PERFORMING RESTORATION SHAKE A Theatrical Restoration
When the English Civil War began in 1642, Parliament closed the playhouses. Other than a few public performances during the Interregnum, the theaters did not officially reopen until 1660, when the monarchy was restored. Upon his return to London, King Charles II granted patents to two theater companies: the King’s Company (led by Thomas Killigrew) and the Duke’s Company (led by Sir William Davenant). Because theatrical activity had been prohibited for nearly twenty years, artistic tastes had changed. Women finally were allowed to perform on the public stage; the new indoor theaters were equipped with proscenium arches, moveable perspective scenery, and machines for producing elaborate stage effects; and music and dance featured more prominently. As few new plays were immediately available, the theaters turned to old classics—including Shakespeare— revising these texts to reflect the current fashion. Under Davenant’s imaginative leadership the Duke’s Company gained a reputation for both scenic splendor and textual innovation: the witches in their Macbeth sang and danced; Miranda in The Tempest had a sister. Davenant’s Macbeth
Davenant’s adaptation of Macbeth (first performed ca. 1664) proved to be a lasting hit. The diarist Samuel Pepys loved it, describing it in 1667 as “a most excellent play in all respects, but especially in 6

divertisement, though it be a deep tragedy; which is a strange perfection in a tragedy, it being most proper here, and suitable.” Pepys was not alone in admiring the play. John Downes, the long-serving prompter for the Duke’s Company, later remarked that Macbeth, “alter’d by Sir William Davenant; being drest in all its Finery, as new Cloaths, new Scenes, Machines […] with all the Singing and Dancing in it […] it being all Excellently perform’d, being in the nature of an Opera, it Recompenc’d double the Expence.” Davenant’s revised text was performed well into the 18th century and his musical witches proved even more enduring, with Richard Leveridge’s 1702 setting continuing
ESPEARE: DAVENANT’S MACBETH to be sung well into the 19th century. This Folger Theatre production features John Eccles’s wonderful score (composed ca. 1695) with additional selections by Matthew Locke, Henry Purcell and others.
A Unique Collaboration
This production of Davenant’s Macbeth is the culmination of a unique collaboration between scholars and performing artists. It began with a 2014 Folger Institute workshop led by theater historian Richard Schoch and musicologist Amanda Eubanks Winkler. A team of visiting scholars, Folger Theatre actors, and members of the Folger Consort gathered to study and to stage excerpts from Davenant’s Macbeth and Charles Gildon’s revision of Measure for Measure. Our experiment demonstrated not only the appeal of Restoration Shakespeare in performance but also the value of a strong collaboration between scholars and artists to understand and to perform this distinctive theatrical genre. Building on the success of the Folger Institute workshop, Schoch and Eubanks Winkler received substantial funding in 2017 from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (United Kingdom) for the greatly expanded project “Performing Restoration Shakespeare” (restorationshakespeare.org). In partnership with the Folger Shakespeare Library, Shakespeare’s Globe, and the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, our research project brings together scholars and
practitioners in theater and music to investigate how and why Restoration adaptations of Shakespeare succeeded in performance in their own time (1660-1710) and how and why they can succeed in performance today. This production of Davenant’s Macbeth marks a high point in our project and in our valued partnership with the Folger. We hope that you will enjoy its “strange perfection.” Richard Schoch is Professor of Drama at Queen’s University Belfast. In addition to being the Principal Investigator for ‘Performing Restoration Shakespeare,’ he is the author of Writing the History of the British Stage, 1660-1900 (Cambridge University Press). Together with Amanda Eubanks Winkler, he is currently writing a book on Restoration Shakespeare in performance. Amanda Eubanks Winkler is Associate Professor of Music History and Cultures at Syracuse University and is the CoInvestigator for ‘Performing Restoration Shakespeare.’ She is the author of O Let Us Howle Some Heavy Note: Music for Witches, the Melancholic, and the Mad on the Seventeenth-Century English Stage (Indiana University Press) and the editor of several volumes of Restoration theater music, including Music for Macbeth (A-R Editions). Claude Fretz is a Research Fellow in the School of Arts, English and Languages at Queen’s University Belfast. Apart from working on Restoration Shakespeare, he studies representations of dreams and sleep in the early modern period. His book Dreams, Sleep, and Shakespeare’s Genres is forthcoming from Palgrave Macmillan.

FROM THE MUSIC DIRECTOR The Folger Consort has of course mounted several Restoration music theater projects in the past, including The Fairy Queen, The Tempest, and most recently the Charles Gildon revision of Measure for Measure which contains all of Henry Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas. These pieces, which featured semi-staged readings by Richard Clifford, Sir Derek Jacobi, and other fine actors along with our period music, were wonderfully satisfying projects. Here, though, with Davenant’s Macbeth, we have the unparalleled opportunity to stage fully one of the most popular works of Restoration music theater with the participation of scholars, musicians and actors. Although there were many Restoration performances of Davenant’s version of Macbeth as early as 1664 and continuing into the next century, we have no complete music for the play from any of these productions. The early Restoration performances may have had some music composed by Matthew Locke. They most likely also used earlier settings from before Cromwell, since some of the song texts for Davenant’s musical scenes were already present in the 1623 First Folio and were taken from another play, Thomas Middleton’s The Witch (1615-16). We do have music for later productions by John Eccles (ca. 1668-1735) and Richard Leveridge (ca. 1670-1758), and for this production we have elected to use most of Eccles’s surviving settings. His music is more interesting than Leveridge’s and is closer in time to our setting of the play in 1666 Bedlam. At this performance you will hear Eccles’s music for the four witches’ 8
songs: Speak, Sister, Speak; Let’s Have a Dance, Hecate; Oh, Come Away; and Black Spirits and White. Apart from a couple of short instrumental symphonies, that is all that we have of Eccles’s settings, and in whichever London theater this version was first performed there would have been an overture and most likely a set of pieces following before the curtain, then a curtain tune. There would also have been instrumental music separating all the acts. Restoration theater audiences were fond of lots of musical interpolations in their plays, ‘in the manner of an opera.’ Some examples more well known today than Davenant’s Macbeth are versions of The Tempest with music by Matthew Locke and, of course, the wonderful music by Henry Purcell (1659-95) for The Fairy Queen, King Arthur, Abdelazar, and Diocletian, which we refer to today as semi-operas. In a way, the paucity of early Restoration sources for the music for Davenant’s Macbeth gives us leave to draw on some of this other roughly contemporary theater music. This borrowing and reuse are entirely in the spirit of Restoration theater. We’ll begin, for instance with some theatrical music by Matthew Locke that only survives in a manuscript source. Before the play begins, you will hear the Curtain Tune from Locke’s music for The Tempest. There is plenty of music here by Purcell, the greatest English composer of his time. Listeners might recognize the Rondeau from Abdelazar, the Act IV Symphony from The Fairy
Queen, the Overture to Dido and Aeneas, his famous mad song for Bess of Bedlam, From silent shades, and the Funeral March for Queen Mary. The rest of our music this evening is drawn from the wonderful 17th century repertoire of English and Scottish country dances, and from various Scottish sources of fiddle and bagpipe music. You will mostly hear this music when the action of the play takes place out on the moors. Consort listeners and lovers of Scottish music might recognize tunes like The Scottish Huntsup, Highland Laddie, and the Reel of Tulloch. From Playford’s dance collections we have appropriated Moll
Peatly and a lovely and haunting tune we have come to regard as Lady Macduff’s theme, Long Cold Nights. It was not our intention to shape the relationship between music and speech in our production exactly as it would have been done in the Drury Lane or Lincoln’s Inn Fields theaters in the 17th century, with lavishly staged musical entertainments interspersed with the actual spoken play. Rather, we are inspired by the Restoration enthusiasm for ‘semi-opera’ to integrate 17thcentury words and music in an organic way that we hope will please our modern audience. –Robert Eisenstein
SYNOPSIS Davenant’s Macbeth, a Restorationera rewrite of Shakespeare’s tragedy, mixes witchcraft, prophecy, and murder. Despite adjustments to the original’s text—including additional scenes for the Macbeths and the Macduffs, expanded roles for the witches, and a robust musical score— the overall plot remains true to Shakespeare’s play. “The Three Sisters” appear to Macbeth and his comrade Banquo after a battle and prophesy that Macbeth will be king and that the descendants of Banquo will also reign. When Macbeth arrives at his castle, he and Lady Macbeth plot to assassinate King Duncan, soon to be their guest, so that Macbeth can become king. After Macbeth murders Duncan, the king’s two sons flee, and Macbeth is
crowned. Macduff and Lady Macduff meet the Three Sisters, who warn of a danger to Lady Macduff. Fearing that Banquo’s descendants will take over the kingdom, Macbeth has Banquo killed. At a royal banquet that evening, Macbeth sees Banquo’s ghost appear, and he determines to consult the Three Sisters again. They comfort him with ambiguous promises. The nobleman Macduff rides to England to join Duncan’s older son, Malcolm. Macbeth, threatened, has Macduff’s wife and children murdered. Malcolm and Macduff lead an army against Macbeth, and he confronts them, trusting in the Three Sisters’ promises. However, the promises prove to be tricks; Macduff kills Macbeth and Malcolm becomes Scotland’s king. 9

FROM THE DIRECTOR I am sure many of us have seen a production of Macbeth before, but I am positive none of us have ever seen Sir William Davenant’s adaptation of Macbeth. This production is a unique and historic opportunity for all the elements of the Folger Shakespeare Library, the Folger Institute, the Folger Theatre, and the Folger Consort to conjoin on a scale never before done. The unification of scholarship and live performance on this project has not been attempted to this degree. This production has been over two years in the planning and I am honored to be at the helm. The creative team and the scholars have been working very hard to understand the principles of its orientation in an effort to make it accessible and relevant for our audience today. The concept for this production is a play within a play—a one-time performance staged as a fundraising event for Bedlam, the mental asylum in London, two weeks after the Great Fire in 1666. The inmates of the asylum have been rehearsing in roles that are meaningful to their personalities, conditions, and relationships. The history of Bedlam as a hospital is rich. The name has entered our language as a description of inhumanity and chaos. This allows the acting approach of the play within the play to be demonstrative and closer to a Restoration style.
Then things go horribly wrong. The murder of Duncan (played by the Warden) prompts a significant shift in this production. The theatrical prop knives are switched and Macbeth murders the Warden before a live audience and his fellow inmates. Thus, the evening takes on a very different tone and we are transported into a dark, ruthless world of violence and mayhem. Bedlam ensues! From this point on, the acting is rooted in realism and more kin to 21st-century performances of this play. Our Bedlam of 1666 is set in the original building, built on a troubled sewer, where visitors are restricted and conditions are appalling. It has the elements of a makeshift, openhanded theater set up in the public space, and the settings and props are from things that can be found inside the hospital. Encouraged by the Warden, the play begins with an orchestra that has been hired for the evening’s special performance, and starts in a way that we imagine they might have acted in the 17th century. The Folger is the only place in the country where academic scholarship, performance expertise, and creative design can come together and produce a unique and original artistic result. It has been my pleasure to collaborate with all the constituents on this remarkable endeavor. –Robert Richmond 11

REVIEW
CREATIVE TEAM concerts of early music; and a like number of other cultural events. Her leadership of Folger Theatre has seen the theater recognized with 147 nominations and 30 awards for excellence from Washington’s Helen Hayes Awards. These include six awards for Outstanding Resident Production, most recently received for Sense and Sensibility in 2017. Bard Records, created by Griffin, has released 23 titles of music by Folger Consort and others, and Folger Theatre has seven fully dramatized Shakespeare audio books available through Simon and Schuster. Projects commissioned or developed include Lynn Redgrave’s Shakespeare for My Father and Rachel and Juliet; The Fairy Queen and other presentations of Baroque music and Shakespeare with Derek Jacobi, Richard Clifford, and other celebrated artists; Roger Rees’ What You Will; The Second Shepherds’ Play adapted by Mary Hall Surface; Aaron Posner’s District Merchants; Caroline Shaw’s The Tempest; The Gravedigger’s Tale with Louis Butelli; and the upcoming immersive theater presentation by Third Rail Productions. She was the first to bring to Washington a Shakespeare’s Globe production and to take Folger programming to London’s Wanamaker Playhouse at the Globe, as well as other venues in Washington, New York, and California. Other Folger programs stewarded by Griffin are the O.B. Hardison Poetry series, celebrating its 50th season; a 30-year collaboration with the PEN/Faulkner Foundation; screenings from the Royal Shakespeare Company; and lectures and readings by theater professionals, early modern scholars, and contemporary literary figures.

Folger Consort has received five awards for Best Classical Chamber Ensemble by the Washington Area Music Awards. For more information, visit folger.edu/consort.

Folger Theatre Folger Shakespeare Library, opened in 1932, featured the first replica in North America of an Elizabethan theater, a 250-seat space designed to suggest the innyard playing spaces. Founders Henry and Emily Folger envisioned it as a place for the performance of the plays in Shakespeare’s style, and the first nationally televised broadcast of a Shakespeare play in the US was Julius Caesar from the Folger stage in 1949. Folger Theatre produces seasons of Shakespeare, other plays from the period of the Folger’s rare collection, and new work, including commissions, inspired by the period. Including award-winning stagings of more than 70 percent of Shakespeare’s canon, as well as classical and Restoration work, Folger Theatre premiered the original Shakespeare for My Father, Lynn Redgrave’s reminiscence of her theatrical family, as well as Roger
Rees’ What You Will; Folger Theatre coproduced Teller and Aaron Posner’s magical Macbeth, released on video; was the first Washington venue to present a production from Shakespeare’s Globe; and has collaborated with the Classical Theatre of Harlem, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival,
The Guthrie, Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival, and other theaters across the country. Folger Theatre is the recipient of 30 Helen Hayes Awards including for Outstanding Resident Production for Sense and Sensibility, The Taming of the Shrew, Hamlet, and Measure for Measure.
