DIRECTOR’S NOTE In 1962, my parents loaded the nine of us into the Buick station wagon—I was relegated to “the way back”—and took us to the big city to see To Kill a Mockingbird in its opening week. I loved Scout and identified intensely with her. And I loved reading recently that Anna Quindlen doesn’t trust anyone who doesn’t “get” Scout. She’s right! Then I read the novel in junior high, as so many of us did and still do. My focus shifted from the spunky girl to her idealized father, which, in candor, I didn’t have. But did anyone then—does anyone now—have a dad like Atticus Finch? Rereading Mockingbird as an adult I am struck by the ways in which the story at once reconnects me to how it touched me as a kid and at the same time reveals deeper and more complex truths. It speaks to all of us: young and old, women and men, Southern and Northern, black and white. Oprah Winfrey, by the way, calls Mockingbird “Our American novel.” She’s right, too! To Kill a Mockingbird is an easy and graceful read, beautifully written and structured, and truly moving from many perspectives. Since 1933 (the year in which the novel is set) through 1960 (the year it was published) to 2015, Americans’ views on race have shifted. I think most would say that things have improved. But we still grapple with many of the same issues that vex Harper Lee’s characters; change, when it comes at all, is excruciatingly slow. As we rehearse this production, Americans, their hands held above their heads, have taken to the streets in cities all over the country with the cry, “Black Lives Matter.” Mockingbird resonates in 2015 as much as it did when it was published. People who look like Tom Robinson are accused—even killed—because of false assumptions and racial bias. In the play, after the trial, a character remarks, “maybe we’re taking a little step.” We hope and fight for a world where the kind of prejudice Tom Robinson encounters is unimaginable; art like To Kill a Mockingbird reminds us that there are many more steps to take and nudges us to believe that, someday, we just might get there.

SyNOPSIS - SPOILER ALERT! John Falstaff is having financial difficulties. On top of that, Justice Shallow and his youthful cousin, Slender, have come to Windsor because Falstaff has conned them out of money. Falstaff decides to woo the wives of two of the town’s leading merchants, Page and Ford, to get money out of them. He sends his page, Robin, to each of the wives with a letter. The wives compare the letters and find that they are identical. The wives decide to teach Falstaff a lesson and devise a plan. They invite him to Mistress Ford’s house at a time when Master Ford will be out. Falstaff ’s companions, Pistol and Nym, tell Master Ford about Falstaff ’s intentions and Ford, a naturally jealous man, resolves to catch his wife being unfaithful. He disguises himself as Master Brook, a man with a passion for Mistress Ford, and goes to Falstaff and offers him money to woo her on his behalf. Falstaff tells him that a meeting has already been arranged and agrees to ‘Master Brook’s’ request. Meanwhile, Slender has made friends with a local clergyman, Parson Evans, and has fallen for Page’s daughter, Anne. But Anne is already secretly meeting a young courtier, Fenton, of whom Page disapproves. Anne’s mother, Mistress Page, is determined that she will marry the French doctor, Caius. When Caius hears about Slender’s suit he challenges Parson Evans to a duel. The landlord of the Garter Inn confuses matters by setting different places for the duel, which results in the antagonists making up their differences. Falstaff arrives at Mistress Ford’s house but his wooing is interrupted by Mistress Page’s announcement that the men are returning. They hide Falstaff in a large laundry basket, and he is carried out and tipped into a muddy river bank. The wives, amused by his folly, decide to repeat the incident and invite Falstaff to come again. He is reluctant but Master Brook persuades him to accept, but his visit is again interrupted by Master Ford. Ford searches the laundry basket but this time Falstaff is disguised as the elderly aunt of one of the servants. When Ford finds nothing in the laundry basket he loses his temper and angrily beats the ‘aunt’ out of the house. The wives laughingly tell their husbands about the trick and Page suggests that they should publicly humiliate Falstaff to stop him from preying on honest wives. Mistress Ford invites Falstaff to meet her at night in Windsor Park, disguised as Herne the Hunter. Parson Evans organizes Anne and some children to dress as fairies. Anne plans to elope with Fenton, while her parents are plotting her kidnapping by Caius and a secret marriage to him. They all meet in the park and Falstaff is pinched and taunted by the fairies. Anne escapes and returns as Fenton’s wife, while Caius and Slender both find that they have eloped with boys. The play ends with the Pages giving their blessing to Anne’s marriage and everyone laughing at the evening’s antics and the humiliation of Falstaff.

Coming to the Lowndes Shakespeare Center March 12-15, 2015
Leonard Nimoy’s Leonard Nimoy’s Vincent dramatizes the life of Vincent van Gogh in this intimate one-man play adapted from the actual letters between the artist and his brother, Theo. Vincent’s story is so much more than that of the misunderstood artist who cut off his own ear. His life was one of great passions, and even greater turmoil, ultimately ending in suicide one summer day in 1890. This play, however, is not about the demise of one man. It is about the meaning and significance of Vincent van Gogh’s life to all humankind. As seen through the eyes of Theo, Vincent lives on as a symbol of inspiration, courage, passion, and the lust for life that art kindles in all of us. The performance runs 90 minutes and includes over 100 stunning projections of Vincent’s artwork. This production is presented by Starry Night Theater Company and performed by James Briggs, a graduate of Sarasota’s Asolo Conservatory of Professional Actor Training. Performances of Vincent will take place at the John and Rita Lowndes Shakespeare Center’s Mandell Theater. Tickets may be purchased by calling the box office at (407) 722-7037, online at www.orlandoshakes.org, or by visiting the box office located inside the Lowndes Shakespeare Center, 812 E. Rollins St., Orlando. Thursday, March 12 at 7PM • Friday, March 13 at 8PM Saturday, March 14 at 8PM • Sunday, March 15 at 2PM
