D I R E C TO R ’ S N O T E MISALLIANCE was first produced in England in 1909 at the beginning of a new millennium when nearly everything in the world was in a state of flux. Queen Victoria had died earlier in the decade and King Edward VII had taken the throne. Expressionism emerged forsaking the tranquility and romance of Impressionism. Automobiles were becoming commonplace, Marconi made the first Trans-Atlantic radio signal, the gramophone was invented and the Wright brothers ‘dream of putting man in flight became a reality. New ideas in science, philosophy and government were being tested and the notion of social class challenged. Seeing these advances in the rest of the world, George Bernard Shaw believed that England lagged behind because the typical Englishman was fearful of new ideas and expansion of knowledge preferring instead to hold on to long held beliefs and established rules of etiquette. In Misalliance, Shaw indicts contemporary English society by satirizing the various institutions, (social class, government, education, marriage and families,) that England held so dear. He rails against forcing children into the restrictive image of propriety and the educational institutions that stifle creative thought making “moral monsters” of children. One hundred years later, we find ourselves in a similar situation. Once again we are at the beginning of the new millennium where advances in technology have broadened our knowledge and understanding of the world forcing us to reexamine our place as citizens in a global society. Educational institutions are in a race to keep up with our changing world desperately trying to avoid making “moral monsters” of our students and parents and children still struggle to negotiate their independence from one another.
D R A M AT U R G I C A L N O T E George Bernard Shaw’s MISALLIANCE takes us into the Tarleton home on May 31, 1909 for an afternoon of mishaps and an examination of the family, gender, and class structures of the early 20th century. With an impeccable sense of humor and a sharp wit, Shaw challenges the Victorian values and shows his appreciation for the new wave of culture and tradition that will replace the old. Victorian England was a society with rigid class structure, with those at the top paying little attention to the lower and working classes. Women were confined and covered up under layers of clothing, and their relationships with the opposite sex were often based on money and security rather than love and companionship. Although it would take decades for society to truly move forward, it was the Edwardian era of 1901-1910 in which the first seeds of reform were planted. MISALLIANCE is set at the turn of the century, a time when the winds of change were blowing through the peaceful English countryside. Edward VII had just taken the throne, the aircraft was invented by Wilbur and Orville Wright, and women’s suffrage was on its feet. Three years before the afternoon in which MISALLIANCE takes place, a 1906 victory by the Liberal government meant social reform and a resurgence of radical ideas like pension and work day laws. Shaw, himself, was a socialist and a member of the Fabian society, devoted to the peaceful spread of socialism throughout England. A glance at his other staged works and essays on social issues like gender equality and labor law reveals a radical side, inspired by the possibility of a more equal and reformed society. Eccentric, eloquent and at times totally oblivious, Shaw’s characters are both a reflection of and a rebellion against the times in which they live. 2 Loyola University Chicago
ABOUT THE PL AY WRIGHT MISALLIANCE was written by George Bernard Shaw in 1909. Shaw was born in Dublin, Ireland to a working-class family in 1856. As a young man, he moved to London and began work as a music and theatre critic. He became a social activist as an important member of the Fabian Society in London, advocating the British socialist movement by giving speeches and writing pamphlets. Shaw’s writing would soon delve further into the literary world with novels, which were often critical of Britain’s social problems of the day. Shaw was most prolific as a playwright, however, composing over sixty plays in his lifetime. Shaw’s many accolades include the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1925 and an Academy Award in 1938 for his work on the film Pygmalion, the film adaptation of his original play. By the time of his death in 1950, his plays were famous for their ironic wit and treatment of contemporary social problems.
