never read it. In those pre-Amazon days, it was sometimes almost impossible to fi nd copies of obscure works. As Shakespeare companies in England and America continued performing Wild Oats, however, the play became easier to fi nd.

Last year, I was looking for a broad comedy from this era and picked Wild Oats from my shelf. This is something I will often do -- pick a book from my shelf and try to discover (or re-discover) classic plays.

Something that I don’t often do is laugh out loud while I am reading these plays.

Wild Oats made me laugh. I admired (and currently admire) the inventiveness of the play. I enjoyed meeting each and every new character-- each one as imaginative as the last, and I was surprised more than once by the plot.

That is indeed rare. I am used to unique and inventive plots. I work with Shakespeare, after all.

I put Wild Oats on the schedule for this season because I so want to share this wonderful play with all of you. I think you’ll like it, and that’s not bad for a play that’s more than 200 years old that you’ve never heard of. Thanks for giving this play a chance.

Best wishes to you and your family,

Ian Gallanar Founding Artistic Director

Wild Oats 3 My Heart Is Ever at Your Service A Note from CSC’s Managing Director

As you probably know if you’ve been here before, we spend a lot Lesley Malin. Photo by of time thinking about how Chesapeake Shakespeare is part of the Teresa Castracane. larger community—our place in it, whom we are serving, and how we can serve people diff erently or better.

Our most important outreach eff ort starts this month with our second season of Romeo and Juliet school-day matinees. We make these performances available to middle- and high- school classes from all the schools in the region, and home school groups as well. Last year we served almost 4,000 students. This year’s Romeo and Juliet matinees will run from March 21 to May 5, and there are still plenty of openings available. Thanks to generous underwriters, we are able to off er free admission to some Baltimore City Public Schools, and we continue to seek funding for that purpose as the matinees approach. (I’d be thrilled to talk with you if you’re interested in sponsoring a performance!) These student audiences are some of the most responsive and enthusiastic we ever encounter and we can’t wait to get started for another year.

April marks the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death. Shakespeare companies all over the globe are honoring his life through performances and other events. Here at CSC, we are celebrating his “deathday” (as I have been calling it) with a wake entitled Shakespeare Is Still Dead. On April 23, after our Saturday evening performance of Macbeth, we will remember the Bard of Avon with music, drunken orations, a brawl, and lots of over-dramatic emotion. Join us for a classically CSC ridiculous remembrance of our originator—it’s free, too!

Other merry/useful/uplifting outreach eff orts this season include: our teaching residencies in 12 middle and high schools throughout the spring; and our participation with Baltimore’s Light City Festival, with a March 28 daytime public performance of Romeo and Juliet (think of all those light metaphors—“Juliet is the sun,” “More light and light it grows, more dark and dark our woes,” and “Come, Romeo, come thou Day in Night”). We’ll also welcome in our theater a TEDxYouth conference for high schoolers on April 1. There’s more: a Benromach Scotch Tasting on April 21 for our Macbeth fans who like a tipple.

We love to say yes to new ideas where we can share our talents and our time with our community, so plan on some additional events showing up in your emails. Still, our favorite way to connect is to do wonderful plays for you. We’re glad you’ve chosen to spend some of your cherished time with us, today, in being part of our community

Wild Oats 5 Program Notes Wild Oats: Synopsis The naval captain Sir George Thunder and his boatswain John Dory arrive at a country house while hunting for deserters. They discover that it is the home of Thunder’s niece, Amaranth, who lives as a Quaker as a condition of her inheritance. Another Quaker, Ephraim Smooth, monitors her. Sir George believes Amaranth would be a fi ne match for his son, Harry. However, the young man is truant from the naval academy at Portsmouth.

Sir George sends Dory to fi nd Harry, who has joined a traveling theatre troupe and befriended an actor called Jack Rover. Rover’s travels take him to the countryside near Amaranth’s house. Arriving in a storm, he seeks shelter with her neighbors, who are having a dispute: neighbor Gammon, a farmer, is trying to impoverish his tenant Banks, in order to marry Banks’ sister Amelia.

Rover pays part of Banks’ debt to Gammon, and sets off for the London coach. Realizing he has no money left, he instead takes employment with a new troupe. He meets Dory, who mistakes him for Harry. Rover plays along. When he meets Amaranth, Rover falls in love. Over Ephraim’s objections, she invites Rover’s troupe to perform at her house, and agrees to play Rosalind to Rover’s Orlando in As You Like It.

Sir George learns that Harry is wooing Amaranth as hoped. The real Harry arrives, amid great confusion. Harry permits Rover to continue the deception, and adds new twists to further obscure the truth, roping in an unwitting Sir George.

When Amaranth announces that she loves Harry – he’s not Harry. To unravel the whole truth, many must be unmasked.

Meet the Playwright: John O’Keeﬀ e John O’Keeff e (1747 –1833) was an Irish actor and dramatist who wrote farces, dramatic pieces and librettos for operas, many of which had great success. Among these are Tony Lumpkin in Town (1778), Love in a Camp (1786), Omai (1785), and Wild Oats (1791). He was the most produced playwright in London in the last part of the 18th Century.

He was born in Dublin to Catholic parents and was educated by Jesuits. He studied art at an Academy in Dublin, but grew increasingly more interested in the theatre. After a trip to London, where he became an admirer of David John O’Keeﬀ e Garrick, he settled on a career as an actor and playwright. O’Keeffe wrote his Courtesy Folger Shakespeare Library first play, The She Gallant, when he was 20, and it was performed in Dublin at the Smock Alley Theatre.

In 1777, O’Keeff e moved to London. The following year he wrote Tony Lumpkin in Town, a sequel to Oliver Goldsmith’s She Stoops to Conquer, and sent it to the manager of the Haymarket Theatre. The play was successfully produced, and O’Keeff e regularly wrote for the Haymarket thereafter. O’Keeff e contributed many Irish folksongs to comic operas, such as I am a Friar of Orders Grey and The Thorn, that are still popular.

He died in 1833 in Southampton and was buried there. In the 19th century, essayist William Hazlitt described O’Keeff e as the “English Molière”, observing “in light, careless laughter and pleasant exaggeration of the humorous, we have no equal to him.”

Sources Kathryn M. Moncrief, dramaturg; Bristol Old Vic; Royal Shakespeare Company; C. Blackberd engraving, 1797 6 Wild Oats Royal Shakespeare Company, Teresa Castracane Teresa Company, Shakespeare Royal The “strolling gentleman” Jack Rover, portrayed by the British actor Edward Compton and by our Vince Eisenson: During much of the early 18th Century, it was illegal in England to perform as an itinerant actor. Though classed as vagabonds (legitimate theaters operated with permits) and sometimes regarded with suspicion, traveling actors and troupes found work in the countryside. Quotable Shakespeare “I am the bold Thunder,” Jack Rover announces. He then fi nds himself mistaken for a man by that name. Wild Oats playwright John O’Keeff e excels at this game: Throughout the play, his Jack spouts lines from other works for the stage. Today, of course, many of those plays are unfamiliar.

“I am the bold Thunder,” for example, is a quote from a play called The Rehearsal (1671), a satire in which Thunder (male) and Lightning (female) are characters. To our delight, Shakespeare’s works are liberally quoted (and frequently misquoted) by quick-witted Jack. Here are a few samples:

Jack Rover Shakespeare

“Hear nature, dear goddess, hear, if ever “Hear, Nature, hear, dear goddess, hear!/ you design to make his corn-fi eld fertile, change Suspend thy purpose if thou didst intend/ To your purpose; that from the blighted ears no make this creature fruitful./ Into her womb grains may fall, to fat his stubble goose.” convey sterility.” -Lear, King Lear

“‘tis meat and drink for me to see a clown” Touchstone, As You Like It

“Yet my love indeed is appetite; I’m as hungry “But mine is all as hungry as the sea,/ as the sea, I can digest as much.” And can digest as much.” -Orsino, Twelfth Night

“To a nunnery, go—to a nunnery, go, go” “Get thee to a nunnery, go.” -Hamlet, Hamlet

“Though love cool, friendship fall off , “Love cools, friendship falls off , brothers divide. brothers divide, subjects rebel, oh, never let the In cities, mutinies; in countries, discord; sacred bond be crack’d betwixt son and father. in palaces, treason; and the bond cracked Thou art an honest reptile—” ‘twixt son and father.” - Gloucester, King Lear

The Hampshire Dialect

Wild Oats was fi rst performed in 1791, a time in which regional dialects were still common across classes. “Received Pronunciation” (the standard upper-class British ENGLAND dialect we recognize from Downton Abbey) was just beginning to be- come popular but was by no means universal. We have chosen mainly to use the Hampshire dialect from WALES the southern region of England. LONDON Portsmouth, a major Hampshire city, was one of the most important ANDOVER ports for the Royal Navy. Andover WINCHESTER and Winchester, nearby cities in the

Hampshire region, are mentioned PORTSMOUTH in the text. As dialect refl ects a HAMPSHIRE range of characteristics, including age, education, class, and locale, Source: Wikipedia our actors are using a range of dialects to indicate their characters.

For instance, Jack Rover, not a Hampshire local, young, and with a quick actor’s ear and a need to appear posh, uses the RP dialect. Lady Amaranth, young, educated, and from Hampshire, is using a Hampshirized RP. Sir George Thunder, educated and older, uses the Hampshire dialect but a less extreme version. Farmer Gammon’s uneducated, rural family goes all-in for the Full Hampshire. We hope you enjoy listening to this relatively unfamiliar dialect.

The Chesapeake Shakespeare Company creates performances and education programs out of great classic theater. Classic plays can be awfully good, but only if they speak to their audience and the community in a way that is dynamic, personal, and pleasurable. We do plays that people like and we perform them in innovative and intimate ways that intensify the connection between audiences and artists. We do this because we want to know what makes Shakespeare so great — and we ask our audience and our community to explore that question alongside us. Chesapeake Shakespeare Company is a 501c3 nonprofi t organization.
