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.

For Our Audience! We’re finding that many of our audience members are still not aware of the fact that we provide a wonderful Audience Guide for each and every one of our shows on our website. They are very helpful for those who like to read up on a play before attending, or for those who are eager to peruse a synopsis of the plot. And in the spirit of spoiler alerts, they remain on-line for those who wish to investigate a play more after viewing the production! And a P.S. from the actors and your fellow audience members: Remember, texting is just as bad as talking during a performance!

“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.”

DIRECTOR'S NOTES “Out of love for the truth and the desire to bring it to light, the following propositions will be discussed at Wittenberg, under the presidency of Reverend Father Martin Luther, Monk of the Order of Saint Augustine, Master of Arts and of Sacred Theology, and Lecturer in Ordinary on the same at that place.” –Disputation of Doctor Martin Luther on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences (a.k.a the 95 Theses) “Then, gentle friends, aid me in this attempt; / And I, that have with subtle syllogisms / Gravell’d the pastors of the German church, / And made the flowering pride of Wittenberg Swarm to my problems as th’infernal spirits / On sweet Musaeus when he came to hell,Will be as cunning as Agrippa was, / Whose shadows made all Europe honour him.” –The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus “You are the most immediate to our throne; / And with no less nobility of love / Than that which dearest father bears his son, / Do I impart toward you. For your intent / In going back to school in Wittenberg, / It is most retrograde to our desire; / And we beseech you, bend you to remain / Here, in the cheer and comfort of our eye, / Our chiefest courtier, cousin, and our son.” –The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark
* * *
A prince, a philosopher and a priest walk into a bar… That may sound like the beginning of a joke, but in the case of Wittenberg, it is the start of a witty, entertaining and provocative debate about the forces that drive us, and in what we choose to place our trust. What happens when you put a character who would sell his soul for what he desires, the man who sparked the Protestant Reformation, and a young prince suffering from a severe case of indecisiveness in the same place at the same time? They wrestle with philosophy and theology, they grapple with doubt and faith, and they dance between fate and free will—all in their ultimate quest for Truth. Hamlet and his two professors, Doctor Faustus and Father Martin Luther, each stand at a crossroads in their lives. It is a crossroads with which we are all too familiar. We stand there ourselves on many occasions, troubled, doubting, wondering which path to choose, what to believe (or not to believe), and wondering how much control we have over our own lives. Sometimes we have faith that our problems will resolve themselves. Sometimes we struggle to be the master of own destinies, and sometimes we question our very existence and purpose. Some of us may listen to Faustus’ advice: “Remember: you write the drama of your life, not some unseen hand.” Some might heed Luther’s: “It is vital always to remember that God has a plan for us.” Is it your own inner voice you listen to, or is it God’s? Are you exercising your free will, or are you merely part of a divine plan? Do you believe in doubt or faith? You might choose one over another, or you might want to strike a balance. Or perhaps you stand at the crossroads and the implications are just dizzying. Not to worry, the doctor is in. So is the priest. They can help whatever ails you.

* * * Wittenberg University– founded in 1502 by Frederick the Wise, Elector of Saxony. Building upon the works of Martin Luther, it became the birthplace of the Protestant Reformation. Wittenberg was the center of the German Enlightenment as well. Notable attendees included Dorothea Erxleben, Germany’s first female medical doctor, and Georg Joachim Rheticus— a mathematician and cartographer best known for his trigonometric tables, and as the sole student of Nicolaus Copernicus. Rheticus facilitated the publication of Copernicus’ On the Revolution of the Heavenly Spheres. In fiction, attendees of Wittenberg include Hamlet and Horatio from Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Shelley’s Victor Frankenstein, and Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus. Doctor Faustus– the protagonist and tragic hero of Christopher Marlowe's play of the same name. Faustus is a man of grand ambition willing to sacrifice his soul for ultimate knowledge and power. He represents the spirit of the Renaissance, particularly in regard to his shunning of the medieval God-centered universe and his embracing of human potential. Faustus makes a pact with Lucifer and is ultimately damned for all eternity. Perhaps the best known speech from the play begins: Was this the face that launch'd a thousand ships, / And burnt the topless towers of Ilium– Sweet Helen, make me immortal with a kiss.– / Her lips suck forth my soul: see, where it flies!– Come, Helen, come, give me my soul again. Martin Luther (1483-1546)– German monk, Catholic priest, and professor of theology at the University of Wittenberg. He strongly disputed the claim that freedom from God’s punishment for sin could be purchased monetarily. He challenged John Tetzel, a Dominican Friar selling indulgences for the forgiveness of sin (as sanctioned by Pope Leo X) and credited with the saying “As soon as the coin in the coffer rings, the soul from Purgatory springs.” Luther’s debate took the form of The Ninety-Five Theses on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences, which argues that forgiveness is a gift from God, not a monetary transaction. Luther posted his Ninety-Five Theses on the door of the Castle Church of Wittenberg, which sparked the Protestant Reformation and led to his excommunication. “I cannot and I will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe.”
THE SHAKESPEARE THEATRE OF NEW JERSEY Hamlet– the title character of Shakespeare’s most famous tragedy; Prince of Denmark, heir to the throne, “the Melancholy Dane.” Right or wrong, Hamlet is most often painted as lacking the will to act decisively. In Shakespeare’s play, he wrestles with his conscience amidst a “sea of troubles” torn between courses of action such as revenge or mercy, and living or “shuffling off this mortal coil,” uncertain whether to subscribe to a divine plan or to his own free will. “The readiness is all…” The Eternal Feminine– a psychological and philosophical construct that represents an immutable concept of "woman," or what is at the center of femininity. The idea springs from a belief that men and women have different core "essences" that cannot be altered by time or environment. Within this idealized concept they are often angelic, responsible for drawing men upward on a moral and spiritual path. Specific virtues such as modesty, gracefulness, domesticity, purity, civility, compliancy and reticence, were regarded as essentially feminine. French philosopher and feminist Simone de Beauvoir regarded the eternal feminine as a patriarchal construct that limits women within a passive “erotic, birthing or nurturing body” and denies a woman’s individuality, trapping her inside unrealizable ideals.
