THE SHAKESPEARE THEATRE OF NEW JERSEY BONNIE J. MONTE is now in her 25th 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, The Alchemist, and this season's The Guardsman. 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 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 In the opening of his hundred-page preface to Misalliance, written between 1909 and 1910, Shaw writes, “on the subject of children we are very deeply confused… If you must hold yourself up to your children as an object lesson (which is not at all necessary), hold yourself up as a warning and not as an example.” This issue of poor parenting was one with which Shaw was intimately familiar. Shaw’s father, George Carr Shaw, was a failed corn merchant with a drinking problem and a squint, and his mother, Lucinda (whose name Shaw gives to Gunner’s deceased mother in Misalliance), was a mediocre singer who abandoned the family when Shaw was just sixteen so that she could move to London with her singing teacher and lover, Vandeleur Lee, a man widely regarded as a charlatan. Considering his early years, it comes as no surprise that so many of Shaw’s plays, including You Never Can Tell, Mrs. Warren’s Profession, Major Barbara, and Misalliance involve children somehow estranged from their parents. In Misalliance, the gulf between parent and child feels particularly wide. “I tell you there’s a wall ten feet thick and ten miles high between parent and child,” John Tarleton tells Lord Summerhays. “Depend on it, in a thousand years it’ll be considered bad form to know who your father and mother are.”
The depth and subtlety with which Shaw explores the theme of parents and children in Misalliance seems to suggest the he is using this theme as a way of examining the state 63727han_a.qxp:program 5:47 PM Page 8 of England and Europe6/24/10 in 1909. In England, the opening decade of the Twentieth Century was a period of immense social and political change. The death of Queen Victoria in 1901 and the succession of her son, Edward VII, led to changing social values. Edward, known as ‘Bertie’ to his friends, had such a reputation for philandering that some referred to him as ‘Edward the Caresser,’ while his voracious appetite earned
him the alternate nickname, “King Tum-Tum.” The era that bears his name was one of fashionable parties, immense luxury, and shifting attitudes — a trend aided by the ascent of a wealthy merchant/industrialist class (of which the Tarletons are a part), whose wealth often dwarfed that of the aristocracy despite the aristocracy’s technically higher social status. The fight for women’s rights and suffrage, already an issue of interest in the late Victorian period, gathered momentum with the 1903 founding of The Women’s Social and Political Union, which organized highly visible pro-suffrage demonstrations. The Fabian Society, of which Shaw was an active member, was one of several Socialist organizations that experienced huge growth during these years. Colonialism was also coming under question. The Boer War of 1899 to 1902 in South Africa brought stories of English abuses back home, and led some to question to virtues of the Empire. Internationally, as England feared that it did not have the military strength necessary to defend its vast empire, the rise of Germany as a military and industrial power bred fear throughout Europe and Asia. Thus, the generation gap that separates parents and children in Misalliance is also a gap of history, a gap between the inhabitants of wildly different worlds. Shaw saw his universe changing, its values transforming, and Europe spinning almost out of control. Out of this chaos, he created parents and children that seem barely even to know one another, each driven by a different ideology, each holding dear what the other despises. In Tarleton’s conservatory, Shaw created the world as he saw it — a world of useless moralities and characters who willingly deceive themselves and those around them — a world destined for cataclysm only hinted at by the crashing of an aeroplane into a greenhouse. Shaw's brilliance lies in his ability to do all this while keeping his audience laughing. Conveying these profound themes through humor, through biting wit and delightfully acerbic dialogue, Shaw uses delicious comedy to help us digest his often bitter pills of thought.
