For Immediate Release Media Contact: Amy Scott-Douglass May 22, 2009 202.547.3230 ext. 2312 [email protected] STACY KEACH RETURNS TO WASHINGTON TO STAR IN King Lear AT SHAKESPEARE THEATRE COMPANY JUNE 16-JULY 19 Remount of Critically-Acclaimed Production by Tony Award-winning Director Robert Falls WASHINGTON, D.C.— Two theatre greats—actor Stacy Keach and director Robert Falls—have teamed up to bring one of the most powerful dramas in Western literature to the Shakespeare Theatre Company. Keach will star in Falls’ remount of his critically-acclaimed production of King Lear at Sidney Harman Hall (610 F Street NW) from June 16 to July 19, 2009. Tony Award-winning director Falls’ provocative, graphic production captures both the stark violence and the devastating passion of Shakespeare's masterpiece. Seeking to place King Lear in “a very specific time and place,” Falls chose war-torn 1990s Yugoslavia as the setting. “I wanted to challenge myself,” says Falls, “into thinking about theatre and about life in a more immediate, contemporary, daring way.” When the production premiered at Chicago’s Goodman Theatre in 2006, The Chicago Tribune called it “a colossal, eye-popping operatic production,” and The New York Times proclaimed it one of the best productions of 2006. “It’s the production I’m most proud of in my career,” says Falls, “so I’m thrilled to be doing it at the Shakespeare Theatre Company.” Fresh off his Helen Hayes Award-winning performance in Frost-Nixon, Stacy Keach returns to STC to star as the tempestuous patriarch.

  • Representing History
    Representing History The Pianist To Kill A King Why use film? History is currently `in vogue’ with the media. Documentaries cover the five terrestrial channels, historical non-fiction tops the best selling charts and Simon Schama, Michael Wood and David Starkey are now superstar presenters. Time Team and Restoration positively encourage us to take a `hands on’ approach – we can now affect what happens to our heritage directly. Historical films are also as popular as ever, with Pirates of the Caribbean currently topping the UK Box Office (although historians may argue exactly which historical period it is from!) and there are still many costume drama classics that draw in audiences across the world. Films that attempt to show history are sometimes derided by historians and critics for their lack of accuracy and sometimes hilariously bad casting - John Wayne as Genghis Khan anyone? However, if we view historical films as documents to begin an investigation, and if we look at how the film itself works, as well as examining how it purports to tell us about the past, the result can be a rewarding and enjoyable journey. A film can capture a feeling for a time; can create a mood and a picture of the past that perhaps, with further historical research and examination of the other contemporary art forms (drama, literature, painting, music etc.) can make that world come to life. © Film Education 2003 1 Curriculum Links The case study films below have been chosen both for their specific links to historical topics but also because of their filmic interest, either as a new take on a particular subject or an innovative way of telling a story.

PHOTO: AMANDA FRIEDMAN FOR THE WALL STREET JOURNAL By Marc Myers April 16, 2019 1009 a.m. ET Stacy Keach, 77, is a stage, TV and movie actor who has starred in more than 75 films, including “Fat City” and “The Bourne Legacy.” He currently is on the CBS sitcom “Man With a Plan” and narrates CNBC’s “American Greed.” He spoke with Marc Myers. I was born on a pretty dramatic night in 1941. Soon after my mother went into labor at the hospital in Savannah, Ga., someone called looking for my father. Lightning had struck their house and the chimney was on fire. My father, Stacy Sr., sped home to check on the house. When he raced back, I had arrived. But there was a problem: I was born with a gap in my upper lip. I wound up having four operations to repair the cleft. My mother’s family in Texas paid for the surgeries. https://www.wsj.com/articles/stacy-keachs-rise-from-bullied-kid-to-screen-tough-guy-11555423781 1/5 4/16/2019 Stacy Keach’s Rise From Bullied Kid to Screen Tough Guy - WSJ My parents met at Northwestern University outside of Chicago in 1935, when my dad was finishing his master’s degree in drama.
