WELCOME

Dear Friends, As we draw the curtain on our 2013-2014 English Season, we are grateful to have shared some wonderful and challenging works of theatre with you. From the jazz-age musical Ain’t Misbehavin’, to reinterpreted classics Othello and The Seagull, to our on-the-edge salesmen who sold out their run of Paul Flicker’s directorial debut, Glengarry Glen Ross and now on to the fierce women of Top Girls as they take centre stage.

Tonight, you sit in front of a truly multitalented ensemble that will bring Caryl Churchill’s daring and entertaining study of women and success to life. Turn the pages to hear more about Top Girls from Paul Flicker and its director, Micheline Chevrier. As always, I invite you to share your thoughts on your experience over our social media networks, our post-show survey, or in person.

The Dora Wasserman Yiddish Theatre is currently in rehearsals for the World Yiddish Premiere of Soul Doctor: Journey of a Rock Star Rabbi. This unabashedly uplifting musical featuring the songs and music of Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach is coming to you direct from Broadway and is for everyone! Reserve your seats today.

On behalf of the entire Segal team, I want to thank you, our audience, for your loyalty, curiosity and sense of adventure. Continue this journey with us and subscribe to our 2014-2015 Season. We are Dreaming Big with world-class talent, dazzling new takes on beloved stories and world-premiere musicals that will leave you wanting more.

Hold on to your seats!

ARTISTIC PRODUCER'S NOTE

“After a good dinner one can forgive anybody, even one's own relations.”

Oscar Wilde’s Woman of No Importance When I began writing these letters, I proposed to use this space to inform you of our artistic aspirations and provide you with some of the rationales as to why we choose the plays you see at the Segal Centre. I hope that you have enjoyed reading the notes as much as I have enjoyed writing them.

Over the seasons I have been curating the artistic offer at the Segal Centre, I have striven to advance three important principles in our programming: to be multidisciplinary, multilingual and multicultural. We have had full seasons of music, dance, theatre and musical theatre. My tastes are eclectic both in terms of genre and design. I feel it important being located in the most diverse borough in Canada, that there be a spirit of inclusiveness reflected in both our programming and in the artists we engage. I must also confess a weakness for spectacle and a love of the spectacular.

Top Girls is the embodiment in many of those principals. The play is one of the great works of the late Twentieth Century. The first scene is fantastical, while each scene thereafter becomes more and more naturalistic. The design is bold and makes a use of our space unlike any previous production. The cast is incredibly talented and diverse (from which I may take satisfaction but not credit – as that belongs in this case to the director). Speaking of whom, I am honoured to host Micheline Chevrier before my time at the Segal comes to an end. She is one of the top directors working in English theatre in Canada. There is no one better to lead this production.

Milton wrote “The way to know were not to see but to taste.” Enjoy the feast that is Top Girls.

Bon spectacle.

Paul B. Flicker Artistic Producer

DIRECTOR'S NOTE

I was 22 year old in 1980. I had just graduated from McGill University and was eager to begin my working days as a theatre director. I remember it as a time of promise, of plenty. I remember being told that I could have it all: career, love, family. It was up to me, if I had what it took…

In revisiting Churchill’s brilliant play, an insightful and creative account of that time, I am reminded of my own choices, challenges and sacrifices. I was then, and am still now, pulled between the allure of individualism, with its promise of freedom, and the power of the collective, where there is strength in numbers.

But ultimately, I am moved by what women continue to do to adapt to the changing environment. How they don the necessary ‘costume’ to fulfill their role, how their choice of dress is a clear reflection of what they believe they are, wish to be, need to represent.

All these preoccupations have coloured our conversations while working on this inspiring piece. And there is more, so much more. But Churchill’s timeless words speak for themselves.

Enjoy.

Micheline Chevrier Director

ABOUT THE PLAY

THE DINNER PARTY Marlene's Guests The famous first scene of Top Girls brings together six women from backgrounds that could not be more diverse. Two are historical, two are allegorical, and one is likely nothing more than a rumour-turned-folklore.

France Rolland, Lucinda Davis, Leni Parker, Lauryn Allman, Elana Dunkelman (photo: George Allister)

ISABELLA BIRD (1831-1904) - lived in Edinburgh, travelled extensively between the ages of 40 and 70.

LADY NIJO (1258-1307) - Japanese, was an Emperor's courtesan and later a Buddhist nun who travelled on foot through Japan.

DULL GRET - is the subject of the Brueghel painting Dulle Griet, in which a woman in an apron and armour leads a crowd of women charging through hell and fighting the devils.

POPE JOAN - disguised as a man, is thought to have been Pope between 854-856.

PATIENT GRISELDA is the obedient wife whose story is told by Chaucer in "The Clerk's Tale" of The Canterbury Tales.

BIOGRAPHIES

CARYL CHURCHILL Playwright Widely considered to be one of Britain’s greatest living playwrights, Caryl Churchill’s witty, powerfully intelligent dialogue and her imaginative sense of dramatic structure saw her at the forefront of British playwriting in the 1980s and 1990s. Perhaps her best-known work, Top Girls was first staged at London’s Royal Court Theatre in 1982. The play keenly predicted the rise of bourgeois 'post-feminism' in the Thatcherite 1980s, raising thoughtprovoking questions, notably in its legendary opening act where the stories of six women from history overlap and connect over a restaurant meal. Other notable works from this period include Serious Money, Mad Forest, The Striker, Cloud Nine and Softcops. Churchill’s plays have been performed on international stages, on the BBC radio, and adapted for BBC television and frequently deal with feminist issues, abuses of power and sexual politics.

She is the recipient of a number of awards including an Olivier Award, several Susan Smith Blackburn Prizes, and multiple Obie and Evening Standard Awards. Caryl Churchill lives in London; her latest play, Ding Dong the Wicked, premiered at London’s Royal Court Theatre in 2013.

Fun Fact!

Born in 1938 in London, playwright Caryl Churchill immigrated with her family to Montreal after World War II, at the age of ten years old. She attended the Trafalgar School for Girls from 1948-1955, and returned to England to attend Lady Margaret Hall at Oxford University.

MICHELINE CHEVRIER Director For over thirty years, Micheline has worked across Canada as a director, dramaturg and artistic director. As a director she has worked in a variety of theatres ranging from major festivals to creation-based companies, from major regional theatres to theatre for young audiences. Her directorial credits include works by Molière, Sophocles, Chekhov, Virginia Woolf, Dario Fo and Edward Albee; several Canadian playwrights such as John Murrell, David French, Colleen Murphy, Ann-Marie Macdonald and Judith Thompson; as well as numerous Quebecois writers such as Michel Tremblay, Michel Marc Bouchard, Carole Fréchette, Jean Marc Dalpé and François Archambault. Most recently, she directed The Iliad for Geordie Productions and If We Were Birds for Imago Theatre. From 1995 to 2000, Micheline was the Artistic Director of the Great Canadian Theatre Company in Ottawa, and is presently the Artistic Director of Montreal’s Imago Theatre. She has directed and taught at the National Theatre School, Concordia University, Dalhousie University and University of Alberta to name a few. She is the recipient of several awards including Calgary’s Betty Mitchell Award, Ottawa’s Capital Critic’s Award and Toronto’s Dora Mavor Moore Award. Micheline is thrilled to be working for the first time with the incredible team at the Segal.

BIOGRAPHIES

MAX-OTTO FAUTEUX Set Design Max-otto graduated from the Set and Costume Design Program at the National Theatre School of Canada in 2010. Since then, he has collaborated with directors who celebrate the work of contemporary playwrights. Max-otto's set designs reflect his interest in merging a variety of contemporary art forms with theatre, while always considering the location and architecture of the space in which the art is presented.

Most of Max-otto's visual designs have been presented in theatres such as Espace Go, La Licorne, Théâtre d'Aujourd'hui, Espace libre, National Arts Centre and the Segal Centre, however we can find his interpretation of space vis à vis musical and performative objects in various co-creations with other Canadian artists such as Forêt, Random Recipe and Radio Radio.

MYLÈNE CHABROL Costume Design Mylène Chabrol is a set and costume designer hailing from Lille, France.

She moved to Montreal in 2007 to attend the National Theatre School, where she had the opportunity to work with such directors as Patrice Sauvé (Les sorcières de Salem, costumes), Christian Lapointe (Douleurs fantômes, set, costumes, props), Gill Champagne (Kliniken, costumes).

Upon graduating in 2010, she collaborated with l’Opéra de Montréal's Atelier Lyrique on their production of The Consul (director Oriol Tomas, costumes). She designed the set and props for Adésam's multidisciplinary project En quête d'une ville (director Alain Francoeur), on Espace Go's production of Attends-moi (director Marie Charlebois, costumes) and at Théâtre de Quat’sous with Faire des enfants (director, set and costumes) and Les Morb(y)des by Sébastien David (director Gaetan Paré, set design). You may have also seen her work at La Licorne (costumes for Après moi by Christian Bégin), at la Maison de la culture Frontenac (set and props for La Famille by Éric Noel), and for the FTA with l’Homme Atlantique, directed by Christian Lapointe. Upcoming: costume design for Wajdi Mouawad’s Des Héros (France). Mylène also exercises her craft and all around passion for the visual arts as a stylist and props master in photography and advertising.

MARTIN SIROIS Lighting Design Martin Sirois is a light artist who works primarily in theatre. His geometric lighting designs, filled with symbolism, were recently seen in productions created by Christian Lapointe, Eric Jean, Wajdi Mouawad, Hanna Abd El Nour and Alexandre Marine. His lighting serves to create volume and give life to an empty space before it is inhabited by the performers. Using the architectural functions of light without simply producing light, his design shapes the structure of the black space and then the setting through angles and colours.

The darkness is divided to create a space that exists beyond the actors, the set and the stage itself. Martin’s aim is to give scenic value, psychological and emotional power value to the light before even attempting to illuminate an object or a character. In this way, the audience member is open and ready to listen, feel, and observe. Martin is a graduate of the National Theatre School of Canada (Production, 2005).
