Take two: Macbeth back on stage
M
BY MEGAN JAMES
ost of us know the story of Macbeth: Ambitious Scottish war hero heeds the prophecy of witches, and the urging of his wife, assassinates the king in cold blood and unravels in spectacular fashion. “We all know how it’s going to come out,” says Melissa Lourie, who’s directing the Middlebury Actors Workshop production of Shakespeare’s tragedy, which opens at Town Hall Theater next Thursday, Oct. 20. “So, what’s going to keep us on the edge of our seats?”
Getting inside Macbeth’s head, Lourie says. Which is why she decided to approach the play as a psychological thriller. “Back in Shakespeare’s day, killing kings to get power was commonplace,” she says. “Everybody did it. So it’s interesting that Shakespeare suddenly decides to take that act and dissect it on a psychological, moral level, to see what it does to people.” Lourie had long considered directing Macbeth, but she needed the right lead. “I would never dream of doing this play without a very,
very competent actor in the lead role; it would just be a waste of time,” she says. Enter Craig Maravich. The Monkton resident has been a professional actor and educator for 15 years, mostly in New York City. But in 2008, Maravich started working with Vermont Stage Company, where he did a play with Lourie. Then he became a member of the Breadloaf Acting Ensemble. Maravich and his wife started spending summers in Vermont. Early this year, Maravich and his wife, Sarah, who had begun working for the Burlington School Food Project, decided to relocate full-time XS :IVQSRX Ƹ. VIEPP] [ERXIH XS FI ER EGXSV MR E WTIGMǻG GSQQYRMX] and I consider Vermont my chosen home,” he says. “Theater gives us an opportunity to bring people together and have this shared experience. It’s important to me that I do that in a place where I live, in a place that I care about, a place that I teach in.” When Lourie heard Maravich was available, she leapt at the chance to cast him as Macbeth. “There’s always the challenge of trying to create professional level theater in a state where you have very few professional actors,” she admits. Fortunately, she also scored with Burlington’s Chris Caswell as Lady Macbeth. SEE MACBETH ON PAGE 3

MACBETH CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
Maravich notes that Macbeth is having a bit of a moment right now. The Opera Company of Middlebury performed it at Town Hall Theater earlier this year; Northern Stage is now presenting it in White River Junction; and theater companies around the country are following suit. Why now? It could be that this year marks the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death. But it could also be that the tragedy brings up themes that are particularly apt in an election year. “So much in this play is about ambition and politics,” Maravich says. “The moral struggle within the play — where the moral center is and how that shifts so quickly — that speaks to this world that we’re in right now.” Lourie says she isn’t trying to make “a grand political statement.” She simply loves the story. “I love playing with the supernatural elements. I love ǻRHMRK SYX [LEX XLMW GLEVEGXIV 2EGFIXL MW PMOI ERH [L] LI HSIW XLMW XLMRK 'IGEYWI EW [I ǻRH SYX he’s a thoughtful, sensitive person.”
“THEATER GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER AND HAVE THIS SHARED EXPERIENCE. IT’S IMPORTANT TO ME THAT I DO THAT IN A PLACE WHERE I LIVE, IN A PLACE THAT I CARE ABOUT, A PLACE THAT I TEACH IN.” — Craig Maravich
Sure, he murders a king, but he’s “immediately aware of violating right and wrong, he immediately gets that what goes around comes around. And yet he does it anyway, and that’s what’s so fascinating to me,” Lourie says. Lourie and Maravich have had fun exploring his motives and thought process together. “What happens when you make a decision that is against your nature as a human being?” wonders Maravich. “How do you grapple with the person you are now? And can you go back?” MAW has stripped the play down to a trim 90 minutes, and the action takes place on a minimal WIX MR ER YRHIǻRIH XMQI TIVMSH “We do have swords, but we’re not setting it in any particular time,” says Lourie. It’s set in a world that
| ARTS+LEISURE | Thursday, October 13, 2016 — PAGE 3 seems to blend 19th century Scotland with more modern cultures. “It’s rough, it’s somewhat brutal, it’s Northern. Because it’s primarily a landscape of the mind, I don’t think it matters much that we’re in a particular period.” Lourie has favored minimalist sets for Shakespeare since she cofounded the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival in Cold Spring, N.Y., earlier in her career. “We performed outside on the dirt under a tent,” she says. “But that’s very close to the way Shakespeare was originally TIVJSVQIH 8LI] HMHRƶX LEZI E PSX SJ WXYǺ ƹ In addition to the Town Hall Theater production, which runs through Oct. 23, MAW will take the show to the Paramount Theater in Rutland on Oct. 27 and the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts in Burlington on Nov. 1. They will also present student matinees — one at THT on Oct. 26 and one at the Flynn on Nov. 1. Maravich and other actors will also lead workshops at Middlebury and Burlington schools. Lourie says the story is as relevant for students now as it has ever been. “It’s important to look very closely at human ambition and its consequences,” she says. “Look around the world and you see people ruthlessly seizing power. Then they shut down the press and kill people and silence opposition. It’s a story that’s happening all the time.”

Guy Mendilow ensemble performs at UVM TALES FROM THE FORGOTTEN KINGDOM REVIVES FANTASTIC WORLD OF SEPHARDIC TRADITIONS SATURDAY 15 OCT.
Guy Mendilow and his four musical collaborators present Tales from the Forgotten Kingdom on Saturday, Oct. 15, 7:30 p.m., at the UVM Recital Hall in Burlington.
UVM Recital Hall, Burlington
Not sure where that is? Tell your phone, “384 South Prospect Street, Burlington,” you’ll get there. Saturday’s performance intertwines the music and storytelling of Sephardic Jews — that’s a Jewish ethnic division from Spain (well, it’s a little more complicated
… Wanna know more? GTS.) Mendilow and company blend archaic Spanish with Arabic, Hebrew and Greek, and bring fantastic tales to life. “If you like Game of Thrones, these stories are for you,” suggests Mendilow with a smile. “The tales are amazing. The melodies twist and turn, like the culture of adaptation Sephardic musicians embraced. Much of it is modal music, with elements that run from epic tunes to early 20th-century foxtrots and tangos, and all of it is mesmerizing, in its beauty and intensity.” Tickets range from $10-$30. Call (802) 6564455 to order tickets or for more info.

We had talked to your installers at a job they were doing up the road from us. They were extremely friendly and very willing to answer our questions. We had been thinking of solar and our visit with them cinched it. Dave came out to see our house, collect the information he needed, and explain how everything would work. The installation was so fast. Just love watching the arrow on the meter go the other way! Thanks again, Leighton & Linda Riley – Bridport

FLOWERS BERRIES
A
BY JUDITH IRVEN
couple of weeks ago, as I was strolling past my veggie garden, a beautiful bunch of berries caught my eye. There it was — casually poking its head out from among the long grass at the edge of the woods.
I was captivated by the dramatic shape of the cluster, almost six inches long, as well as its ripening berries — from pure white to ruby red. A quick look at the leaves suggested I was looking at some False Solomon’s Seal (Smilacina racemosa).
FROM FLOWER TO FRUIT +EPWI SPSQSRƶW IEP [MXL E ǼYǺ SJ XMR] [LMXI ǼS[IVW EX XLI IRH SJ E PSRK WXEPO MW E JEQMPMEV MJ WSQI[LEX QYRHERI WTVMRK [MPHǼS[IV S I was completely unprepared for its dramatic transformation into a bouquet of spectacular berries.

It is also said that, although not particularly tasty, the berries of False Solomon’s Seal are edible for humans as well. But I am certainly not about to sample these or any other unknown berries I may come across!

But if we look at things from the plant’s TIVWTIGXMZI XLSWI PSZIP] ǼS[IVW EVI QIVIP] the means to reach its desired end — which is to ensure its ova are pollinated and grow into viable seeds. After all, it’s the seeds that will produce the next generation and thus continue the cycle of life for that plant species. 8LI ǼS[IV MW E WMKREP XIPPMRK MRWIGXW XLEX XLIVI is nectar waiting inside.

Some plants use wind to distribute their seeds — as with the featherweight dandelion seeds or the maples’ winged samara. But many plants hide their seeds inside delicious fruits and berries, a subtle hint for birds and mammals of all sizes to assist in the distribution of those seeds. The animal happily eats the berry and is nourished by it. Then, after the seeds pass right through its digestive system, the animal unwittingly spreads them far and wide. It is a symbiotic relationship — the plant feeds the animal and the animal disperses its seeds.

The ripening fruit is a favorite of visiting cedar waxwings. There are many types of viburnums, and for a number of years they have been plagued by the Viburnum Leal Beetle. But the good news is that research has shown that our native Wild Raisin Viburnum is among the least susceptible varieties of Viburnum. And indeed my shrubs (I have three) have never been attacked, whereas a nearby American Cranberry Bush (Viburnum trilobum) is among the most susceptible and, after several successive years of defoliation by the beetles, has now died.

Take the peppers from the oven and put them in a heatproof bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let the peppers steam and cool while you make your frittata. 2. Reset the rack to the center of your oven, and turn the temp to 400 degrees. Toss your sliced new potatoes in 2 tbsp of olive oil and roast on a baking tray until they’re tender and lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Allow them to cool. 3. Turn your oven to 350 F.
