THE SHAKESPEARE THEATRE OF NEW JERSEY BONNIE J. MONTE is now in her 24th season as the company’s Artistic Director. Under her leadership, the Theatre has evolved into one of the largest and most respected classical theatres in the nation. Ms. Monte has garnered national recognition for her highly successful revitalization of the institution, and for her outstanding commitment to arts education and professional training. The Theatre has become one of the nation’s leading training grounds for emerging classic theatre artists. During her more than two decades at the helm, the institution successfully completed a major capital campaign resulting in the complete renovation and expansion of the F.M. Kirby Shakespeare Theatre in 1998. She is currently working on The Legacy Project, the Theatre’s new campaign to perfect and protect the institution’s future. In 2002, the Theatre’s 40th anniversary year, she initiated a new partnership with the College of Saint Elizabeth, attaining a second summer performance venue for the organization: the Outdoor Stage, a unique and stunning Greek amphitheatre on St. Elizabeth’s campus. That same year, The Star-Ledger named the company “Regional Theatre of the Year,” and The Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation awarded The Shakespeare Theatre a prestigious Strategic Partnership Grant in the amount of $1 million. In its January 2003 issue, New Jersey Monthly named Ms. Monte one of “40 New Jerseyans We Love.” She has received numerous awards and honors including a Women of Achievement Award, sponsored by the New Jersey General Assembly; an Alumni Achievement Award from Bethany College in West Virginia; and a Person of the Year Award from the National Society of Arts and Letters, for her longtime efforts to nurture young artists. She has also been named Professional Artist of the Year by the Arts Council of the Morris Area, and one of the 25 Most Influential People in the Arts in New Jersey by The Star-Ledger. Prior to arriving in New Jersey, Ms. Monte was a casting director at the prestigious Manhattan Theatre Club in New York City. From 1981 to 1989, she was Associate Artistic Director at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massachusetts, working closely with renowned Artistic Director Nikos Psacharopoulos. While there, Ms. Monte initiated many new programs, including a second stage and an outdoor free theatre. In 1982, she was part of a writing team, which
included Psacharopoulos and Tennessee Williams, collaborating on Tennessee Williams: A Celebration, a major retrospective tribute to Mr. Williams’ entire literary canon. During her tenure at Williamstown, Ms. Monte also cast and helped produce joint ventures with other major theatres, including Sweet Bird of Youth at the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto, A Streetcar Named Desire on Broadway at Circle-in-the-Square, The Glass Menagerie at The Long Wharf Theatre, and Arms and the Man at The Pasadena Playhouse. Since 1990, she has directed over 50 productions for The Shakespeare Theatre, including stagings of numerous Shakespeare plays, as well as work from the Russian classic canon with a focus on Chekhov and Ostrovsky. Her special affinity for Tennessee Williams has resulted in highly acclaimed productions of A Streetcar Named Desire, Camino Real and Sweet Bird of Youth. She also directed shows for the Theatre’s Shakespeare LIVE! touring company including The Myths of Ancient Greece: Old Echoes, New Ears, which she also authored. She has created a number of original translations/ adaptations for the company’s Main and Outdoor stages, including Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Marivaux’s The Triumph of Love, Pirandello’s Enrico IV, Ostrovsky’s Artists and Admirers, Maeterlinck’s The Blue Bird, Verne’s Around the World in Eighty Days, Goldoni’s The Servant of Two Masters, which was published by Playscripts, Inc, and this year’s The Alchemist. Ms. Monte has been actively involved in the training of new talent for the American stage through numerous training programs for over 30 years, and has also engaged in residencies at the University of South Carolina, where she directed The Trojan Women, and the University of Notre Dame, where she directed The Bacchae. She has been on the faculty of Drew University and The New School in Manhattan. Ms. Monte obtained a postgraduate conservatory degree in directing from The Hartman Conservatory and a B.A. in theatre from Bethany College in Bethany, West Virginia. She has Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degrees from Drew University and the College of Saint Elizabeth. She is originally from Stamford, Connecticut.

DIRECTOR'S NOTES
“I
f people know anything at all about Henry VIII [the play] they are most likely to know that it caused the destruction of the Globe Theatre, or that it has been the source of arguments over Shakespearean authorship, more than they are likely to have a close acquaintance with the actual text. But this would not have been the case a century ago, at the height of Henry VIII’s popularity on the stage. It strikes me as a great pity that the play should be so under-appreciated now, because (and I may as well state this right away) I think it a splendid play and one that richly rewards close attention.” –Gordon McMullan, Lecturer, Department of English, Kings College, London. “King Henry VIII (All Is True)”, The Arden Shakespeare Sir Henry Wotton, a spectator at the first recorded performance of Henry VIII, then known as All Is True, said: “... I will entertain you at the present with what happened this week at the Banks side. The King's players had a new play called All Is True, representing some principal pieces of the reign of Henry the Eighth, which set forth with many extraordinary circumstances of pomp and majesty: sufficient in truth within awhile to make greatness very familiar, if not ridiculous. Now King Henry making a Masque at the Cardinal Wolsey’s house, and certain cannons being shot off at his entry, some of the paper or other stuff, wherewith one of them was stopped, did light on the thatch, where being thought at first but idle smoak, and their eyes more attentive to the show, it kindled inwardly, and ran round like a train, consuming within less than an hour the whole house to the very ground. This was the fatal period of that virtuous fabrick, wherein yet nothing did perish but wood and straw, and a few forsaken cloaks; only one man had his breeches set on fire, that would perhaps have broyled him, if he had not by the benefit of a provident wit, put it out with a bottle of ale.” It was not until the publication in the First Folio in 1623 that this play was referred to as Henry VIII. –“The Life and Letters of Sir Henry Wotton,” ed. Logan Pearsall Smith (Oxford, 1907) “The play is filled with stories of positions won and lost, with rumors, with intrigues, with factions forming and breaking, with attempts to secure that which can never be truly secured— that is, favor. Behind all of the play's reminders of Fortune and of the guiding hand of Providence, we are repeatedly faced with the realities of life in a world where gold buys subversion and false witness, and where treachery and self-serving are the rule. In this world, one survives through constant vigilance— with an eye on the person above on the ladder and an eye on the person below. Both are equally dangerous.” –Barbara A. Mowat. “Henry VIII: A Modern Perspective” How The Tudors Came to Power For over thirty years, England was engaged in civil war between the royal houses of Lancaster and York. This became known as The War of the Roses. The house of York reigned supreme with the rise of King Edward IV. However, after his death, the claim to the English throne would be fought for once again. The Throne was then usurped by the infamous Richard III, Edward IV’s youngest brother. With the kingdom in disarray,
“Portrait of Henry VIII in Early Manhood” “Cardinal Thomas Wolsey (1475–1530), Artist Unknown Royal Minister, Archbishop of York” Artist Unknown support for the Lancaster cause grew once more; this time led by Henry Tudor. If Henry proved to be victorious, he pledged to marry Edward IV’s daughter, Elizabeth of York, to unite the two houses. At the Battle of Bosworth, Richard III was defeated and Henry was crowned king— King Henry VII. This began a new start for England, no longer divided, but now under one name, the Tudors. To strengthen foreign affairs, Henry VII married off his daughter, Margaret Tudor, to James IV of Scotland and his son, Arthur, to Katherine of Aragon. These marriages would ensure peace between England, Scotland, and Spain. However, Arthur died shortly after his marriage. Henry VII then proposed that his second son, Henry, should marry Katherine. That Henry would soon become known as Henry VIII. “Henry VIII was first published, together with thirty-five other plays, in 1623 in the book we now call The Shakespeare First Folio. Until Edmond Malone did so in 1790, no one suggested that the play was the work of anyone else but Shakespeare; and until James Spedding made the argument in 1850, no one attempted to attribute parts of it to John Fletcher, Shakespeare's successor as principal dramatist of the King's Men. Since Spedding, a number of different scholars, using different methods, have attempted to discriminate between those parts of the play to be credited to Fletcher. These scholars have arrived at no consensus, although all who see the play as jointly authored have agreed that the collaborators who wrote the play included Shakespeare and Fletcher. Opinion has continued to fluctuate about whether the play is a work of collaboration or is solely Fletcher's or is solely Shakespeare's, with belief in collaborative authorship currently in the ascendant.” –Paul Werstine and Barbara A. Mowat “Henry VIII”, The Folger Shakespeare Library

“The artist appeals to that part of our being which is not dependent on wisdom; to that in us which is a gift and not an acquisition — and, therefore, more permanently enduring. He speaks to our capacity for delight and wonder, to the sense of mystery surrounding our lives; to our sense of pity, and beauty, and pain.”
