REMEMBERING NICHOLAS MARTIN: 1938-2014 Former Artistic Director Nicholas Martin died on April 30, 2014 at age 75 in New York after battling a long illness. Martin directed 18 shows for the Huntington while serving as Artistic Director (2000-2008) and two after his departure (2009 and 2010). Among the most memorable were Dead End, his first, which featured a three-story set depicting a New York tenement onstage and a swimming pool standing in for the East River in the orchestra pit, and the joyous She Loves Me featuring Brooks Ashmanskas and Kate Baldwin, his last as Artistic Director. Other highlights include the acclaimed revivals of Hedda Gabler with Kate Burton, Butley with “I take solace in Nathan Lane, and Present Laughter with Victor Garber, all of which transferred to Broadway. knowing that his In 2004, his world premiere production of Melinda Lopez’s Sonia Flew inaugurated the Wimberly Theatre in the Stanford Calderwood Pavilion at the BCA. The first new theatre to be built in Boston in more than 75 years, Martin championed the new venue as a home DNA remains on for the Huntington’s new plays initiatives. Martin also supported the development of local writers with the creation of the Huntington Playwriting Fellows program, one of the our stages and initiatives the Tony Awards Administration Committee cited last year when awarding the in our company.” 2013 Regional Theatre Tony Award to the Huntington. The season after his tenure as artistic director ended, Martin returned to the Huntington – PETER DUBOIS to direct The Corn is Green with Kate Burton and her son Morgan Ritchie, Martin’s godson. In 2010 he returned once again to helm William Inge’s Bus Stop. “I loved Nicky’s humor, laughter, and warmth,” recalls current Huntington Artistic Director Peter DuBois. “He will be so deeply missed. I take solace in knowing that his DNA remains on our stages and in our company. He will always be here, and he will always be a part of who we are.” “Partnering with Nicky was a great treat,” says Huntington Managing Director Michael Maso, who worked with Martin from 2000 to 2008. “He was a brilliant director of classics and new plays alike and was a wonderful collaborator. What I most remember is the joy with which Nicky infused a room, whether it was a rehearsal hall or a dinner table. And that laugh! Nicky Martin’s laugh will always be a life-affirming miracle, loud enough to rouse the angels from their heavenly sleep and wicked enough to make them question whether they were on the right side.” Martin’s last project was the world premiere of Christopher Durang’s Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike which garnered the 2013 Tony Award for Best New Play and a Tony Award nomination for his direction. The Huntington will recreate his acclaimed production of the hit comedy here in January and will dedicate it in his honor. 2 BOX OFFICE 617 266 0800 WELCOME TO OUR 2014-2015 SEASON COMPELLING FAMILY COMEDY GUESS WHO’S COMING TO DINNER SEPT. 5 – OCT. 5 PROVOCATIVE MEDICAL THRILLER ETHER DOME OCT. 17 – NOV. 23 STIRRING AMERICAN CLASSIC AWAKE AND SING!

    SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS by Clifford Odets Ernest Lehman Working Script For THE SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS FADE IN: EXT. INT. GLOBE NEWSPAPER BUILDING - DUSK - N.Y. A row of newspaper delivery trucks is lined up against the long loading bay, waiting for the edition. In the foreground a large clock establishes the time as 8:10 PM. A rumbling noise warns the men to take their positions; a few seconds later the bales of newspapers come sliding the spiral chutes onto the moving belts from which they are manhandled onto the trucks. Much noise and shouting. The front truck moves out to the city street. As it does CAMERA EMPHASIZES the big poster on its side. The design features a large pair of spectacles with heavy rims - a trademark of Hunsecker's. (It will later be seen as the masthead of the gossip column.) "GO WITH THE GLOBE" Read J.J. HUNSECKER "They eyes of Broadway" EXT. BROADWAY - DUSK - N.Y. The truck starts on its journey along Broadway. Some shots are of the vehicle moving through very heavy traffic (taken from a camera car). Others are from the inside of the truck; as it slows down, the delivery man tosses the heavy bundle of papers onto the sidewalk. CAMERA following the truck, holds it in foreground against the blazing electric signs of Broadway and Times Square. EXT.
