JANE EYRE never feel what I then felt! May your eyes never shed such stormy, scalding, heart-wrung tears as poured from mine.” Overall, the intention of the narrative/dialogue combination is to embrace the storytelling experience, to allow us to step into Jane’s world, and to invite the audience to hear the rhythms of the novel as well as seeing the story unfold in a fluid and imaginative way.

Julie Beckman

Notes from the Adapter

by Julie Beckman I have always loved Jane Eyre. Since I first read Charlotte Brontë’s story as a young person, I was captivated by Jane’s plucky courage, her ability to stand up against unjust treatment, her unwillingness to conform, her quest for independence at a time when that was rare, her frank self assessment, and her capacity to give and receive love even though she experienced so little of it as she was growing up. Even in this era, she stands out as a character who not only overcomes the hardships of her youth, but she finds herself, and happiness in the process.

Adapting this novel for the stage was a pleasure, since it involved spending so much time with this engaging character, with this compelling story that has thrilled readers for decades, and with Brontë’s beautiful and poetic writing. One of the things that makes this adaptation unique is that it embraces the very thing that defines a novel: the narrative voice. Rather than having the narrative spoken by a removed third party, however, the narration here is shared among the characters and incorporated as dialogue, providing a window into the inner lives of these characters and an opportunity to see the fire burning beneath their sometimes cool exteriors. And just as when reading a novel, the narration in this adaptation invites us to use our imaginations to move through time and space and to bring to life the vivid environments of the book: Lowood, Thornfield Hall, Moor House, Ferndean.

Even more, we develop a relationship with Jane herself as she tells us her unfolding story, even addressing us personally, as in the famous line “Reader, I married him” or in her moving exhortation from the novel: “Gentle reader, may you 8

JAN/FEB 2014

This method of incorporating the narrative voice into theatrical adaptation is sometimes called “Chamber Theatre,” and was utilized by Frank Galati in his Tony Award-winning adaptation of The Grapes of Wrath, by David Edgar’s adaptation of The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby (made famous by the Royal Shakespeare Company) and by Book-It Repertory Theatre in Seattle, which has presented the premieres of dozens of adaptations of novels, including the original production of this version of Jane Eyre, as well as my adaptations of Dickens’ Hard Times and Jonathan Raban’s Waxwings. I am pleased and grateful to the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre for bringing this story and this adaptation to Winnipeg. As Jane so eloquently states, “I hold myself supremely blessed.”

Charlotte Brontë Author

Charlotte Brontë was born in 1816 in Thornton, Yorkshire, England, the third of six children: five girls and a boy. Charlotte, along with her sisters Emily, Maria and Elizabeth, attended the Clergy Daughters

12

JAN/FEB 2014

ARTISTS School in Lancashire – the basis of Jane Eyre’s Lowood. While attending the school, both her older sisters died of tuberculosis. Following this tragedy, Charlotte and Emily returned home, where, together with their youngest sister Anne and brother Branwell, they began to entertain themselves by writing stories together.

Charlotte first published under the name Currer Bell in 1846 when, together with her sisters Emily and Anne, she released a collection of poetry credited to Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell. The Brontë sisters felt concealing their gender would free them from prejudice of critics and readers. Charlotte wrote under the name Currer Bell for Jane Eyre’s original 1847 publication, and both Anne and Emily also published novels under their assumed names, the most well-known of these being Emily’s Wuthering Heights.

Charlotte married the Reverend A.B. Nicholls in 1854, having refused him two years earlier. She died within a year of pneumonia. She was expecting a child at the time of her death.

Julie Beckman Adapter

Julie Beckman is a director, adapter and educator.

In addition to Jane Eyre, her adaptations include Hard Times and Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, as well as Waxwings by Jonathan Raban, Woyzeck by Georg Büchner, and Glory in the Daytime by Dorothy Parker. Her adaptation of Edith Wharton’s Bunner Sisters will debut in the fall of 2014. She has directed for Strawberry Theatre Workshop, Theatre 22, Book-It Repertory Theatre, ACT Theatre, Theater Schmeater, Seattle Public Theatre, Stone Soup Theatre, 14/48, the University of Washington and Cornish College of the Arts. Her work has also been seen in St. Louis at Mustardseed Theatre, in Chicago at Center Theatre and the Chicago Directors’ Co-op, in Atlanta at Actors’ Express, in Washington, DC at Source Theatre and Studio Theatre and in Cincinnati at Ensemble Theatre Company and ArtReach Theatre.

The Glass Menagerie mirrors legendary playwright’s life FEB. 12 – MAR. 8

“A resilient tale of fragile people surviving through fantasy” – THE BOSTON GLOBE

Deeply personal and exquisitely written, The Glass Menagerie was Tennessee Williams’ first critical success. The play ran on Broadway for 563 performances and won the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award in 1945. Following that success, Tennessee Williams added award-winning plays such as A Streetcar Named Desire and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof to his resumé, becoming one of the greatest playwrights in American history.

Although The Glass Menagerie closely mirrored Tennessee’s own life, this lyrical drama speaks volumes about human strength and weakness, the bonds of family and the longing for a better life.

The universality of the themes and the care with which Williams crafted his characters combine to create a play that is still relevant and appreciated by audiences today. Currently, a revival starring Cherry Jones (Ocean’s Twelve, TV’s 24) and Zachary Quinto (Spock in Star Trek, Heroes) is generating buzz on Broadway.

Helmed by Artistic Director Steven Schipper, this will be MTC’s third production of The Glass Menagerie (1958/59 Mainstage, 1989/90 Warehouse and regional tour). We feel it’s time to share this beautiful play with audiences once again.

PLANNED GIVING

Jane Eyre/Jane Heir “It seems this Miss Eyre had an uncle, a John Eyre of Madeira, and that this uncle is dead, and that he has left her all his property.” – Jane Eyre, Act 2 Poor Jane Eyre had a difficult life. Orphaned, she was mistreated by a cruel aunt and sent to a boarding school where punishment and disease reigned. Even her life as a governess at Thornfield Hall is not without tragedy. Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre weaves a sad tale, but Jane’s life changes when she inherits a sum of money from the estate of an uncle she never knew. With this bequest, she is able to do great things.

Here at the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre we have a number of donors who likewise wish to do great things with their lifetime of accumulated assets. These donors have agreed to remember the theatre in their estate planning or through life insurance. In the charitable sector, this is called “planned giving,” which allows donors to realize their philanthropic objectives while maximizing financial and tax benefits.

Planned giving is a significant way to contribute to MTC and be remembered as a passionate patron of the arts. Those who make planned gifts and inform the theatre of their decision become members of our Founders’ Circle. These donors share the dream of founders John Hirsch and Tom Hendry to create great professional theatre for future generations. Founders’ Circle members have been recently recognized in a permanent display in the Mainstage lobby.

Two new members joined the Founders’ Circle this past fall: Andrew and Wendy Jensen from St. Andrews, Manitoba. They have been enjoying MTC for more than 40 years and “value MTC as a great cultural institution.” Andrew’s love affair with the theatre began when he won a pair of theatre tickets in high school for getting top grades on an English test. MTC is pleased to have such generous and dedicated supporters.

If MTC has played a significant role in your lifetime, then leaving a legacy gift ensures MTC will play a significant role in the lives of future generations of theatre lovers. Your visionary support will allow our founders’ dream to live on for generations to come.

There are a number of ways to make a Planned Gift: • Leave a bequest to MTC in your will; • Make MTC a beneficiary of a life insurance policy (policy payments become a charitable donation); • Donate a paid-up life insurance policy to MTC; • Buy a Charitable Gift Annuity making MTC the beneficiary (you continue to earn interest on the principal and at your death the principal goes to MTC).

These planned gifts may have significant tax advantages for you and your estate.

Information about our Planned Giving program and the Founders’ Circle is available in the lobby or from MTC’s Development Office. You are also encouraged to speak to your legal and financial counsel to consider your best options and to make an informed decision.

Consider making a lasting gift to the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre. Do great things.

Donate by mail, phone or online at www.mtc.mb.ca.

The 2013 Black & White Gala Ball Committee.

THE party of the year! On Saturday, November 2, 2013, the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre hosted the incredibly successful 31st annual Black & White Gala Ball in the elegant surroundings of the Grand Ballroom at The Fort Garry Hotel. The ever-popular Danny Kramer Event Band returned to entertain a SOLD-OUT crowd of 400 and kept everyone on the dance floor all night! All of the dollars raised will go towards providing accessible theatre for Manitobans, including the Backstage Pass program for Manitoba students and the regional tour, which travels to more than 20 communities every year.

We would like to sincerely thank our guests, sponsors, donors and volunteers for making this event such a great success. Your generous contributions will support the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre’s many programs and productions while ensuring that top-quality live theatre continues to thrive in our community. We are truly grateful to our Exclusive Event Sponsor, RBC Wealth Management, RBC Dominion Securities and the RBC Royal Bank, for their continued support.

EDUCATION & OUTREACH

Explore More MTC’s partnership with the Winnipeg Public Library will immerse you in the world of the play. With events and resources to prepare you before seeing a show or to enrich your experience after the production, Play on Words is designed with you in mind! Check out what we have in store for Jane Eyre :

Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys

From Page to Stage

The Flight of Gemma Hardy by Margot Livesay

Join us for a series of free noon-hour presentations in the Carol Shields Auditorium at the Millennium Library. Each Tuesday session runs from 12 – 1 pm and is a great way to further connect with the story.

January 21 | The two lead actors, Jennifer Dzialoszynski (Jane Eyre) and Tim Campbell (Edward Rochester), will share their experiences of playing the classic romantic couple.

January 28 | Vanessa Warne (Associate Professor at U of M and Book Review Editor for Victorian Review) will discuss the endearing popularity of the novel.

The remarkable, dark and compelling story of Antoinette Cosway, Creole heiress from the West Indies, who becomes the first Mrs. Edward Rochester and brings ruin to Thornfield Hall.

An intelligent and passionate orphan triumphs over misfortune and a largely uncaring world. Gemma Hardy is Jane Eyre set in Scotland and the Orkney Islands in the 1950s and ‘60s, with more than enough originality to make the familiar story new again.

Jane Eyre (1944 film adaptation) With Aldous Huxley collaborating on the screenplay and Orson Welles influencing the script and the filming (and starring as Rochester), this dark and moody adaptation is still thought of as one of the best.

Jane Eyre (2011 film adaptation) Cary Fukunaga directs a popular and lauded adaptation, with Michael Fassbender as Edward Rochester and Mia Wasikowska as what some consider the best Jane yet.

Jean Murray – Moray Sinclair Theatre Scholarships and Apprenticeships Fund During the run of Jane Eyre, MTC asks for your support to assist post-secondary theatre students and emerging artists who are looking to gain experience in their professions. During the intermission, ushers will come around to collect donations for the fund, which has so far provided over 800 awards to more than 400 Manitobans. Last season, your donations allowed us to offer scholarships to 18 students and apprenticeships to five young professionals.

Thank you for continuing to support up-and-coming Manitoban artists!

For more information on the Jean Murray – Moray Sinclair Theatre Scholarships and Apprenticeships or for an application package, please visit www.mtc.mb.ca/scholarship. You can contact MTC’s Outreach Manager at outreach@mtc.mb.ca or 204-934-0304.

Scholarship recipient Evan Klassen shares what your support means to him My very first job was as an usher at the Concert Hall next door, and I grew to become interested in, and involved with, the backstage activities. I connected with one of Rainbow Stage’s stage managers, who encouraged me to take classes to get some formal training in stage management. My career as a stage manager has developed directly from my taking classes at the University of Winnipeg. Several years later, I returned to school to take an Arts and Cultural Management program via distance education at Grant MacEwan University in Edmonton.

Attending school while working is nearly impossible. While taking my Arts and Cultural Management program, I relied on my ‘down time’ between stage management contracts to get the schoolwork done. This always came at a financial cost, however, as when I was between contracts, I also had little income to pay for the courses. Many thanks to the scholarship fund for helping bridge the gap and make it possible to further my education! The money from MTC was a great help.

A good formal education is vital for success at a career in the theatre. There are many, many people interested in what we do, and you have to stand out amongst the rest. Education is an important step towards establishing yourself as a professional, and I’ve found my training in both programs has helped me gain credibility, establish the basic vocabulary of the industry, and help develop the important network of contacts.

Evan Klassen is the Stage Manager of Jane Eyre

EDUCATION & OUTREACH EXPLORE FICTION INSPIRED BY CHARLOTTE AND HER SISTERS

Becoming Jane Eyre by Sheila Kohler

and so had access to personal letters, interviews, and her own observations.

The Brontë Myth by Lucasta Miller

A vision of what life could have been like in the secluded Brontë home, from the thoughts of the Brontë patriarch to the family nurse, from boarding school deaths to the genesis of the Jane Eyre character, and the interrelationship between life and fiction.

The Secret Diaries of Charlotte Brontë by Syrie James This fictional diary turns Charlotte into a romantic protagonist in her own right. The setting is the moody moors of Yorkshire. Charlotte and her sisters are desperately trying to handle their peculiar father, who is slowly losing his eyesight, and a brother with a drug problem. The plot thickens with the introduction of Arthur Nicholls, a mysterious and intriguing new neighbour.

EXPLORE MORE ABOUT THE BRONTËS

The Life of Charlotte Brontë by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell The official biography of Charlotte by a fellow female Victorian novelist, who also happened to be her friend,

The Brontës have inspired more works (biographies, plays, movies and novels) than they themselves produced, and have reached what could be argued is cult status. This work tracks the different ways they have been and continue to be portrayed and analyzed, whether romantic, feminist, Marxist or postfeminist.

The Victorian House: Domestic Life from Childbirth to Deathbed

by Judith Flanders A room-by-room tour of everyday life in a Victorian home, from childbirth in the master bedroom, through the scullery, kitchen, and dining room (cleaning, dining and entertaining) and upwards, ending in the sickroom and death. Running water, stoves, flush lavatories – even toilet paper – arrived slowly throughout the century, and most were luxuries available only to the prosperous. Discover the not-too-charming manual labour behind the outward elegance.

You can borrow these great titles from your local library.

THE SEAGULL

Glossary of terms for The Seagull LANDED GENTRY

HAMLET

An historical, largely British, social class consisting of landowners who could live entirely off rental income. They often worked only in an administrative capacity, in the management of their own lands.

In 1837, Hamlet was translated by Polevoy and hit the stage at the Maly. From then on it was a fixture of the Russian repertory. In Polevoy’s version, Hamlet was a typical Russian dandy of the 1830s: futile, world-weary, introspective, morbidly sensitive and extremely articulate.

RUBLE

The basic monetary unit of Russia, the Soviet Union, and its successor states. One ruble is divided into 100 kopecks.

NEKRASOV

Nikolai Nekrasov was a Russian poet, writer, critic and publisher, whose deeply compassionate poems about peasant Russia won him Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s admiration and made him the hero of liberal and radical circles of Russian intelligentsia.

DUSE

Italian actress Eleonora Duse, who was highly acclaimed as a heroine in the plays of Gabriele D’Annunzio and Henrik Ibsen.

ODESSA

A seaport city in Ukraine.

MAUPASSANT AND EIFFEL TOWER

Guy de Maupassant (1850–1893), a French writer whose works began to appear in Russian in 1894.

The Eiffel Tower was erected by Gustave Eiffel in 1889 for the Paris Exposition and, at 300 metres, was the highest man-made structure of the time.

Maupassant detested it as a symbol of materialism and modern vulgarity; he chose to dine at its restaurant, the only place in Paris from which one could not see the tower.

KIEV SHOPKEEPER

Literally, a Kievan meshchanin that is a burgher, townsman, artisan or small tradesman. The word bears connotations of narrow-mindedness, philistinism and parochialism. By marrying Treplyov’s father, Arkadina had come down in station. And although Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, was the seventh most populous city in Russia, to be associated with it suggests provincialism.

TOLSTOY

A Russian writer best know for his novels and short stories. Leo Tolstoy was a master of realistic fiction and is widely considered one of the world’s greatest novelists. He is best known for two long novels, War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877).

ZOLA

A French writer, Émile Zola was the most important exemplar of the literary school of naturalism and an important contributor to the development of theatrical naturalism. He was a major figure in the political liberalization of France.

JAN/FEB 2014

JEUNE PREMIER

The male juvenile lead in a play or movie, or a young actor who plays such a role.

TURGENEV

A Russian novelist, short story writer and playwright.

Ivan Turgenov’s first major publication, a short story collection entitled A Sportsman’s Sketches (1852), was a milestone of Russian Realism, and his novel Fathers and Sons (1862) is regarded as one of the major works of 19th-century fiction.

AGAMEMNON

In Greek legend, Agamemnon was king of Mycenae or Argos and brother of Menelaus, king of Sparta.

When Helen, the wife of Menelaus, was abducted by Paris of Troy, Agamemnon commanded the united Greek forces in the ensuing Trojan War. ELIZAVETGRAD

A city of central Ukraine, south-southeast of Kiev.

It is primarily an agricultural trade centre in the black-earth region of southern Ukraine. Also known as Kirovohrad.

SLAVYANSKY BAZAAR

One of the newest, busiest modern hotels in Moscow. An unaccompanied young woman of the educated class would encounter no embarrassment there. Constantin Stanislavsky and Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko talked there for 18 hours on June 22, 1897 and hammered out the details of what would become known as the Moscow Arts Theatre.

MOLCHANOVKA, GROKHOLSKY HOUSE

Trigorin’s address in Moscow.

KHARKOV

Kharkov is the university town in Ukraine, which, in Chekhov, usually stands for provincial boredom.

YELETS

A city in Lipetsk Oblast, Russia, situated on the Bystraya Sosna River.

THE DECADENT SCHOOL

A group of writers who valued artifice and symbolism above naturalism (at the time, the prevalent tradition).

PASHKA

Diminutive of Pavel; Shamrayev wants to seem as if he is good friends with the famous actor.

CURTAIN CALLS

THE SEAGULL was a triumph that would not only launch the company (where a seagull adorns the curtain to this day), but would help usher Russian theatre into a new century. These first two productions of The Seagull are perfect examples of how theatre is subjective, ephemeral and dependent not only on the artists who come together to create it, but the group of people who convene to see it at any given time. On stage, we see this not only from production to production, but also from night to night during a run of a play.

For me, The Seagull is first and foremost a play about art and artists. It asks the questions: What is art? Who is an artist? Who is a real artist? How can one survive the life of an artist?

Despite the rejections, criticism and inner dissatisfaction, Chekhov often felt that as an artist he was driven by an obsession to write.

In The Seagull, Arkadina, a celebrated actress and Trigorin, her famous writer lover, visit her family’s country estate. It’s there that the debate on art begins as the young struggle to find their way into Russian theatre and literary circles while the old mourn for a road not taken, or the good old days, when things made sense.

Krista Jackson

Director’s notes

by Krista Jackson Anton Chekhov was a playwright who was interested in putting life as it really happens on the stage, which was considered radical in turnof-the-century Russia. After the fiasco of The Seagull’s first performance at the Alexandrinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg on October 17, 1896, Chekhov fled the theatre to walk the streets and later told a friend, “If I live another 700 years, I won’t let the theatre have another play.” The audience was cruel and the play savaged by reviewers. It lasted only five performances.

In December 1898, the great director and teacher Konstantin Stanislavsky remounted The Seagull as the inaugural production of his new Moscow Arts Theatre. With six weeks rehearsal – as opposed to 10 days for the St. Petersburg production – it 26

JAN/FEB 2014

Chekhovian life is hard, and lived at a time of uncomfortable change. The aristocracy – much like the leading actresses of the Imperial Theatre embodied in Arkadina – were vanishing at the turn of the century. The onward march of the new, that destabilizes as it invigorates, provokes the bigger question found in all of Chekhov’s major plays: Why live? His people are all trying to make the best of each day through their boredom, silent sufferings, dissatisfactions and unrequited loves.

Some choose to look forward to what’s next, some accept the cards they have been dealt, all look to the past for a glimpse of meaning.

Chekhov names The Seagull a comedy.

Stanislavsky saw it as a tragedy and chose to direct the Moscow production as such.

Perhaps the comedy is actually in the tragedy: a bitter vaudeville. What I love so much about Chekhov is that, with deep affection, he reveals his characters through their ironies and contradictions while giving us the opportunity to laugh at their ineffectualness. Yet in them we also can’t help but recognize our own. So as the laughter subsides, often in the very next breath, we get a pitch-perfect look at the mundane moments of the everyday and can’t help but cry a little for the heartbreak of daily life.

We are proud to support the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre and bring you the 2013/2014 season at the Tom Hendry Warehouse.

She would like to thank her family and friends for all the love and support in her life.

Born in the small port city of Taganrog, Russia in 1860, Anton Pavlovich Chekhov studied in Moscow to be a doctor, writing short, comic sketches and vignettes of contemporary Russian life to support his family and pay his tuition. By age 26 he gained wide fame as a writer of short stories and decided to turn his attention to drama, writing a series of mostly comedic one-act farces.

In 1892 Chekhov settled in the country village of Melikhove as a full-time writer, but donated his medical services to the area’s peasant population.

During this time, he published some of his most memorable short stories, including Neighbors, Ward Number Six, The Black Monk, The Murder and Ariadne.

In 1901, Chekhov married actress Olga Knipper, who performed in his four major plays – The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters and The Cherry Orchard.

Six months after The Cherry Orchard’s successful premiere in 1904, Chekhov died of tuberculosis.

A 2007 revival of Leaving Home by Toronto’s Soulpepper Theatre played to sold-out houses and was nominated for five Dora Awards. Among French’s other works are One Crack Out, That Summer, Silver Dagger, The Riddle of the World, as well as translations of Chekhov’s The Seagull and Strindberg’s Miss Julie.

Alix Sobler’s The Secret Annex asks ‘what if?’

FEB. 19 – MAR. 8

“Must we always be remembering? Can’t we just look ahead?” – MARGOT

In a way, Alix Sobler’s fascinating new play remembers and looks ahead at the same time. Inspired by Anne Frank’s famous diary, The Secret Annex is a work of fiction that fits into a broader genre of literature called ‘alternate history’.

Many fans of the genre are history buffs who are intrigued by questions like ‘What if the Confederacy won the American Civil War?’ or ‘What if John F. Kennedy lived?’ but there is a significant literary component as well.

A little research turns up hundreds of titles where authors speculate about what the world would look like if history had taken a different course.

Examples range from science fiction novels to historical books such as The Boleyn King, which considers what would have happened if Anne Boleyn had given birth to the son Henry VIII so desperately wanted.

While The Secret Annex may belong in the ‘what if?’ mold, the play’s premise is only the beginning. As we get swept up in the lives of Anne and Margot in 1950s New York, intriguing questions float to the surface. This includes the biggest one of all: would Anne Frank’s story have captivated the hearts of millions of people had she lived?
