DEAR FRIENDS, Welcome to Chicago Shakespeare’s 30th Anniversary Season! It is hard to believe that three decades have passed since our first performance ofHenry V was staged on the roof of the Red Lion Pub. What a journey it has been. We launch this next chapter of our company against the backdrop of an artistically thrilling season. Shakespeare 400 Chicago continues to turn the world’s eyes to our city—as we spearhead this yearlong international festival, featuring more than 1,000 artists in 850 events, spanning 120 venues. Construction of our third theater, The Yard at Chicago Shakespeare, is well underway next door on Navy Pier, expanding our artistic home with a uniquely flexible state-of-the-imagination platform. The stage is certainly set for the continued growth and evolution of Chicago’s global home for Shakespeare.

Reflective of our city’s spirit of making “no small plans,”Tug of War: Civil Strife continues the most artistically ambitious project in our company’s history. Staging a total of six of Shakespeare’s history plays in two parts, as the center piece of our yearlong, citywide festival in 2016, is an epic undertaking, and one that has been met with national and international acclaim. We are truly grateful to you, our loyal audience members, for your spirit of adventure as we continue to explore the canon in a myriad of ways. In this anniversary season we look forward to celebrating the Spirit of Shakespeare with you—one that is alive and well in Chicago.

Enjoy the show! n

ROWE INQUIRY AND EXPLORATION SERIES

Four hundred years after his death, Shakespeare continues to raise questions, arguments, and point/ counterpoints among—and sometimes between—scholars and theater practitioners. The same script through different lenses reveals itself in a myriad of ways—leaving us, the readers of text and performance, to think and rethink our own points of view. Such is the legacy that Shakespeare left us. We hope that our program notes enrich, deepen, and sometimes even challenge our audiences’ experience with the production they witness. Now and Then

TUG OF WAR: CIVIL STRIFE HENRY VI PARTS 2 & 3 RICHARD III Small wonder. He was providing for his audience a story of themselves, one that most of them knew at least n BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE n ADAPTED AND DIRECTED BY vaguely but that none had ever seen on stage: the story BARBARA GAINES of how a long civil war had shaped their lives—of how n COURTYARD THEATER the strife that had torn their country apart for thirty- n SEPTEMBER 15– OCTOBER 9, 2016 five years had ultimately, albeit precariously, pulled it n 312.595.5600 together to produce the newly prosperous, powerful n WWW.CHICAGOSHAKES.COM nation they lived in now.

Shakespeare, being Shakespeare, is most interested in the strife; that’s what great plays do best. Today’s begin with double trouble: as the young King Henry seals an ill-advised marriage that will compromise his country’s future, his nobles resurrect an older dispute as to whether Henry should be king at all. His grandfather Henry IV seized the crown from its rightful inheritor, Richard II, who was promptly killed in prison. Now, two Stuart Sherman, who generations later, Richard Plantagenet, Duke of York, contributes this essay asserts a rival claim, as heir through a line of succession and served as Scholar-in- Residence on Tug of War, senior (hence superior) to Henry’s own. Amid garden- is a Professor of English party chatter, England’s angriest potentates pick sides at Fordham University and the author of Telling and pluck roses: red for those who stand by Henry’s Time: Clocks, Diaries, and claim and the House of Lancaster; white for those who English Diurnal Form, 1660–1785. support rebellious Richard and the House of York. The Wars of the Roses begin.

Shakespeare made up that garden scene and with it, in effect, the name by which we know the wars themselves (flowers didn’t figure so prominently in the actual

12 Fall 2016 | Tug of War: Civil Strife conflicts). As playwright, he wanted the vivid visual of red and white (crimson blood? Anglo skin?)—but he displays not the least interest in adjudicating the rightness of the competing claims. For him, they operate mainly as what Hitchcock liked to call a MacGuffin—the mere, almost incidental occasion (the embezzled cash in Psycho; the sculpted bird in The Maltese Falcon) for digging deep into the intricacies of human dynamics.

And (for Shakespeare as for Hitchcock) into their horror too. Shakespeare stages the Wars almost as an experiment designed to track the ways in which the lust for power produces and then preys on a pervasive chaos, first within the powerless communities it afflicts, and ultimately even in the lives and souls of the powerful themselves. Here at the start of his career, Shakespeare (boldly, oddly) casts himself as the playhouse’s prime chronicler of disintegrations.

At the start of the experiment, he creates a tiny control group, two characters capable of conceiving the way the world might work if it were working well. The devoutly Christian Henry VI repeatedly imagines an England rendered whole and healthy by fraternal love; his uncle and protector Humphrey (last surviving brother of the late, luminous Henry V) preaches and pursues the practice of just government.

But this world doesn’t work that way; soon enough, the plays’ fragile control group loses control. Shakespeare makes the ensuing wars feel at once chaotic and mercilessly logical: a cycle of rage and vengeance (eye for eye, tooth for tooth, death for death) wherein love itself turns toxic. Sons’ devotion to their murdered fathers, and fathers’ sorrow for their slaughtered sons, trigger a sequence of reprisals so relentless that when, in one scene, a father accidentally kills his own son and another son his own father, their doomed symmetries read as mere sample rather than outlier, in a world where violence is the only logic left.

www.chicagoshakes.com 13 THE JOHN W. AND JEANNE M. ROWE INQUIRY AND EXPLORATION SERIES

And then, from amid the chaos, Shakespeare shapes a new and startling coherence, in the form of a single sharply focused, suddenly central character: Richard, Duke of Gloucester, physically deformed and mentally matchless. His lust for power surpasses (in energy, in ingenuity) any we have seen so far; it aims as much at our complicity as at England’s throne. By his intimate asides and killing jokes, Richard makes clear that in the void and violence of civil strife, he sees, and will seize, the opportunity for his own advancement. Having emerged from his mother’s womb “like unto a chaos,” he will contrive (like many a more recent but less dexterous monster) to commute the chaos inside him and around him into a conquering and ruinous charisma. In his climb toward kingship, Richard brings the long war’s deathly demolitions to their peak; in his fall, he brings them to an end.

And in that end, Shakespeare’s audience readily detected their own beginnings. They knew that Henry Tudor, Richard’s conqueror, had inaugurated for England a century and more of relative peace and rising power extending to the present moment. When Henry, descended from the House of Lancaster, married a daughter of the House of York, they inaugurated a newly blended line of succession: their son was Henry VIII, and their granddaughter Elizabeth I, whose political cunning had elevated her nation’s wealth and worldliness, and whose passion for theater sustained the new professional playhouses, and hence these playgoers’ present pleasure in Shakespeare’s hypnotic staging of their past.

But however neatly the past seems knitted up, the present will always feel precarious. At the time these plays premiered, Elizabeth I was in her late fifties and childless. The open question of succession, and with it the real possibilities of renewed rebellion and civil strife, loomed large in the audience’s minds, and no doubt laced their pleasure with an undercurrent of anxiety: this can happen again; this can happen here. Shakespeare, exploring the disintegrations of other centuries, was learning fast how to play upon the audience’s deepest present fears and hopes—whenever, and wherever, that present might take place.

And so he tells our stories too as, caught (to echo Hamlet) between the election and our hopes, we wait another turning of history’s restless tide. In these three chronicles of the ways things fall apart, the only knitting-together that holds fast is the extraordinary growth of Shakespeare’s art. He was about twenty-seven when he started the first of these hits, about twenty-nine when he finished the last; en route he mastered more than any playwright had grasped before about how to do what Hamlet says a play must do: hold the mirror up to nature, and (in the Prince’s mysterious, infinitely suggestive phrase) show the age and body of the time its form and pressure.

That was more than four centuries ago. And here we are. n

TUG OF WAR is dedicated to the troops then and now; and to the children now and yet to be.

Visit chicagoshakes.com to explore more ideas hese histories have been living inside and stories behind the art on CST’s stages. Tme for a very, very long time.

Tug of War serves as a metaphor of war, of all our wars. TUG OF WAR: CIVIL STRIFE Of Troy, Saigon, Gettysburg, Stalingrad, Somme, Kabul. HENRY VI PARTS 2 & 3 RICHARD III Of foreign wars and civil wars. Tug of War is, for me, the n BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE history of civilization. It’s chilling to watch as history n ADAPTED AND DIRECTED BY BARBARA GAINES repeats itself, the repetition of themes, of human behavior, n COURTYARD THEATER of selfish mistakes. n SEPTEMBER 15– OCTOBER 9, 2016 Shakespeare weaves a counterpoint between the voices n 312.595.5600 of commoners and royals. In the tension between the n WWW.CHICAGOSHAKES.COM common soldiers who often speak in prose, and the royals who speak in iambic pentameter, Shakespeare composes an opera. I imagined Tug of War as a musical history cycle, a tapestry between the music and the language, between the actors and the musicians. In their simplicity and humanity, the songs you will hear are written and performed to touch us, to rally us towards a cause, to comfort us.

Tug of War’s first day this past spring,Foreign Fire, was Barbara Gaines suffused with ghosts. The ghosts of the dead echoed Artistic Director moments of their lives and together became a convocation Carl and Marilynn Thoma Endowed Chair among the living, because war is always haunted in this way. Today, Tug of War: Civil Strife is suffused in blood. The annihilation of Britain’s proud conquest of France starts the quarrel between cousins and tips the scale into civil war. Foreign war becomes civil war.

In these histories, family and nation are irrevocably intertwined: what happens to one happens to the other. There’s no way ever to separate them. They’re all cousins— even the French are cousins to these English.

18 Fall 2016 | Tug of War: Civil Strife They all have fundamentally the same last name, Plantagenet. And they hate and cherish each other for reasons that have an enormous amount to do with the personal. The personal is political, the political is personal. Jockeying for power is what happens at every family dinner table—except that the power struggles at the dinner tables of these dysfunctional families can tear apart entire nations in their wake.

We will see that parabola of war and peace, of why wars begin and begin again. And again. We will see the fall towards war, the collapse of moral integrity into war, and the striving for peace, again and again and again. And one will wonder, Why don’t we learn from our history?

Theater is inherently a rebellious art form. Shakespeare wrote histories because he lived in dangerous times, and so he placed these war plays safely back in time. Shakespeare hid in his histories with “Once upon a time, a long time ago...”—and he got away with it. If Shakespeare were writing now, politicians would despise him. He wielded the weapons of language. Language was his weapon. Theater renders visual what Shakespeare gave us in his words. Creativity is the enemy of force; art, I hope, is in the end the strongest force of all. n

www.chicagoshakes.com 23 TUG OF WAR: CIVIL STRIFE Playgoer’s Guide Part One The marriage of Henry VI to Margaret of Anjou begets two catastrophes at Court. Humphrey, the king’s uncle and Lord Protector, discovers what a bad bargain the king has made in his passion for the princess—signing away French territories won by his father, Henry V. Meanwhile, a long-simmering dispute about Henry’s right to the kingship erupts; those noblemen who support his claim as scion of the House of Lancaster choose red roses as their emblem; those who affirm the competing claim of the Duke of York choose white. Queen Margaret and Suffolk, along with the Cardinal of Winchester, are eager to dissolve Humphrey’s power over king and realm; they imprison him on false charges and conspire in his murder. Intent on consolidating the Lancastrian claim by keeping York at a distance, they dispatch the duke to Ireland to quell a nascent insurrection. York sees the upside of this dismissal: his enemies have provided him with an army of his own, and he heads for Ireland and bides his time.

York’s wait pays off, as Lancastrian control begins to dissolve in all directions. Humphrey’s murder is soon followed by the death of the Cardinal of Winchester, and by a popular uprising against Suffolk as the root of all these evils. Meanwhile Jack Cade, a gifted rabble-rouser commissioned by York to make trouble in his absence, unleashes a fresh and deadly rebellion: in a frenzy of populist rapture, his followers murder men simply for the sin of literacy. This is the cue York has been waiting for: he returns to London with his army and his soldier-sons, ostensibly to crush Cade’s rebellion but in fact to lay claim to the English crown. In the opening battle of the Wars of the Roses, the Yorkists prevail. Margaret persuades Henry to flee the battlefield, and the Yorks promise themselves a decisive, crown-catching victory in the near future.

— INTERMISSION —

When York asserts his regal right by simply seating himself upon the throne, Henry partly capitulates: as he agrees to make York his heir, he disinherits his own young son, Prince Edward. Margaret and the prince, outraged at Henry’s deceit, take control of the Lancastrian armies and, along with their ally Clifford, commence a series of deadly reprisals. But the Lancastrians don’t prevail for long. York’s firstborn son Edward takes up his father’s claim to the throne and, abetted by his brothers George and Richard, embarks on his own campaign of revenge and conquest; he is soon crowned King Edward IV. Edward quickly woos and wins the widow Elizabeth Woodville, as Richard plots his own rise to power.

— MEAL BREAK —

24 Fall 2016 | Tug of War: Civil Strife CHICAGO SHAKESPEARE THEATER

Part Two The English king's amorous success triggers an international incident. Edward was already promised to the King of France’s sister in a match orchestrated by the Earl of Warwick, the kingmaker whose tireless efforts had placed Edward on the throne. Infuriated by this snub, Warwick and the French king throw their full support behind Margaret; even King Edward’s younger brother George, now Duke of Clarence, hoping to cast his lot with the winning side, shifts his allegiance to the Lancastrians. But their cause quickly falters as the Yorkists retake control and put an end to Lancastrian hopes.

With the Lancastrian claims to the throne finally suppressed, King Edward's brother Richard sets his sights on taking the crown for himself. In his obsessive pursuit, this son of York plows through each of the lives that stands in his way: Edward IV, his oldest brother, now sickly enough to die on his own; George, Duke of Clarence, a brother who might exert a prior claim to power; the upstart Woodvilles, kin to Edward’s wife, with their newly attained eminence; and Lord Hastings who supports the young Prince Edward's claim to the throne. Margaret, banished widow of King Henry VI, returns and, cursing her usurpers, prophesizes their doom. With the help of the kingmaker Buckingham, Richard seizes the crown.

— INTERMISSION —

Insecure still in his new possession, Richard finds himself undertaking murders he had not fully foreseen at the start. One by one Richard's detractors are executed: Queen Anne, the Lancastrian widow Richard woos and wins; King Edward's two young sons, heirs to their father's crown; and the Duke of Buckingham, who flees in terror from the king he has made. Richard embarks on his most extravagant scheme yet: to marry his niece Princess Elizabeth—the late king’s daughter and sister to the boy princes already slain—in order to compound his claim to the Yorkist throne. Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond, a leftover Lancastrian who has spent much of his life in France, returns to England with an army, eager to enforce his own somewhat tenuous claim to succession. King Richard, beleaguered by Richmond’s aspirations, by the curses of the women whose lives he has ruined, and by the ghosts of all the many lives he has taken, heads into battle one last time.

In Tug of War the tugs are many: on the monarchs and other mortals who people the plays, on Shakespeare, and on us. The plays gauge the pull of combat on all whom it exhilarates and ruins: on the English kings who generation after generation feel tugged toward France, seeking to reclaim it as their distant birthright; on their English subjects, drawn by ambition or obligation into a cycle of foreign war and civil strife that seems to have no end; and on the millions past and present whom they here stand in for, whose propensity for war, throughout the long play of history, has proven so intense that they have barely paused to imagine a world without it.

Four hundred years after his death, Shakespeare continues to raise questions, arguments, and point/ counterpoints among—and sometimes between—scholars and theater practitioners. The same script through different lenses reveals itself in a myriad of ways—leaving us, the readers of text and performance, to think and rethink our own points of view. Such is the legacy that Shakespeare left us. We hope that our program notes enrich, deepen, and sometimes even challenge—our audiences’ experience with the production they witness. Leapfrog

He was constantly surpassing art on CST’s stages. himself: gaining speed, shifting gears, discovering his capabilities and expanding them at every turn.

Alike in their lust for power but seethingly opposed in their every encounter, these two each operate across all three plays as provocateurs and coal-mine canaries: they do much to shape their twisted world, and they measure out, in the lives they lead and the lines they speak, the costs of cruelty in the world they’ve made.

Stuart Sherman, who contributes this essay, and served as Scholar-in- HENRY VI, PART TWO Residence on Tug of War, is a Professor of English When first performed and published, this play bore a at Fordham University different title: The First Part of the Contention Betwixt and the author of Telling Time: Clocks, Diaries, and the Two Famous Houses of York and Lancaster.

44 Fall 2016 | Tug of War: Civil Strife conspiracies; nascent rebellion. As factions fragment and regroup, the death toll begins to mount. The high-born start to cull their foes, and the low-born launch a murderous, demagogue-driven revolt that, in the alternately comic and horrifying arbitrariness of its homicides, parodies in prospect the imminent wars of succession. Once we’ve witnessed the violent campaign for kingship launched by the self-enraptured rageaholic son-of-a-tailor Jack Cade, we’re likelier to look skeptically on anyone’s claim to the throne, however loftily expressed.

Meanwhile, we witness in Queen Margaret a dawning discontent, a ruthless passion for complete control and a swift reckoning on Shakespeare’s part of the extremes to which that lust can lead. Early on, she scorns her husband as a pious, ineffectual king, and becomes a key conspirator in the downfall of his benevolent Protector, the “good Duke Humphrey.” She rejoices without compunction in the play’s first murder, but mourns extravagantly at its second, of her own not-so- secret lover, in what is perhaps the most macabre scene of lamentation that Shakespeare ever wrote (a severed head, tenderly addressed and ardently caressed). Throughout, Margaret manifests an obsession with violence that is also an oblivion to its real workings: eager to inflict it upon others, appalled when it is directed at her and hers, she never pauses to muse a moment on its double edge. Her volatility—brilliance, passion, cruelty, self-pity—make her one of Shakespeare’s great early creations; having first emerged at the end ofHenry VI Part One, she is the only character in all his work to leave her distinctive mark on four whole plays.

In a telling structural echo, the young Richard appears at this play’s end, just minutes before the first battle erupts—as though he were, in his fierce, bent person, the harbinger of all-out war. Savoring the field’s first slaughter, he speaks his credo in a couplet:

Sword, hold thy temper; heart, be wrathful still: Priests pray for enemies, but princes kill.

To which Queen Margaret, from the opposing side and now more intent than ever on supplanting her all-too-priestly husband, might readily say “Amen!”

www.chicagoshakes.com 45 THE JOHN W. AND JEANNE M. ROWE INQUIRY AND EXPLORATION SERIES

HENRY VI, PART THREE The play starts swiftly, with a pair of sudden surrogations. When the Duke of York abruptly seats himself on Henry’s throne, Henry’s wife and son, disgusted by the king’s docility, seize command of his armies and the faltering Lancastrian cause. Queen Margaret becomes (as one foe will sardonically call her) “Captain Margaret,” a woman undertaking a man’s role and fulfilling it, for a long stretch at least, more commandingly than any male. For Shakespeare’s audience, the shift would have been at once unsettling, spellbinding, and familiar: in Elizabeth’s reign they had experienced, and honored, an indomitable female majesty that their persistently patriarchal mores could not have easily predicted.

The Wars of the Roses now consume the play, and everyone within it. Shakespeare streamlines his account of the conflict—omitting many historic battles, compressing and reworking many others—to strengthen our grasp of what war almost always is: a sustained, reiterative expression of revenge for perceived and prior wrongs. As York and Lancaster battle over the deposition and murder of a king two generations back, individual combatants seek reprisal for loved ones killed more recently, in the very course of battle. Shakespeare, like Homer, vests the violence with a focused animus so intense that every killing comes to seem a form of murder, full of point, horror, and horrific pleasure.

In the midst of all this mayhem, Shakespeare carves out time for three soloists to voice their own very different views of vengeance: Margaret, Richard and, for the first and last time, Henry VI; strikingly sidelined in “his” earlier plays, he comes into sustained focus here.

Margaret starts the play as Revenge’s presiding genius, and ends as one of its principal vicarious victims. Her first act is her most formidable, and all the more so because she is avenging not a specific death, but a mere insult: York’s presumption in briefly seizing the throne. As she makes clear in a single terrifying monologue, she is in pursuit of what we now call torture porn: she seeks to stage (even “direct”) her victim’s suffering Margaret starts the as a form of entertainment. In his defiance, Shakespeare sounds a new keynote: even for a play as Revenge's giddy sadist like Margaret, revenge rarely fulfills presiding genius, its promised consummations. When near play’s end she laments her own matched loss, her grief is and ends as one authentic, but so is her oblivion. She forgets what of its principal we remember: her own eager participation in the processes that led up to this loss. vicarious victims For Richard, who kills for pleasure anyway, revenge only compounds the piquancy, as he scythes his way through the House of

46 Fall 2016 | Tug of War: Civil Strife CHICAGO SHAKESPEARE THEATER

Lancaster. But Shakespeare, mid-play, limns the deeper dimensions of Richard’s vengefulness. After watching his brother Edward woo and win a lovely widow, Richard, now alone, immediately turns to us and speaks a stark self-reckoning: his twisted shape proscribes the possibility that he will ever “be beloved”; blaming first his mother, then Mother Nature, and then Love itself for banishing his broken body from its precincts, he makes clear that his climb to kingship is driven by a desire for vengeance on the unfair workings Shakespeare of the entire world. His speech encompasses a double voyage of discovery: as Richard discovers discovers, for the (in Shakespeare’s time the word could also mean first time in all uncover, reveal) the essential mechanisms of his own makeup, Shakespeare discovers, for the first his work, how to time in all his work, how to fashion a soliloquy fashion a soliloquy that at once distills the intense emotions of a single moment while opening vistas onto a that at once vast, idiosyncratic, human soul whose coiled distills the intense contradictions (hatred, pain, humor) hold the audience in thrall. emotions of a single King Henry meanwhile, in accordance with his moment while faith, has always advocated love and repudiated opening vistas onto vengeance. Shakespeare crafts for him a soliloquy that is the opposite of Richard’s: for Henry, a vast, idosyncratic, kingship, unbearably burdensome, is simply not human soul worth the having (let alone the striving for). Henry dreams of an escape from time, from the frantic political twists and turns by which his kingship has crushed him. In his final encounter with Richard he effects this wished-for escape, but makes clear even in parting how deeply he feels, and how well he understands, the costs of Ricardian revenge past, passing, and to come.

RICHARD III In his opening soliloquy, Richard reinscribes the arc of his intent: now, in the winter of his discontent, he will avenge his bodily deformity—his exile from the erotic—by ending many lives and making himself king. He states the proposition as a simple binary: “And therefore, since I cannot prove a lover…I am determined to prove a villain.”

It soon becomes clear, though, that in Richard the two character-types, not binary, are startlingly intertwined. For one thing, he clearly, energetically aims to become in effect our lover; whatever else he is doing on stage, he is always

www.chicagoshakes.com 47 THE JOHN W. AND JEANNE M. ROWE INQUIRY AND EXPLORATION SERIES

also seducing us, in soliloquy, with wildly entertaining accounts of his criminal ingenuities. For another, Shakespeare shifts the vector of those ingenuities from the open violence of the earlier plays to something subtler. This play’s many murders are abundantly dramatic but always deputized; Richard no longer does any of the stabbing or smothering himself. Instead, Richard’s villainy becomes most clearly manifest in his misogyny—in the sustained wars of words he wages throughout the play with four extraordinary women, whose revulsion at him embodies his exclusion from the realms of ordinary human love (parental, familial, sexual), and whose submission (approval, ardor) becomes obsessively important to him in several of the play’s key scenes.

Shakespeare stages the first such scene as an experiment in amorous outrage. Richard seeks the love of Lady Anne, who has every reason to loathe him: he has killed her husband and her father-in-law, whose coffined corpse she is at this very moment accompanying to its burial. Her seething resistance to her new wooer flashes forth in a sustained verbal sparring match in which Anne often comes off as wittier than he. In her ultimate submission, and Richard’s preening gratification, Shakespeare enacts what we now know of rape: that for the rapist, it is a matter not of sex, let alone of love, but of power fueled by rage. Richard’s attempt to “prove a lover” (despite his earlier demurral) ends up proving instead the relentlessness of his hatred and his self-regard. His antic wit persists, and with it our seduction—but the laughter is rapidly acquiring an undertow.

And then, in a matching later scene, the amorous outrage escalates. This one centers on the dowager Queen Elizabeth, widow of Richard’s older brother, King Edward IV. Her initial resistance, and her reasons for it, surpass even Anne’s: Richard, now king, having murdered her sons, here seeks permission to marry her daughter (his niece) in order to compound his claim to the throne. And so a new battle of wits begins. But something has changed. Richard’s zeal for what he wants is as salivary as ever, but his powers—of insight, amusement, persuasion—are almost spent; the crown has brought him not delight but disintegration. Elizabeth outflanks him at every turn. She is drawing on a new source of energy, developed through her recent communion with the two other surviving women whom Richard has injured most: his own mother (who wholly loathes him now), and Queen Margaret.

Strictly speaking, she shouldn’t be here at all. The historical Margaret was banished to France the moment the Yorkists definitively seized the throne; had she stayed and stalked the court as this one does, she would have been imprisoned or executed on the spot. But Shakespeare wants her here. In a world where Richard’s duped victims drop like flies, she becomes his most knowing nemesis and, stranger still, a persuasive oracle. She alone now sees Richard as the paradoxical agent of providence who will end the wars—as God’s avenging “hellhound that doth hunt … to death” all the contenders in this fatal conflict, Yorkist and Lancastrian alike, before

48 Fall 2016 | Tug of War: Civil Strife CHICAGO SHAKESPEARE THEATER

descending to his own destruction. And so Margaret’s fierce envy of the women now in power gradually morphs into something like alliance; Richard’s cruelty is what they all three have in common. In language that sounds a lot like liturgy, they lament the losses he’s inflicted, and begin to imagine In language that a world without Richard, and without the conflicts that sounds a lot like he’s consummated. liturgy, they lament the At play’s end, that world comes to pass partly through an ebbing of misogyny (though not yet of patriarchy): losses he's inflicted Henry Tudor, not Richard, will marry the princess and begin to imagine a Elizabeth; a hundred years hence, their granddaughter of the same name will reign over a culture of freshly world without Richard changed perceptions. Shakespeare’s first audiences knew on their own pulses that a woman could rule, and rule well. Richard III, like most of the plays in Tug of War, closes with a speech by the present victor, conjuring up the luminous future forthcoming at his hands. But the tug of war tugs hard: not one of those hopeful perorations panned out. Now, for at least a precarious, pleasing moment, it becomes possible to imagine that this one may. n SUPPORT CHICAGO'S HOME FOR SHAKESPEARE SCHOLARS FROM 10 UNIVERSITIES SHARE THEIR PERSPECTIVES
