Season 2014
1
Shakespeare’s work explores human experience at its limits. It was never just meant to be read. We believe the only way to truly appreciate his work is to see it brought to life through live performance. We believe Shakespeare and other great works are not stuck in the past, but that they are the key to exploring our present and imagining our future. We value the beauty of Shakespeare’s ideas, language and imagery. His work becomes our lens, helping us find modern perspectives on timeless truths. These plays are not static. They’re constantly adapting, helping us make sense of who we are, where we’ve been, and where we’re going. And we’re not static either. We’ve been travelling the country for 23 years, bringing classic theatre to Australia, looking for new ways to educate, collaborate and recreate. Shakespeare and the other classic plays we present challenge our beliefs and urge us to see ourselves in a new light. Their ability to discover the things that make us human inspires us to make work that challenges preconceptions and encourages new interpretations and contemporary parallels — work that speaks to every age.

The power of imagination
A season that balances hard-nosed commentary on conflict and aberrant social behaviour with a generous dollop of magic and fantasy.
In 2014, we are again proudly showing our colours as Australia’s national theatre company specialising in Shakespeare and the classics, with four major productions as well as our far-reaching education and community programmes. It’s a season that balances hard-nosed commentary on conflict and aberrant social behaviour with a generous dollop of magic and fantasy. The Winter’s Tale demonstrates the healing power of fairytales as a small boy constructs his own fantasy in order to cope with parental discord. Henry V views war through the eyes of a group of school children coming to terms with the horrors of war and the meaning of true leadership. Hypocrisy has been the target of satirists from the Greeks and Romans through to Shakespeare, Jonson and Molière. Tartuffe is an hilarious exposé of religious charlatans and our unfortunate dependence on gurus of all kinds. The Dream is a compact version of Shakespeare’s greatest comedy, demonstrating the versatility of an expert cast and the magic of transformation. We are delighted to also renew our collaboration with the Australian Chamber Orchestra with a series of special concerts, Intimate Letters. Alongside these productions we continue to expand our national education programme with actors performing in schools (both primary and secondary) all over Australia throughout the year. Our residencies with Arts Educators are taking place in Indigenous communities and juvenile detention centres; we are providing scholarships for teachers and talented students from remote parts of the country to work with us in our rehearsal rooms; and we continue to develop new writing through our Mind’s Eye programme. That’s because we see the work of Shakespeare and other great dramatists as something more than show-biz: it is a source of wisdom, comfort and inspiration. Again we welcome you and invite you to share the experience with us. Enjoy the season. John Bell AO & Peter Evans Co-Artistic Directors

The Winter’s Tale By William Shakespeare Director John Bell Designer Stephen Curtis Lighting Designer Matthew Marshall Composer Alan John Dramaturg John Kachoyan With Terry Bader, Liana Cornell, Michelle Doake, Philip Dodd, Felix Jozeps, Otis Pavlovic, Myles Pollard, Rory Potter, Justin Smith & Helen Thomson Sydney Opera House 1–29 March
Once upon a time there was a king whose jealous rage caused him to lose everyone dear to him. So begins William Shakespeare’s fantastical fable, The Winter’s Tale, seen through the eyes of a child… Young prince Mamillius watches in horror as his father, King Leontes, wrongly accuses his pregnant mother, Hermione, of adultery. When Mamillius’ sister is born, Leontes mistakenly believes the baby is not his own, and orders her to be abandoned in the wild. Mamillius dies of heartbreak and news quickly arrives that the same fate has befallen his mother. Too late, Leontes realises the error of his ways and vows to mourn for the rest of his life. But there is more to all of this than meets the eye. In director John Bell’s hands, the power of Mamillius’ imagination proves stronger even than death. The boy’s spirit lives on, whisking us away to another place and another time where Mamillius orchestrates an elaborate sequence of events to repair the damage that has been done. Along the way there will be songs, laughter, love and perhaps even redemption for the broken King Leontes. The Winter’s Tale was written during the most wildly experimental phase of the Bard’s career. Bell Shakespeare’s production will throw new light on every layer, from heartaches to belly laughs. And it will pose the question: in the wake of unspeakable suffering, can anyone truly live happily ever after?
blowing the dust offf a favourite childhood book, opening it up, and feeling utter joy when the story is still as magical as it was all those years ago. I want to share that experience with you in 2014 by showing this rarely seen play through the eyes off Mamillius, the child prince. My approach aims to ‘awake your faith’ in theatre and take you back to a time when anything seemed possible. John Bell

Henry V By William Shakespeare Director Damien Ryan Designer Anna Gardiner Lighting Designer Sian James-Holland Vocals Composer Drew Livingston Movement & Fight Director Scott Witt With Matthew Backer, Darcy Brown, Gabriel Fancourt, Danielle King, Drew Livingston, Michael Sheasby, Damien Strouthos, Ildiko Susany & Eloise Winestock Canberra Theatre Centre 13–28 June Arts Centre Melbourne 1–12 July Sydney Opera House 21 October – 15 November
the Director
Amid a bombing raid in a war torn city, somewhere in the world right now, a group of children are sheltering underground. To get through the night the terrified kids put on an act of bravado — literally — and conjure up the heroics of King Henry V. This is his story... When Henry V is manipulated by church advisors, taunted by French royalty and betrayed by English nobles, he has all the ammunition he needs to lash out and invade France. Or does he? Having executed conspirators and vanquished enemy forces in Harfleur, Henry’s army is ‘weak and sickly’ as it staggers towards a showdown at Agincourt. The night before battle, the king endures a long dark night of the soul, where he hears first-hand about the fears and frailties of his outnumbered soldiers. But Henry has one last weapon up his sleeve: the power of words. And it may just be enough to save his men, his country and himself. In an incredibly exciting new production of Henry V, Damien Ryan directs a contemporary version of this play inspired by a true story — for 71 consecutive nights during the Blitz in 1941, a group of boys trapped in a bunker rehearsed plays including the works of Shakespeare and would perform them for others in the shelter. Told through the prism of boys caught in a modern conflict our production will expose, in equal measure, the stirring heights and troubling depths of Henry V. On a broader level, it will be an unflinching examination of political spin, patriotism, religion, class, brotherhood and leaders of men.
I’ve had a long-held desire to stage Henryy V; a play that asks our imaginations to make the impossible possible. It’s a story off courage and off the underdog; a story off political chicanery and betrayal; and a story that shows how swiftly war can turn boys into men, for better and for worse. As for the script, it’s as devastating as it is inspirational. We will view it through the prism off those for whom war takes the greatest toll — the young. A group off people who need to tell this story and in the process, learn about their own capacity for courage, for violence, for doubt and for brotherhood. Will they become monsters? Or men? Or both? Damien Ryan

Bell Shakespeare
Tartuffe By Molière A new version by Justin Fleming Director Peter Evans Designer Anna Cordingley Lighting Designer Paul Jackson Composer Kelly Ryall With Leon Ford, Geraldine Hakewill, Tom Hobbs & Kate Mulvany Sydney Opera House 26 July – 23 August
From the Director
By the time he’s reached middle age, Orgon is the toast of Sydney’s high society. He has a lucrative career, a plush home and a trophy wife — but he feels spiritually bankrupt. Religious guru Tartuffe appears to have the solution, and he moves into Orgon’s home to offer salvation. The trouble is, Orgon’s family don’t want to be saved by Tartuffe; they can see he is a hypocrite and a fraud. He also proves to be a wily adversary, adept at getting out of the tightest of corners. Tartuffe exploits Orgon’s blind faith, deceiving his host into betrothing him to his daughter, before making a play for his wealth and his wife. The family decide that desperate times call for desperate measures and hatch an audacious plot to expose Tartuffe. But time is running out and the arch manipulator has even more dirty tricks up his sleeve... The chance to see Molière’s classic seventeenth century play Tartuffe only comes along once in a blue moon — and the chance to see Justin Fleming’s sparkling Australian translation makes this new production extra special. Like his translation of The School For Wives, Fleming’s script is devilish fun, playing lyrical tricks on the audience and breathing new life into one of theatre’s most loved (and loathed) villains. This promises to be a thoroughly modern night of riotous entertainment.
Seventeenth century Paris wasn’t quite ready for the lacerating cynicism in Molière’s Tartuffe, which exposed religious hypocrisy and poked fun at authority. Upon its release, the play was promptly banned. But we may finally have caught up with Molière because contemporary Australians have a healthy scepticism; it is part of the national psyche today. This is why I adore Justin Fleming’s translation of Tartuffe. It’s utterly irreverent and totally hilarious, and so true to Molière’s original. Performed on stage, it feels like a game is being played between writer and audience; it will toy with you, move you, and have you in stitches. Sharing this together will be an absolute treat.

Bell Shakespeare
Dream By William Shakespeare Director Peter Evans Designer Teresa Negroponte Lighting Designer Teegan Lee Sound Designer Caitlin Porter Movement Director Nigel Poulton Dramaturg James Evans With Ray Chong Nee, Richard Piper & Janine Watson Canberra Theatre Centre 28 August – 13 September Arts Centre Melbourne 18 September – 4 October
From the Director
The clue is in the title — this is a different dream. Peter Evans will reawaken Shakespeare’s classic A Midsummer Night’s Dream with a breathless 90-minute production that amplifies the magic, mirth and mayhem. Love is in the air in Athens — and it’s contagious. Besides the royal wedding, which is just days away, there are young lovers dreaming of contented futures together. Hermia and Lysander are besotted with one another, while Helena adores Demetrius. The only snag is that Demetrius loves Hermia — and he’s got Hermia’s father on his side. So nobody is happy. (Shakespeare wasn’t kidding when he said the course of true love never ran smooth.) Determined to be together, Hermia and Lysander meet in a moonlit forest with plans to elope. Following hot on their heels is Demetrius, who in turn is pursued by a lovelorn Helena. But the young lovers are not alone in the forest. Nick Bottom and his hapless bunch of tradies have gathered to rehearse a play to be performed at the royal wedding. And, hidden from human eyes, a mischievous sprinkling of fairies are also in the forest that night. The three worlds collide in an explosion of comic confusion that throws the future of all the lovers into jeopardy. Peter Evans’ pared-back production will be as quick as a shadow. Fast, funny and family-friendly, this is The Dream as you’ve never seen it before.
It doesn t get any better than this. In 2014, I have the privilege to direct arguably the finest comedy ever written. By anyone. Anywhere. This is the first time in more than a decade that Bell Shakespeare has presented a mainstage production of A Midsummerr Night’s Dream, so I’m making the most off it. My fast-moving 90-minute version, called The Dream, will be a celebration off the theatre — with some unexpected twists. Our talented cast off just eight actors will present an inventive take on Shakespeare’s much-loved original. Everyone is going to have a ball: cast, crew, director and audience. I can’t wait. Peter Evans

*arranged for string orchestra
Following a successful collaboration with the Australian Chamber Orchestra in 2012, Bell Shakespeare is delighted to reunite with these amazing musicians in 2014 for a renewed version of the dramatic concert, Intimate Letters. Bell Shakespeare actors will share the stage with this world-renowned string orchestra giving life to the stories which inspired the music of Leoš Janáček’s ‘Intimate Letters’ and Bedřich Smetana’s ‘From My Life’. Bell Shakespeare’s Co-Artistic Director, Peter Evans, will work with ACO musicians led by London Symphony Orchestra concertmaster, Gordan Nikolic, to present this unique meeting of theatre and chamber music. Inspired by more than 700 passionate letters written between Janáček and his much younger married muse, ‘Intimate Letters’ explores their overwhelming and obsessive love. Smetana’s autobiographical ‘From My Life’ soars with the joy and hope of childhood, which gradually derails and ultimately descends into despair, as the composer faces the inescapable fate of impending deafness. A 10% discount off the price of Adult tickets to Intimate Letters in Canberra, Melbourne and Sydney is available when adding this concert to a Bell Shakespeare season package.

Bell Shakespeare
We perform, educate and inspire (but we need your support) We know that Shakespeare’s plays have the capacity to allow audiences from all walks of life to see themselves reflected and transformed. That’s why our work reaches far beyond the performances in this brochure, and why we are committed to providing access to the power of Shakespeare for the most marginalised and disadvantaged Australians, every year. It’s why, in 2014, we will tour our mainstage work to 32 cities and towns across Australia. Why our Mind’s Eye programme will harness and interpret the best of Shakespeare’s ideas in new ways, for new audiences. Why our Hearts In A Row programme will provide free VIP experiences to even more socially and geographically disadvantaged schools and community groups. Why The Players will pack their van and perform in some of the most isolated locations around the country, to inspire over 80,000 of our youngest audience members. Why we will provide scholarships to professionally develop 14 teachers and aspiring performers from across the nation. Why we will take the power of Shakespeare into Juvenile Justice centres with our tailored five-week workshop programme. And, why our Arts Educators will build long-term collaborative relationships during their residencies with both Indigenous and refugee communities, in some of Australia’s most regional and remote areas. This is only some of what we do each year and this is why we need your support. As a not-for-profit organisation that has been built on a foundation of giving, we are only able to continue to provide these opportunities through the generous support of trusts and foundations, corporate sponsorship and private donors.
