Message from Bard’s Artistic and Managing Directors

Welcome to Bard on the Beach 2013! The two of us first met over 20 years ago when Christopher’s sister Sarah, with whom I had worked in the same company in Hong Kong, introduced me to this quirky little Shakespearean theatre company down in a tent on the beach at Vanier Park. One thing led to another and Cathay Pacific Airways, for whom I was then working in Canada, became one of the first significant sponsors of the Festival. I am thrilled to be deepening our partnership this year, as I take on leadership of the administrative team to complement Chris’ artistic talents and focus…

…And, 24 years on from that modest beginning when John and I met, Bard has become Vancouver’s signature theatre festival and an icon of summer in the Lower Mainland! This year there is another great lineup of plays at the Festival. We bring you three outstanding Shakespeare productions: the delightfully funny, joyous Twelfth Night, a provocative, up-to-the-minute version of Hamlet, and a jazz-infused Measure For Measure. They prove (again) that Shakespeare is infinitely versatile – you will want to see all three! And don’t miss Elizabeth Rex, the award-winning play about Shakespeare’s acting company and England’s Queen; you will come away with a new and deeper appreciation of the great Bard’s genius. Take advantage of the Festival experience and see more than one play; one visit is not enough! Changes to the physical site in Vanier Park continue with special focus on making sure our gardens are “green” and that patrons are welcomed on site early enough to enjoy some food and drinks, shop in our Boutique, and experience this spectacular setting.

Christopher Gaze and John McCulloch

Where else in the world can you have such a city and mountain vista as a natural backdrop to great theatre? As always, we must thank the pillars of our Festival – our volunteers, our staff and our gifted company of actors, designers, production and site crew – for making it happen. We are also grateful to the many partners who are recognized elsewhere in this program. And this year we have a new partner to thank – the Vancouver International Wine Festival – funds from which are being channeled into expanding our education and training programs for actors, youth, and schoolchildren. Our dream is to create a centre of excellence, unrivalled in Canada, for classical theatre that enriches our communities today and is a legacy for future generations. Ultimately for us, it’s all about partnerships, and especially our most important partnership – with you, our audience. We invite you to enjoy this Festival and the many pleasures to be had on the site and with Bard – our goal is simply for you to have a wonderful experience…and come back again!

The Story What Happens in

It is a century ago at the What You Will Hotel and Spa. We are in Illyria, a part of the world we know today as the Croatian Riviera on the coast of the Adriatic Sea. Duke Orsino is in love with the beautiful Countess Olivia, owner of the property. She, however, is in mourning for the death of her father and brother and refuses to entertain his suit. A young woman named Viola arrives, having just survived a shipwreck. Alone in a strange land and convinced her twin brother Sebastian has drowned, she disguises herself as a boy and offers her services to Orsino as a page named Cesario. Orsino sends Cesario to woo Olivia on his behalf, but instead Olivia falls in love with the ‘boy’. Viola, on the other hand, falls in love with Orsino, with whom she is spending more and more time as she continues her impersonation of Cesario. Olivia’s uncle, Sir Toby Belch, spends most of his time at the hotel bar in the company of a wealthy visitor, Sir Andrew Aguecheek. Sir Toby encourages Sir Andrew to woo Olivia, in spite of the fact that his suit is hopeless, since Sir Andrew’s money is covering Sir Toby’s expenses and he wants him to stay on at the hotel. Sir Toby’s main pastime is carousing nightly with his friend and with Olivia’s Fool, Feste. Olivia’s steward, Malvolio, interrupts the festivities, insults them and threatens to persuade Olivia to send them all away. Led by the ingenuity of Maria, an employee of the hotel, they plot Malvolio’s downfall. Maria writes a cryptic love letter to him in Olivia’s handwriting, telling him to smile constantly, and wear

cross-gartered yellow stockings – all of which Olivia detests. Meanwhile, we find out that Viola’s twin brother Sebastian has survived the shipwreck; he has been saved by a sea captain named Antonio. Because he is wanted by the law, Antonio must lie low. He lends Sebastian some money and retreats from view, arranging to meet him later. Orsino sends Cesario back to Olivia with yet another plea. Olivia openly declares her love for Cesario. Malvolio, in great anticipation of romantic success, then calls on Olivia, attired and behaving as the letter suggests. She, however, thinks he has gone mad. At Sir Toby’s suggestion, Malvolio is locked away. Sir Toby convinces Sir Andrew to challenge Cesario to a duel. As they reluctantly begin their fight, Antonio arrives. Thinking that Cesario is his friend Sebastian, Antonio steps in to help him. Antonio is recognized by an officer and arrested. He appeals for assistance to Cesario who, of course, denies knowing him. Antonio is dismayed that his friend should forsake him. Meanwhile, Olivia encounters Sebastian and makes a similar mistake, believing him to be Cesario. She proclaims her love and desire for marriage. Although somewhat bewildered at the abrupt proposal, Sebastian accepts and they are secretly wed. Mistaken identities abound and confusion reigns until a final confrontation brings everything to light. But will the abundance of newfound harmony extend to everyone? 2013 SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL

2013 SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL

Director’s Notes

With this play, Shakespeare has written an ode to love – in all of its complicated and delightful forms – and proves that love does indeed conquer all. What a remarkable piece of writing! Not only is Twelfth Night filled with joy and laughter, it surprises us with its heartbreaking revelations and shocking turn of events. We’ll laugh when we should be crying and we’ll shed a tear when we should be cheering! It reflects back, then, what it means to live and endure a fully expressed life. In my preparations for this production, I noticed that at the beginning of the play, we are introduced to many characters at a crossroad in their lives. It seems that everyone is blocked or struggling with tragedy or neglect. Love is not being reciprocated. Feelings are being held back. Everyone here is looking for guidance, or direction, or a path to reveal itself. As the play progresses and humans confront each other, people are stretched, emotions are revealed and everyone is brought to a new place of joy and peace. It’s a magical and triumphant outcome to what is initially a sorrow-filled world. I pondered the question: what kind of environment would best suit this story? Where do people go when they need emotional and physical healing? And that’s where the idea came to life of setting our production seaside, in an elegant spa and hotel - complete with steam rooms, lounge chairs and escapism. Who doesn’t need to get away – every now and then – to a place of great relaxation? As luck would have it, the true inspiration for this production was ignited while reading the play on a lounge chair at a glorious resort in Southern California. As I alternated between sipping on my glass of Chardonnay, looking at all the beautiful

people lounging about, and reading these delightful words, I couldn’t help but wish that these characters (Olivia, Viola, Orsino and all) would jump from the pages and join me, poolside, for a much needed rest. Here at this beloved theatre company, inside this wildly imaginative tent, we gather together to engage your imaginations, relax your senses, and hopefully remind you that ultimately it’s love that binds us all together and solves the worries of the world. Don’t forget to find time for yourself. When you are at a crossroads, risk the journey and ask the questions. Or simply book yourself a massage. But whatever you do, don’t forget to breathe it all in. Dennis Garnhum

The Story What Happens in

It is now the year 2013 and Hamlet is grieving for his father the King of Denmark, who has recently died. He resides at Elsinore, the stunning ocean-side castle from which the Kings of Denmark command their operations, locally and globally. The dead king’s brother Claudius has not only become the new king, but has also married his brother’s widow (and Hamlet’s mother), Queen Gertrude. Outside the castle, Hamlet encounters the Ghost of his dead father, who reveals that he was secretly poisoned by his brother Claudius. The Ghost asks Hamlet to take revenge. Hamlet, however, is not sure whether the ghost is real and to be trusted, or is an invention of his troubled brain. Polonius, an adviser to King Claudius, has two children. His son Laertes has secured the king’s permission to return to France. As he bids farewell to his father and to his sister, Ophelia, her relationship with Hamlet comes up in the conversation. Polonius insists that his daughter break off the relationship. Troubled by Hamlet’s eccentric behaviour, Claudius sends for two of Hamlet’s school friends, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, to try to find out what’s the matter. Polonius suggests that it’s unrequited love for Ophelia. A troupe of players arrives and Hamlet asks them to perform a play in which a murder similar to his father’s will be acted out on stage. When Claudius sees the murder scene, he abruptly ends the performance and storms off. Hamlet shares his certainty of the king’s guilt with his friend, Horatio. Gertrude sends for Hamlet to confront

him about his actions. Polonius hides behind a tapestry in Gertrude’s chamber so that he can overhear her conversation with Hamlet. When Hamlet realizes someone is there, he stabs through the fabric, mistakenly believing it to be the king; his blow kills Polonius. Claudius decides to send Hamlet away to England, accompanied by Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. They carry a secret request to the English king: execute Hamlet upon his arrival. With her father murdered, her brother abroad and Hamlet sent away, Ophelia has a breakdown. In the midst of this, Laertes returns, demanding revenge for his father’s death. Ophelia doesn’t recognize him and wanders off. Gertrude soon arrives with the news that Ophelia has drowned. In a graveyard, Hamlet tells Horatio of his escape and return to Denmark. A funeral party arrives, and Hamlet realizes that Ophelia is dead. He and Laertes get into a fight at her grave. Claudius and Laertes plot Hamlet’s death: they will invite him to a friendly fencing match with Laertes, who will secretly fight with a sword that is sharp instead of blunted. To ensure Hamlet’s death, Laertes will put a powerfully lethal poison on the tip of the blade. Claudius also decides to put poison onto a pearl, which he will drop into a cup of wine for Hamlet. When he is invited to participate in the fencing match, Hamlet expresses his misgivings but accepts the challenge. In this courtly confrontation, nothing is what it seems until the final moments… 2013 SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL

Director’s Notes

Welcome to our production of Hamlet! Welcome to Shakespeare’s vast and deep meditation on existence. Shakespeare is the first writer to put the quest for revenge in a moral context, and Hamlet’s quest for revenge is central to the story. His destiny is to avenge the murder of his father, and this desire comes into conflict with his morality. Torn between the urge to kill and the urge to understand, Hamlet struggles with the social and political structures of the world in which he lives and questions the very meaning of life. Hamlet’s questions and concerns are as relevant today as they were over 400 years ago. The play uncut runs approximately four and a half hours. You will rarely see an uncut version. The play demands that a director make difficult choices in how to cut the play, in what period to set the play, and how to cast it. For this production, the play has been cut almost in half and the cuts have been carefully considered. I have not removed any characters, or any of the subplots. I have used the First Quarto text to reorder some scenes, and restructured some scenes myself. I was supported in this process by Errol Durbach (Professor Emeritus of Theatre and English at UBC) and Mary Hartman (Bard’s Director of Education and Training), but most significantly by my long-time collaborator Jonathon Young, who will play Hamlet. It is a great pleasure and privilege to be directing Hamlet with Jonathon in the title role; working with him on the play has been a great and treasured creative experience. A huge thank you to this incredible ensemble of actors and designers

who joined us in this exploration. A big thank you to Christopher Gaze and the Bard team for gracing me with this opportunity to work on such a massive, life giving and undeniable text. Perhaps when you leave tonight, you will ponder your own mortality and those close to you. Perhaps you will be challenged to reflect on your truth; and with fresh eyes be conscious of the trapping of this world that can lead us away from ourselves and our neighbours. In facing death we learn about life. Kim Collier

The Story What Happens in

The place is New Orleans – the time, 1900. The city has fallen into moral ruin, exemplified by the whorehouses and gin joints of the red light district of Storyville, the fabled birthplace of jazz, where the police turn a blind eye to prostitution. In order to clean up the town, Duke Vincentio tells his subordinates that he has been called away, and appoints a strict puritan judge, Angelo, to govern in his stead. He knows that Angelo will enforce the sex laws that have long been flouted, and gives him absolute power to do so. At the same time, he is testing Angelo’s character to see if this power will corrupt him. The Duke then pretends to leave the city, but instead he disguises himself as a friar and remains to observe Angelo’s actions. Angelo gives order that the brothels be shut down, causing Mistress Overdone and Pompey to set up shop somewhere new. Angelo’s strict enforcement of the law isn’t limited to the sex trade: a young gentleman, Claudio, is arrested and condemned to death for getting his fiancée pregnant. Claudio sends for his sister, Isabella (who is about to become a nun), to go to Angelo and plead for his life. Isabella does so, and the puritanical Angelo unexpectedly falls in lust with her. He proposes a hypocritical bargain: if Isabella agrees to have sex with him, he will spare her brother’s life. Isabella decides that her chastity is more important than her brother’s life, and resolves to let him die. When Isabella arrives at the prison to tell Claudio this, the Duke

(disguised as the friar) eavesdrops on their conversation. When Isabella tells Claudio about Angelo’s indecent proposal, he is at first adamant that she refuse, then begs her to concede to Angelo’s request. Isabella vehemently admonishes her brother, and storms out, leaving behind a regretful Claudio, who now, ashamed of himself, longs for death. The Duke, disguised, intercepts Isabella, and tells her he has a plan to save Claudio. He tells her that a woman named Mariana was once engaged to Angelo, and although Angelo broke it off years ago, Mariana is still in love with him. The Duke proposes that Mariana take Isabella’s place at the illicit rendezvous with Angelo. In this way Angelo would be satisfied, Claudio would be released, and Isabella would remain chaste. The Duke’s plan unfolds as expected, with Mariana taking Isabella’s place. The Duke arrives at the prison, expecting the stay of execution to arrive. Instead, Angelo sends the Provost an order for Claudio’s immediate execution and demands to see Claudio’s head as proof. Remarkably, another prisoner has just died who looks exactly like Claudio, and his head is sent to Angelo instead. However the Duke, for a reason he doesn’t reveal, lies to Isabella and tells her that her brother has indeed died. The Duke contrives to have all the characters of the story meet him at the city gate, where he weaves all the various threads he has created together, transforming the lives of Claudio, Isabella and Angelo. 2013 SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL

2013 SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL

Director’s Notes

Measure For Measure is a comedy about sex and death. It was Shakespeare’s last comedy, and he was experimenting with traditional comedic form by adding some dramatic undertones and by addressing serious themes. While structurally similar to his earlier comedies, he was moving toward the tone that would define his later plays – The Tempest, Cymbeline and A Winter’s Tale. He was attempting to transcend the classical rules of theatre – trying to write something that was neither completely comedy nor drama, but simply just a play. Measure For Measure is a remarkably modern play in its unique comic tone. When we look at the genre-mixing television of the past ten years, along with the work of filmmakers like Woody Allen and Quentin Tarantino, Measure For Measure seems right at home. It’s modern in how the characters anticipate Freud, in their psychological complexity and repressed sexuality. As these characters wrestle with their demons and ethical conundrums, we also weigh in on their situation. In a play that deals with the nature of Justice and Mercy, Shakespeare brilliantly turns the audience into a kind of jury, encouraging us to not only think about the themes of the play, but to feel them. Measure has a fable-like quality to it, one of the defining features of Shakespeare’s later work. There is the ‘judge not lest you be judged’ lesson, but it could also be summed up as a cautionary tale about mixing church and state. A couple of months ago, I read that in Pakistan a young man of twenty was stoned to death for

meeting a young woman, falling in love with her and exchanging some text messages. This could be Claudio and Julietta. I’m amazed at Shakespeare’s continued relevance to our present political climate, and how his work continues to feel both timely and timeless. I’ve set the play in 1900 to capture the sexual repression of Victorian times, and in New Orleans to capture the sexual excess of the red light district of Storyville. Jazz music was born in the whorehouses of New Orleans. It is a sexualized music, brimming with life, and a fitting soundtrack to a play where characters discover that sex cannot be repressed for long – whether internally, or by law – as it is our most primal urge. Measure For Measure is a wonderfully complex, rich work that has a lot to say, and, thankfully, accomplishes this by entertaining us and making us laugh. John Murphy

The Story What Happens in

The night before her beloved Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex, is to be beheaded for treason, Queen Elizabeth commands the Lord Chamberlain’s Men to perform the play Much Ado About Nothing at her palace. The Queen has sentenced Essex to death – and only she can pardon him. With the threat of rioting in the streets, a curfew is imposed and the actors must be lodged that night in the royal stables. Desperately needing distraction from the fateful night’s events, Elizabeth goes to the stables to seek out the company of Shakespeare and the actors. But more than Shakespeare it is Ned Lowenscroft, the actor she has seen portray Shakespeare’s leading female roles, who commands her attention when she arrives. In the first moment of their meeting, he introduces her to his companion, a bear named Harry. Ned’s intellect is razor sharp. He is also dying of syphilis – giving him a fool’s license as he engages the Queen in verbal combat through the night while she awaits the morning.

Timothy Findley – Biography Timothy Findley (1930–2002), one of Canada’s most celebrated writers, was a novelist, screenwriter and memoirist, as well as a playwright. Born and raised in Toronto, he trained as a dancer and began his career as an actor, joining the original ensemble of the Stratford Shakespeare Festival in 1953. There he met Alec Guinness, who encouraged “Tiff” to study acting in London. Appearing at the Edinburgh Festival in the first production of Thornton Wilder’s The Matchmaker, Findley was encouraged by the playwright to pursue a writing career. After a brief stint in Hollywood, Findley returned to Canada. In all, he wrote eleven novels, three collections of short stories, two memoirs, and nine plays, as well as countless television, radio and film scripts, magazine articles and other works of non-fiction. His fictional work tends towards dark subjects, exploring family secrets, mental illness, and other gothic themes. Elizabeth Rex was workshopped and premiered in 2000 at Ontario’s Stratford Shakespeare Festival. Findley received his second Governor-General’s Award for the play, his most successful work for the theatre. First produced in the U.S. at Houston’s Stages Repertory Theatre in 2001, Elizabeth Rex premiered off Broadway in New York in 2008. The CBC produced an adaptation for television in 2004. 2013 SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL

Director’s Notes

Can you love too much? Can love be dishonourable? Is unconditional love the same as unconditional acceptance? Does betrayal negate love? Can you choose not to love someone? How do you live with regret? What does it mean to be loved to death?

In Elizabeth Rex, as in so much of his fiction, Timothy Findley tackles large ideas through the intimate and weighty negotiations between people. I love the play for all the questions it poses about how we live. Genuine questions that likely have no definitive answer, and maybe aren’t meant to be answered so much as considered. Over time, knocking around your mind, popping up at odd moments, percolating long after the show is over. Such as questions about grief... Does the measure of your love dictate the measure of your grief? Can preparing to grieve lessen the loss when it comes? Can you lighten someone’s burden by sharing their grief? Why seek to influence how you are remembered? It’s also a play that explores questions about power and gender... How is power lost without it being taken? Is it always safer to be powerful than powerless? What can’t power affect? When does a boy become a man? How is a queen different than a woman? Why is gender something that can be transgressed? How do you learn what you desire? Can you change what you desire? And a question close to Tiff’s heart when he was writing this play... How do you become who you are? How do you learn who you are not? Elizabeth Rex is full of people with fierce and urgent challenges about questions like these. But he teases out their assumptions and confessions with the patience and skill of a masterful storyteller. Whether based on fact, or supposition, or outright fiction, there is undeniable truth in the exchanges between people in this story. Heartbreaking and uplifting.

THE COSTUMES Hamlet & Twelfth Night

Twelfth Night – Sketch by Nancy Bryant

Costume Sponsor:

Acclaimed costume designer Nancy Bryant has shifted Hamlet into edgy modernity this season with her references to top contemporary designers such as Dolce & Gabbana, Karl Lagerfeld and Prada. “I designed the higher echelon of Elsinore using slick, metallic fabrics, well tailored and close to the body to signal their emotional armour, while Hamlet, Horatio and the Players’ costumes are from organic, natural fabric and are layered and earthy, reflecting their essential humanity,” explains Bryant. Gertrude’s wardrobe reflects her position: controlled, confined and calculated. She and Claudius only let down their guard at home, where they lounge in dressing gowns of opulent silk and velvet. Similarly, Ophelia transitions from a smart woven white and grey jacket and metallic skirt to layered, transparent fabrics in soft peach shades, symbolic of her increasingly fragile mental state. And Horatio is fitted out in androgynous outfits, as in this production, ‘he’ is actually a ‘she’! In Twelfth Night, Bryant’s costumes both conceal and reveal gender, while signaling mood and character. As Viola casts off her petticoats, she transforms into an elegant young man – only to reclaim her true identity in a breathtaking pink gown, as she delivers herself into the arms of the Duke in the final act. A dress of grey-blue embroidered organza suits Olivia’s mournful mood, but comedy rules when hotel guests show up in striped bathing costumes of the era, and the sauna guests wear nothing but towels! Deliciously awkward, Sir Andrew Aguecheek wields a large beach umbrella while sporting a fusty striped dressing gown, while yellow stockings and cross garters signal the delusions and ultimate victimization of Malvolio. 2013 SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL

2013 SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL

THE COSTUMES Measure For Measure & Elizabeth Rex Measure For Measure, set in the jazz and Mardi Gras world of 1900 New Orleans, mirrors Shakespeare’s Vienna: a dark, sombre world of law “makers” manipulating a bright, sensual world of law “breakers”. Restrictive layers of clothing conceal the bodies and emotions of the Duke’s judicial court, his punitive prisons and the cloistered monasteries and convents. Spicy colours expose and celebrate the unbridled energy and sexual antics of whores and barflies in the flamboyant Storyville cabarets and steamy brothels governed by Pompey and Mistress Overdone. Based on E.J. Bellocq’s famous red-light photographic images, Mardi Gras costumes in the Hallowe’en scene capture the mingling of animal and circus motifs, Voodoo paganism and Christian values. Only in the final act, with the Duke’s redemptive return, does black and white austerity blend with hothouse vulgarity to create a newly harmonious world order. In Elizabeth Rex, the Prologue and Epilogue are set in 1616, the evening before Shakespeare’s own death, and the story’s play-within-a-play on Shrove Tuesday in 1601, the night before Lord Essex’s execution for treason. Clearly the playwright was interested in examining the nature of mortality. Aside from rare garments stored in trunks or vaults, little evidence remains to verify colours and fabrics in Elizabethan court portraits. However, forensic curation elsewhere in Europe has proved to be more helpful, unearthing burial clothing. Although darkened and stiffened by four centuries underground, the pieces interred in coffins and tombs share a dun tone, the yellowish or grayish-tan of life leached out; “loved to death” as was Elizabeth’s ex-lover Essex.

THE SET Hamlet & Twelfth Night

Twelfth Night - Scenic Design by Pam Johnson

Veteran Vancouver set designer Pam Johnson returns to the Festival for two of Shakespeare’s most beloved and disparate plays: the tragedy of Hamlet, set in our time, and the romantic comedy Twelfth Night, unfolding circa 1913 at Europe’s What You Will Hotel and Spa. To do justice on one stage to both plays, Johnson says she was “looking for flexibility, so we could easily move from interior spaces with furniture to outdoor scenes.” A low, two-tiered stage is the result. Simple elements, including a backlit curtain and glass sliding doors, define the indoor spaces in Hamlet; similarly the hotel lounge is transformed into a sauna as a pool appears at the touch of a button and furniture rolls away on casters. Hamlet’s world of moral decay is revealed against a backdrop of contemporary white

leather couches, fur throws and glittering accents of silver and crystal. This pareddown aesthetic of minimalist luxury seems the perfect foil for Hamlet’s introspection and isolation. Anchoring Hamlet in the modern world are the digital devices he manipulates: a TV, an iPod and an iPad; however lost he may feel, Hamlet is always digitally in control. In contrast, Twelfth Night’s love triangle is perfectly at home in a setting of Edwardian elegance. A stylized flower motif covers the floor, with wicker furniture, a curved front desk and a fanciful gramophone signaling the importance of music to complete the decor. Playful topiaries and signposts to the Sauna, the Beach, and the Pool decorate the garden, while towers of towels fill the Sauna. Nothing seriously troubling could happen in settings as plush and delightful as these! 2013 SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL

PROPS Play Their Part at Bard Fine acting, beautiful costumes, and carefully-chosen props work together onstage to create the illusion of another time and place – and this season, the props on Bard’s two stages range from a pre-WWI spa’s manicurist table in Twelfth Night, to an iPad in Hamlet. Housed in an East Vancouver warehouse, Bard’s extensive props collection includes thousands of items, from small keys and coins to fine china and period jewellery, to a set of royal thrones and even a couple of artificial severed heads! Over fifteen years, Bard’s Head of Properties, Heidi Wilkinson, has grown the collection from the contents of six boxes and a throne, tucked under a staircase, to 500 square feet of warehouse space jammed to overflowing with fascinating things.

Wilkinson and her props team scour the internet, local antique stores and second hand shops, hunting for just the right pieces. Often, they build items that are too expensive to buy. Hamlet’s four sleek white leather sofas are a case in point. A lean production budget didn’t stretch to cover buying new high-end sofas for the modern, sophisticated living space of the 21st century Danish court, so they were built and upholstered from scratch at Bard – with dimensions that perfectly suit the scene changes and on-stage action. So next time the applause is cued, give an extra hand for the skilled and resourceful props team and the part that props play in creating a memorable theatre experience!

THE SET Measure For Measure & Elizabeth Rex

Studio Stage – Scenic Design by Drew Facey

Drew Facey returns to Bard’s Studio Stage with a brilliant, versatile set, offering features that work equally well for both productions. Facey says he loves designing for the deep thrust, two-tiered Studio stage since “it creates such a wonderful intimacy between the action and the audience”. A warm, textured space with whitewashed plank walls and floors suggests the timbers of the barn and also gives a nod to the clapboard siding of New Orleans architecture. A large centre arch is flanked by two small balconies or lofts accessed by ladders for Elizabeth Rex and a moving staircase for Measure For Measure. The fawn greys of the set are enhanced with accents of warm white and off-black. In Measure For Measure, ornate iron gates and the simple, rustic details of the space are

embellished with cornices and ironwork balustrades, creating a romantic space that evokes architecture typical of New Orleans. While the set is starkly black and white, mirroring the schism between Catholic restraint and the licentious world of Mistress Overdone, green plants and climbing greenery suggest life. In the play, however, Angelo has them removed, symbolic of his deeply repressive regime. In Elizabeth Rex, huge barn doors replace the iron gates and close in a high arch at the centre of the space. This creates a feeling of enclosure and safety, while lanterns, baskets of Elizabethan costumes and rustic furniture add to the warmth and texture of the barn. The Queen seeks both comfort and ‘diversion’ here, and we can see how she finds them within the spaces of Facey’s set. 2013 SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL

MAKING THE MUSIC BMO Mainstage

Studio Stage

New to Bard, composer Jeremy Spencer says the musical challenge of live theatre lies in finding the right “world”, and he delivers the food of love with a period touch in Twelfth Night. Spencer’s original concept of traditional gypsy music didn’t ultimately fit with the 1913 timeframe, “but an early 20th century ragtime approach did; for me, it’s brought everything together.” To underscore the variable emotions of the characters and to situate the action in a bygone era, the songs reference ragtime spiced with a touch of parlour music and a sprinkling of strings. In the instrumental passages, we hear orchestral arrangements with subtle gypsy flavours, while a flute and clarinet motif symbolizing the twins becomes a recurring theme. Play on!

Benjamin Elliott, returning to Bard for his second season as a Musical Director, says it’s “exciting to work with two types of music – jazz and the music of the old Christian Church”. These two compositional forms perfectly mirror the stark contrasts between the warring worlds of this production of Measure For Measure: a repressive Roman Catholic establishment, evoked with sacred, rhythmically-angular music versus the carnal red light district’s exuberant, improvisational jazz. The music also mirrors the internal conflicts of the characters, as Elliott throws ‘a crunchy jazz chord’ into a Gregorian chant as, for instance, a character is experiencing a sexual awakening.

Torquil Campbell, of Montreal’s indie group Stars and the son of renowned Shakespearean actor Douglas Campbell, says he “grew up on Shakespeare” and he brings to it a contemporary sound that is as timeless as the plays themselves. For this season’s production of Hamlet he collaborated with his Memphis band-mate Chris Dumont. Campbell observes that “Shakespeare is both the ultimate pop artist and the ultimate classical artist,” so his themes borrow freely from both contemporary and classical sources. The result is music that echoes the flawed characters and accentuates the menacing action. Hamlet’s theme evokes his complex, tortured mind with layers of moody, textured melodies while Ophelia’s fragility is underscored by a delicate piano theme floating over an ominous trance beat. Musically sophisticated and curious, Hamlet listens to everything from Mozart to obscure grunge bands on his iPod!

Musical Director Patrick Pennefather’s work for Elizabeth Rex is grounded in early-1600s England, which provides the historical context for the play’s plot. The Early Baroque period was a transitional time for music, with a less precise notation system than what is used today. Pennefather says we can “expect our brave cast to journey back in time, and rely on our contemporary interpretations of what we think music was in Shakespeare’s era.” These were foundation years for early opera, and madrigals were being superseded by motets, cantatas and early chamber music; Pennefather has chosen to reference the compositions of William Byrd (1543-1623) and the lute repertoire of John Dowland (1563-1626) as well as popular music of the era, often credited to ‘Anonymous’.
