Artist Statement on The Book of Magdalene by Caridad Svich It started with the idea of writing a book for the stage, or should I say, a “book” in the Biblical use of the word. In quar times but even before quar times, I have been thinking about the figure of Mary Magdalene. And this was before FKA Twigs’ album, although its presence in the world certainly stirred her up again THE BOOK OF MAGDALENE for me.

I look through my notes from two years ago. The name “Magdalene” and after by CARIDAD SVICH it, “possible play.” So, what’s it about, and what I am pondering in its making?

I am thinking about old times and new times smashed together and sinner- Directed by AMELIA RICO saints for a contemporary (post-contemporary) age? A play about a Magdalene called Len sometimes that is holding together a life made of bits of memory, With hard work, sex work, and dreams of faith – and what in heck faith means in the MARIAM ALBISHAH Set Design ...... AFSANEH AAYANI modern age. A story about how we get through the night – in a larger sense but ANDREA BORONELL Costume Design ...... VICTORIA NICOLETTE GIST told in glimpses and snapshots – arrested by time, even as the play moves forward. A series of duets that escalate in urgency, and through the rubble of PABLO BRACHO Lighting Design ...... GREY STARBIRD the future now finds a future. A “book” of a life at a particular moment in time MARIA SCHENCK Properties Design ...... RODNEY WALSWORTH wherein Magdalene encounters the people that make up her life, and maybe even encounters too strangers she never knew she’d ever meet outside of work. JENNIFER WANG Sound Design ...... JANEL BADRINA A story of secrets and care-giving and letting go. A story of deep friendships, Production Stage Manager ...... MEGAN BROOKS yearning and a land without touch, and one too of forgotten stations of the everyday – otherwise known as “ordinary life.” Initial Digital Premiere I am thinking too of a huge role for a female lead. So, on a practical level, even This presentation was produced by special arrangement with Elaine Devlin Literary, Inc. in a play with four to five other womxn, a big ol role at the center, where a fab actor can hold our attention. Just cos it’s cool when that happens, and it still doesn’t happen as often as it should. MainStage Season Sponsors This is a play too that lives temperamentally in a kind of neon-drenched night world where the neon is rubbed out and flickering and not as bright as it could be – like one of those old casino signs in Las Vegas in the famous junkyard of 2020-2021 MainStage (capitalist) signs. It’s a world where Magdalene walks the outlier/outcast’s Premier Season Sponsor terrain and seeks the power of sacrament in the heroic every-day stuff of stuff

between people: human relations rather than human capital. The Humphreys Foundation Does Magdalene get an ending to her life or a new beginning? Do we start Production Sponsor again or get a deep cut from the files of olden days and replay them again? Does it smell like power, love and desire or the sweat and labour of just getting up one more time on the path to grace? Or both? What’s the renaissance of the future now look like in the future? And who gets the bennies? Or does the same cycle of inequity carry on “as usual?” A quote that I have been thinking about from Simone Weil (philosopher, poet, mystic, socialist, activist, visionary) in relationship to this play: “Redemptive suffering is the shadow of the pure good we desire. A hurtful act is the transference to others of the degradation which

we bear in ourselves. That is why we are inclined to commit such acts as a way of deliverance. All crime is a transference of the evil in him who acts to him who Rebecca Greene Udden Andrew Ruthven Executive Artistic Director MainStage Associate Artistic Director undergoes the result of the action.” Can we consider a world where such deliverance is not par for the course? Could Magdalene’s way hold an answer? The Cast Who’s Who Len ...... Jennifer Wang Ru/Reveler ......
