  • Remy Bumppo Presents the Chicago Premiere of Tom Stoppard's Award-Winning Comedy Heroes
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Stephanie Kulke / Ph: 773-244-8119 August 31, 2009 [email protected] REMY BUMPPO PRESENTS THE CHICAGO PREMIERE OF TOM STOPPARD’S AWARD-WINNING COMEDY HEROES CHICAGO – Remy Bumppo Theatre Company presents the Chicago premiere of Heroes, winner of the 2006 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy, written by Gerard Sibleyras and translated by Tom Stoppard. Heroes runs Oct. 14 through Nov. 29 in the Downstairs Mainstage of the Greenhouse Theater at 2257 N. Lincoln Avenue. Preview performances begin Thursday, Oct. 14 with opening night Sunday, Oct. 18 at 7:00 p.m. The Heroes cast features guest artist Mike Nussbaum making his Remy Bumppo debut, Artistic Associate David Darlow and guest artist Roderick Peeples. Heroes is directed by Remy Bumppo Artistic Director James Bohnen, with set design by Tim Morrison, costume design by Samantha C. Jones, lighting design by Rich Norwood, sound design by Jason Knox and properties design by Nick Heggestad. "I say we go...up that hill, where the poplars are. There where the wind blows...it's not a bad halfway house between Indochina and a picnic." - Heroes It's 1959 and Philippe, Gustave and Henri, three veterans from WWI keep each other company on the back terrace of a retired soldiers' home. Through a series of witty scenes, the men goad one another into new adventures. The men's cantankerous camaraderie becomes strained as they plot an expedition to Indochina, or at least as far as the poplar trees on the distant hill. Heroes is a funny and bittersweet play about memory and "not going gently into that good night." The 2009-2010 Season is made possible by Prince Charitable Trusts, The Gaylord & Dorothy Donnelley Foundation, The Illinois Arts Council and by a City Arts Program 3 grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs.

  • RACING DEMON by DAVID HARE
    GCE / A LEVEL RACING DEMON By DAVID HARE RACING DEMON DAVID HARE GCE \ A LEVEL \\ © WJEC CBAC Ltd 2016 RACING DEMON By DAVID HARE INTRODUCTION ‘Racing Demon’ was written in 1990 and premiered that same year at the National Theatre. The play takes place in South London in 1992, a time when the Church of England was in turmoil over the ordination of women and in trouble with the Tory government over a perceived lack of support. Part of a trio of plays about British institutions, it focuses on the Church of England, and tackles issues such as gay ordination and the role of evangelism in inner-city communities. It poses big questions. What does faith mean and what should a clergyman’s purpose be? Is a vicar little more than a spiritual social worker, applying ineffectual Elastoplast to society’s wounds? Or should he – and now she – be preaching a fundamentalist message of certainty and hope? It won the 1990 Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play and was nominated for a Tony. The other two plays in the trilogy were The Absence of War, which focuses on a contemporary Labour leader coming to the painful conclusion that he is unelectable and Murmuring Judges, which takes a look at the criminal justice system in England. A word from the author, David Hare, about Racing Demon. “I wrote the play because I wanted to take the Church of England seriously. Hitherto, it has just been a subject for satire and farce, on television and in the theatre. But, in the inner cities, Anglican vicars were among the few people trying to bandage all the wounds created by the harsh economic doctrines of the 1980s.

Allegedly, the deathbed statement of actor Edmund Kean was “Dying is easy; Comedy is hard.” The cast and crew of this production will undoubtedly agree with him! Onstage, backstage and in the booth, The 39 Steps is a technical monster with its innumerable changes of character, set, costumes, props, light and sound, and all involved have laboured mightily in an attempt to achieve the apparently effortless. We, the directors, have asked a lot of this amazingly focused company and we thank them for their boundless energy and wonderfully creative input. Perhaps there’s another quote that’s appropriately parallel; writer Nathaniel Hawthorne famously quipped: “Easy reading is damned hard writing!” Equally, comedy can only be achieved after seriously hard work!

Directors' Notes This is the fifth play that we have directed for Langham Court Theatre (Arcadia, The Dining Room, Racing Demon and Pack of Lies) and each one has been a joy. The Lady in the Van is proving equally rewarding to direct. The story of the play is, remarkably, a true one. For fifteen years, an older lady lived in a Bedford van parked in the driveway of one Alan Bennett, playwright. In explaining how Miss Shepherd was able to live on the neighbourhood streets for so long, Alan Bennett said, “There was a gap between our social position and our social obligations. It was in this gap that Miss Shepherd was able to live.” Onstage, we meet the lady, Miss Shepherd, a woman with pride, despite her destitute situation, and admirable resilience.

  • David Hare's the Great Exhibition Doç. Dr. Mehmet Takkaç
    Ç.Ü. Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü Dergisi, Cilt 15, Sayı 1, 2006, s.333-344 Individual Histories of Personal and Political Conflicts: David Hare’s The Great Exhibition Doç. Dr. Mehmet Takkaç Arş. Gör. Makbule Genç Atatürk Üniversitesi Atatürk Üniversitesi Kâzım Karabekir Eğitim Fakültesi Kâzım Karabekir Eğitim Fakültesi Yabancı Diller Eğitimi Bölümü Yabancı Diller Eğitimi Bölümü [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Human beings are individuals who are to live in societies. This condition may sometimes bring about some unavoidable problems to be faced by each individual. And it has almost been customary for individuals to put the blame for any defect within the society on politicians because they are expected to make every effort to organize particulars of life within their societies. The quality of life within a society and the nature of relations among citizens are believed to reflect the success or failure of politicians. David Hare, a modern British playwright, brings to the stage in The Great Exhibition the experience of a couple whose expectations from each other are not met properly due to the forces destroying their marriage. The play suggests that disillusioned individuals will naturally dampen the spirits of those around them. Key words: political dissatisfaction, marital relations, individual expectations ÖZET İnsanlar toplum içinde yaşamak zorunda olan canlılardır. Bu durum zaman zaman her bireyin karşılaşabileceği kaçınılmaz sorunları ortaya çıkarabilir. Bireyler ise, geleneksel olarak, toplum yaşamında karşılaştıkları sorunlar için, toplumlarının yaşamlarını düzenleme konusunda çaba göstermesi beklenen kişiler olan politikacıları suçlamışlardır. Toplumsal yaşam kalitesi ve bireyler arasındaki ilişkilerin doğası politikacıların başarısı ya da başarısızlığı olarak değerlendirilmektedir.
