A
Word From… René D. Copeland, Producing Artistic Director Welcome to Tennessee Repertory Theatre and our exciting 2012-13 season! Last month we had a blast with the comedy Clybourne Park—I hope you had a chance to see it—and now, for something completely different yet no less compelling, we bring you a tale of obsession couched in the dark and bloody world of a Victorian London where violence and evil lurk just under the surface of civility. I am very pleased to have an incredibly talented guest director, Pete Vann, bringing this story to life on our stage. You may remember Pete as an actor in such past Tennessee Rep productions as All My Sons (“Frank”) or The 39 Steps (one of the two “clowns”—his “Mrs. McGarrigle”, the wife of the Scottish innkeeper, lives in infamy around here). He has a boundless imagination and a precise sense of theatre craft that makes him an ideal artistic partner on this project. And as usual, you won’t find better actors anywhere than the ones bringing their talents to bear on this story, and our tech staff, led by Gary C. Hoff, have outdone themselves in envisioning and creating a uniquely theatrical world for the story. As always, I urge you to tell your friends, and spread the word about what we’re up to. It’s not too late to join the Tennessee Rep family by becoming a subscriber, by the way. We work hard every day to assure you’ll always find the Tennessee Rep experience to be entertaining, stimulating, and valuable. I hope you’ll let us know if we are fulfilling that commitment to you!
Peter Vann, Director I have been thrilled and honored throughout this process to be making my Tennessee Rep directorial debut with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. This cast and crew is amazingly talented and the story, woven together here by Jeffrey Hatcher, is simply stunning. Originally written in 1886 by Robert Louis Stevenson as a novella, it was an instant success and immediately adapted for the stage. Since 1908, there has not been a period of longer than five years without a new stage adaptation of the story. There are over 123 film versions, not including radio, as well as a number of parodies and imitations. Like those other haununted Victorians, Ebenezer Scrooge, Dracula and Dorian Gray, the two-faced Jekyll/Hyde has ascended to the status of cultural archetype, becoming a permanent figure in our mental landscape. Part of the story’s staying power comes from its inextricable linkage to another bit of history from the same period. On August 4, 1888, Thomas Russell Sullivan’s acclaimed dramatic adaptation (assistant stage managed, incidentally, by Bram Stoker!) premiered in London. On August 31, 1888, the first mutilation murder attributed to Jack the Ripper terrorized London’s East End, and during the next seven weeks there were at least four more Ripper murders. Since then, the two tales have been forever intertwined in the public’s consciousness. Hatcher has taken all of this into consideration in his treatment and added to it the uniquely theatrical element of Hyde being portrayed by four different actors, creating a fast and furious psychological thriller. It has something for everyone: blood, guts, romance, and a call for introspection to anyone who has ever struggled with the good and evil potential inside of us all. My hope is that you will come away with a stronger appreciation and respect for the good, for the evil, and for the need for harmony between the two. This is where I might say, “Sit back, relax and enjoy the show,” but if you use more than the edge of your seat and are able to relax anytime soon, then we haven’t done our job. Happy Halloween, and enjoy the show! 18

A Behanding in Spokane
by Martin McDonagh
7 PM November 8–10, 2012 Black as sin and funny as hell, A Behanding in Spokane is Martin McDonagh’s first American-set play. Carmichael has been searching for his missing left hand for almost half a century. Enter two bickering lovebirds with a hand to sell, and a hotel clerk with an aversion to gunfire, and we’re set for a hilarious roller coaster of love, hate, desperation, and hope. “Insane yet also fiendishly funny. McDonagh is a specialist in unleashed violence, in which he shamelessly revels. Here the violence is comical, and we are kept guessing throughout a farce that is as irresistible as it is improbable…moves at farce speed from shock to comic shock.” –Bloomberg.com
