Directors’ Notes MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING THE TWO NOBLE KINSMEN I do love nothing in the world so well as you- is not that strange? This is a play about connections: a person and their philosophy, -Benedick Act IV, Scene I their past, their responsibilities, their friends, their family, their loves. These connections are the result of an individual’s I love this play. For years I have been asking Erin Day when we decisions. So many of Shakespeare’s works examine the would see it again in the GreenStage season, and oh by the landscape of the mind in making a decision and the tumult it way, I’d love to direct. So, before I say anything more, I want to causes that person. This play is different. The most succinct and say thank you. Thank you Erin for trusting me with this jewel and intuitive piece of writing I found in my research of this play puts thank you to everyone involved with GreenStage. it best:

So, why do I love this play? It has everything: the young lovers, “Two Noble Kinsmen is not primarily about psychology the witty lovers, the devious brother and his pals, the silly foil, of character or the moral implications of choices made the caring father, the good-natured prince and ladies who speak or declined. It is about the resolution of an apparently their minds. And don’t forget music, dancing, a wedding and a irresolvable dilemma and the passions that dilemma funeral. It is the kitchen sink of Shakespearean Comedy. generates.” - Patricia Tatspaugh

As a director, the challenge is in giving weight to each of these Having moved past the moment of decision, we are able to see aspects and driving the play at a good pace. Ultimately we are how the ramifications of a decision continue to spread outward. here to tell a story. At the root of this story is the foundation of We see one choice affecting many others and their own any good relationship, trust, and how our love can be lost when connections. People question their past, burn bridges, draw new trust is lost. lines, forge new futures. It is a fascinating look at what it means to be a person. Ultimately this play is about us and what we’ve “For it falls out decided is important. What have you tied yourself to? That what we have we prize not to the worth Whiles we enjoy it, but being lacked and lost, – Ryan Higgins Why, then we rack the value, then we find The virtue that possession would not show us While it was ours.” – Friar, Act IV, Scene I BACKYARD BARD I never understood why Claudio falls for Borachio and Don The Two Gentlemen of Verona and Macbeth come from John’s ruse. Doesn’t he trust Hero? Don’t Don Pedro and vastly different ends of Shakespeare’s canon. Claudio feel that something must be off here? But the older I get the more I know it is true: we trust our eyes above all. They Two Gents is one of Shakespeare’s earliest comedies, and is see the deception, and once we see something it is almost filled with rhyming couplets, witty banter, and the seeds of some impossible to break us of the idea that what we saw is the truth. of Shakespeare’s greatest characters and themes. It is also seen As a cast member put it, when we put someone on a pedestal, by some as a troublesome play due to some slightly vague text it is surprisingly easy to knock them down (thanks, Lorrie). in the final scene. The interpretation of this text has taken wildly And so I have come to love Claudio and his humanness and different turns over the years, sometimes going to the point of Shakespeare for finding a way to make it right with a Hero taking this light, silly comedy into a very dark and tragic place. reborn and a man who learns that if you trust your heart above With this production, we’re sticking to the comedy, and I hope all, then love will follow. your experience with it will bring smiles and laughter.

– Amelia Meckler Bowers Macbeth is on the other end of the Shakespeare spectrum, and is one of the greatest tragic plays in the English language. The Macbeths are arguably one of Shakespeare’s happiest married couple, but their desire for power takes them on a fast paced ride into a madhouse. Lady Macbeth faces an internal madness fueled by the guilt of their actions. Macbeth is faced with fighting of real and imagined threats to his crown and sanity. Neither one of them sleeps very well at night. Let it be a lesson to you that there are always unseen consequences to your actions if you choose to blindly believe the prophesies of wild and weird women on the heath.
