PROGRAM NOTES FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR I remember when I first saw the film Tom Jones. Still in my teen years and going to an all-boys school, it was titillating and scandalous. Along with Goldfinger, it was one of those films we snuck out to see more than once. The famously seductive banquet scene between the incredibly handsome Albert Finney and an attractive middle aged woman he met in an inn was the lunch room topic for hilarious mimicry. Years later while understudying Albert Finney at Steppenwolf, I asked about the filming of the scene and he told me after eating all that food take after take, sex was the last thing on their minds. But it was an outrageously drunken set, and Hugh Griffiths, Albert told me, was so loaded on the set that when he was mistakenly fallen on by his horse, it is said that only his state of inebriation kept him from getting truly hurt. Our stage version, adapted by Jon Jory and directed by Bill Brown, is filled with the kind of fresh and sexy theatricality that truly reflects the Fielding novel. Bill’s vision moves swiftly with elegance and charm, lifting the novel off the page. With gorgeous young ladies seducing randy young men and hilarious swashbuckling swordfights, it is a feast for the eyes. But perhaps some of the most freeing aspects of the Fielding novel and indeed Jon Jory’s adaptation are the cross currents of class structure traversed by desire and, finally, simple humanity. The common denominator of sexual desire renders all classes into a single human experience. And in Tom Jones’ case it is a hilarious and profoundly human reduction.
BJ Jones, Artistic Director
FROM THE DIRECTOR The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling by Henry Fielding was one of the world’s first bestsellers. Published in 1749, this brawling, lusty tale is also one of the world’s greatest romance novels – for the heart of this story is a romance that begins in childhood. Tom Jones is in love with Sophia Western. Tom is an honorable young man with an inexhaustible appetite for women. And women cannot get nearly enough of Tom. This complicates matters somewhat. But Sophia is a determined young woman and Tom loves her like no other. I first saw the terrific film version of Tom Jones when I was about eighteen. I immediately read the novel. This was the seventies (please don’t do the math) and my innocence and what seems in retrospect to be the innocence of the times made Tom Jones a terribly seductive tale. Sex seemed to be fun – good, clean fun. And great love seemed to be possible. But rascals needed to be thrashed and sword fights ferociously fought. For love don’t come easy. One more thought: Paul Sills invented Story Theatre nearly fifty years ago in Chicago. This technique, which allows for a freer kind of storytelling, has been used in countless productions – from Nicholas Nickleby to Jersey Boys to this performance. Welcome to Northlight and Jon Jory’s delightful new adaptation of Tom Jones.

PROGRAM NOTES 18TH CENTURY ENGLAND AND THE TOPIC OF SEX 18th century England reconceived sexuality as a basic part of nature, and sex became a prominent part of written and printed culture. There were pornographic journals, such as The Convent Garden Magazine and Amorous Repository, which advertised for prostitutes and brothels. Sexually-explicit prints and paintings were commonplace. Newspapers advertised cures for venereal disease and aphrodisiacs. There was extensive literature about prostitutes in books such as Moll Flanders and Fanny Hill, and sex therapist James Graham began promoting ideologies and techniques for making sex more fruitful and pleasurable. Prostitution was widespread and highly visible. In London, there were approximately 10,000 female prostitutes encompassing all types of sex workers, from amateur to professional, and including kept women, streetwalkers, “six-penny whores,” and well-bred courtesans. Prostitutes even advertised in directories such as Jack Harris’s The Whoremonger Guide to London. Many women felt more secure as the kept woman of a gentleman than as a servant or a wife. Some high-class demimondaines and courtesans even found public fame and respect. It was commonplace for gentlemen to keep mistresses and to be seen in public with them. Wives often approved of their husbands having mistresses, as it saved them from pregnancy. Men’s sexual behavior was far more public and acceptable than women’s.
A “woman of pleasure” from a high class brothel (1796)
Chastity was the expectation for every unmarried woman of the middle to upper class. There are conflicting views on whether chastity was empowering or a constraint imposed by men. Female purity was prized above that of males, and women were expected to be virtuous in part as a way of compensating for men’s own inabilities to achieve this “perfection” in themselves. A woman’s chastity was also part of her value as a kind of property, first in possession of her parents and later her husband. Despite the system’s evident patriarchy, many women found meaning and worth in their virginity and valued the intimacy it brought to their marriage. Their limits on sexual interaction also allowed them to fend off undesirable mates, elevate their status, and afforded them a certain moral influence. While some men saw their wives’ virginity as a spoil of marriage, thus objectifying them as a conquest for male pleasure, others equated it with moral character and maintained it to observe tradition. These traditions were, of course, originated by men, which limited women’s choices considerably and held them to tremendous double standards. The societal paradox of simultaneously valuing female virtue and male sexual freedom is seen in Samuel Richardson’s novel Pamela; or Virtue Rewarded and in Henry Fielding’s Tom Jones. In Pamela, Pamela Andrews, a young maidservant to the wealthy Mr. B, is repeatedly subjected to her master’s attempts at seduction NORTHLIGHT THEATRE |

and rape but resists him each time. Attracted to her intelligence, innocence, and moral uprightness, Mr. B eventually proposes marriage, thus Pamela is rewarded with an “equitable love.” While the novel was a bestseller, its argument for female virtue and empowerment also demonstrates the limited worldview of its time. While the story is intended to portray female virtue and a woman’s ability to convert a wayward man into a “good” one, his oppressive behavior is overlooked, which suggests how disempowered the heroine really is. Tom Jones, on the other hand, shows the problematic side of male promiscuity. Tom, however wellintentioned, sleeps with a variety of women over the course of the novel, which result in near-life consequences: he nearly impregnates his first partner Molly, offends Sophia—the woman he truly loves, is caught in an ongoing relationship with Lady Bellaston that he would like to end, and eventually thinks he may have even slept with his own mother. Throughout these experiences, he is consistently torn between the duty he knows he must owe to his partners and his impulsive sexual nature, never able to find the proper context or relationship to express his desires. Eventually he marries the virtuous Sophia, a relationship truly based in love and commitment. He finds stability with a “good” woman’s influence.
PROGRAM NOTES While this narrative of a virtuous woman taming the untamed nature of her man remains progressively questionable, Sophia is a strong, welldrawn character—inspired by Fielding’s wife Charlotte—and her virtue exists beyond her relationship with Tom. And Tom’s behavior is actually critiqued by Fielding as the follies of a goodhearted but naïve young man, who has yet to learn the responsible ways of his sexuality. Tom and the women he is with are hurt when he behaves carelessly, and despite the humorous nature of these bawdy episodes, the ending suggests these trysts have only been stumbling blocks for Tom to find real love, exemplified in Sophia’s virtuous behavior, which, according to the novel, he should have been following all along. Remnants of 17th century Puritanism also informed 18th century sexual practices, rooted in the concepts of constancy versus emotional spontaneity. Puritan ideals stressed the necessity of self-control and the constant evaluation of one’s conduct toward a practical and moral end. This extended to all matters, from religion to marriage to commerce to even war. Despite whatever reputation they may have gained in subsequent centuries, it is a fallacy, however, that
Puritans were unemotional and so severe as to lack spirited interpersonal friendships or passionate marriages. Sex in marriage was actually a frequent topic for writing and sermons, and it was felt that, while sexual relations outside of marriage were “wrong,” that marital intimacy was quite necessary for a husband and wife to be unified. The 17th century ideology was that sex could be a sensual and spiritual experience – “the way God intended it.” Tom’s struggle in Tom Jones could be considered one exploration of this dichotomy: 17th century puritanical view of sex versus 18th century sexual freedom for men. While Tom begins to believe he should follow his urges, he eventually learns that practicality and love result from constancy and commitment. 18th century England, much like today, contained a variety of views on sexual behavior and performances of sexuality, influenced by gender roles, religion, popular culture, and past traditions. Practically all prominent thinkers of the time discussed these evolving sexual mores, but opposed sex as a blind and merely animalistic practice. In short, the period acknowledged sex as long as it remained modest and respectable.

PROGRAM NOTES A BRIEF TIMELINE OF HENRY FIELDING’S LIFE April 22, 1707 Henry Fielding is born to Edmund Fielding, an army officer of poor reputation, and his wife Sarah at Sharpham Park, near Glastonbury, Somerset. 1709-19 Henry grows up on a farm in East Stour, Dorset, under the financial care of his maternal grandfather Sir Henry Gould. 1719 Henry is sent to Eton after his father remarries and his siblings are left in the care of Lady Gould. Edmund begins to steal the profits of his children’s estate, as left to them by Sir Gould. 1727 His first public works, now lost, include The Coronation: A Poem and An Ode on the Birthday to celebrate the accession of George II. 1728-29 He studies at the University of Leyden and dabbles in political journalism. 1729 He moves to London, and begins a career in theater. 1730-37 He has many plays performed throughout London, including The Author’s Farce (1730), Rape Upon Rape (1730), Tom Thumb (1730), The Lottery (1732), The Miser (1733), Don Quixote in England (1734), The Virgin Unmasked (1735), and The Historical Register for 1736 (1737), among others. As “The Great Mogul” he assumes management of the Little Theatre in the Haymarket where he stages most of his experimental plays. His personal life is filled with conflict, as he runs up debts and gets into fights with his friends in London. 1734 He elopes and marries Charlotte Cradock and moves back to East Stour. His life regains stability.

1737 The Stage Licensing Act, partially motivated by The Historical Register for 1736, effectively ends Henry’s theatrical career. 1739-40 He founds the Champion, a periodical of literary criticism and topical essays. 1744 Charlotte dies and is buried in London. Devastated, he does not attend her funeral. 1747 He marries his cook/maid Mary Daniel; their first child, William, is born three months later. 1749 He becomes a magistrate for the county of Middlesex. Over the next several years, he works extensively to draft bills, publish pamphlets, and institute raids on street gangs in order to reduce crime. He also publishes four editions of Tom Jones. 1754 With Henry’s health failing, his brother John assumes his place as Magistrate for Westminster and Middlesex. Henry travels to Lisbon to restore his health, and dies in Junqueira on October 8th. 1755 The Journal of a Voyage to Lisbon, Henry’s account of his final voyage, is published in two versions.
PROGRAM NOTES RESIDENT DRAMATURG KRISTIN LEAHEY INTERVIEWS TOM JONES SCENIC DESIGNER JEFFREY D. KMIEC KL: How did you collaborate with Director Bill Brown and the rest of the design team for Tom Jones? JDK: Much of our initial collaboration comes from sharing and discussing research. During the initial design meetings, the costume designers brought a lot of research to the table that hadn’t even crossed my mind initially. In seeing how they approached the text from a different angle, I was able to explore other possibilities with them and the director. KL: What are some of your influences for this design? JDK: Much of the inspiration for the set came from 18th Century English and Dutch “The Swing” by Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1767) pastoral paintings. Artists such as Thomas Gainsborough, Joseph Wright, and John Constable captured not only the wonderful period details of the Georgian Period but also the sensibilities that drive the structure and feel of Tom Jones. Their paintings are full of beautifully draped tree canopies, cascading natural hills, and are luxuriously festooned with shrubbery and wildlife. These paintings reflect how the Georgians idolized the “simple country life” they strived for in both their art and in the landscaping of their own homes. While the French were meticulously trimming their geometric gardens, the English were making even greater efforts to shape their landscapes into the perfect “natural” Eden. One painting in particular captures how the English wanted to interact with nature: Fragonard’s “The Swing.” The figures are playful and romantic and every fold of the woman’s petticoat is reflected in every outcropping of foliage. KL: How do you make the set malleable for this play, particularly with its robust fight scenes? JDK: It is incredibly important to the team that the actors are able to move into and throughout the space in a variety of ways. The world is a dynamic one where action can come from anywhere, and a healthy athleticism is necessary to climb/jump/duck around every corner.

Model of the Tom Jones set
KL: Can you take us through your process with the show – from conception, to preproduction, to the build, to seeing it onstage? What is your role and how does it change? JDK: First and foremost, I meet with the director and my fellow designers. In talking through the text and discussing visual research (both period research and conceptual) we work through the composition and function of the space. We do this through scenic models, sketches, renderings, and drafting. Once the design is finalized the scene shop takes all of these materials, and starts building the design. During this phase of the process I am working with the Technical Director, shop staff, painters, and props master to make sure they have all the information they need to complete the design. Once the set is loaded in, we all work towards finalizing paint treatments, set dressing, etc. and ensure that the director and actors are comfortable with the space and have all the tools they need to perform the play. KL: Are there any tricks or areas of interest with this design you’d like to share with our audience? JDK: While there are no hidden images or secret messages in the set, I hope that the world we have created allows the excitement and passion of Tom Jones to come to life!
