THEATER

NAMED “ONE OF the best plays of the year” by The Boston Globe, Mala at The Old Globe is a one-woman play that was written by—and stars—Melinda Lopez. It’s a brutally honest, funny and touching catharsis of sorts—centered on “Mala,” meaning “bad to the core.” Always the good daughter, Lopez was given this nickname by her mother later in life. The play runs at the White Theatre through June 12, offering select presentations performed by Yadira Correa in Spanish. Cygnet Theatre brings us the SoCal premiere of Dominique Morisseau’s Mud Row, through June 19. Delicia Turner Sonnenberg directs this play centered on two generations of sisters dealing with issues of race, class, family and love.

THE PLAY

FROM BARRY “He was not of an age, but for all time!” Shakespeare’s contemporary Ben Jonson described his friend with this immortal line in the preface to the First Folio, the first complete works of Shakespeare, printed in 1623. It’s hard to think of a more influential statement about the English language’s greatest playwright. We regard Shakespeare’s timelessness as one of his most extraordinary characteristics: he seems to have understood human events centuries in advance, and his insights feel like they transcend history. But in my decades of work on his plays, I’ve sometimes found it necessary to invert Jonson’s formula and suggest that Shakespeare was very much of his own age. Indeed, we can use Shakespeare’s plays as a way to measure just how much human society has changed since the 1590s when he first sat down to work. In some ways, we’ve not changed at all: now as then, parents love their children. Now as then, the moon is beautiful in the night sky. Now as then, we feel a charge of new energy when the flowers bloom in spring. Shakespeare renders all of these in language that’s indelible and ineffable. And in some ways, we’ve changed massively over four centuries, and from our vantage point we can recognize in a handful of Shakespeare’s plays a set of ideas that feel outdated and even retrograde. Othello, for example, encodes a frequently benighted view of race from which we’ve progressed. The Merchant of Venice has a vein of anti-Semitic bigotry running through it that we’re relieved to have (mostly, thankfully) left behind. And tonight’s play, The Taming of the Shrew, centers on a construction of gender that, at this moment in particular, can feel very problematic in a culture striving to address and dismantle systemic misogyny. These plays, the ones that reveal a Shakespeare very much rooted in the attitudes and beliefs of early-modern Europe, are both the most exciting and also the most challenging to revive in the contemporary theatre. They require directors with great ideas, trenchant interpretations, and deep theatrical skill sets and tool kits.

Festival just north of New York City. I had the great good fortune to see that production, and I found it the best staging of this play I’d ever seen. The instant the lights blacked out on a breathtaking final moment, I asked Shana to restage the production here, in an expanded version (it had only six actors in New York, and minimal scenery). I’m so pleased she accepted my invitation. Shana finds in this play’s DNA the imprint of the Italian folk theatre tradition of commedia dell’arte, and she runs with it. Shakespeare is very consciously riffing on this tradition in the play, embracing and extending its reliance on physical comedy, remixing its many archetypal characters, and celebrating its obsession with stereotypes and their implications. The play is deeply and fundamentally comedic in conception, and Shana’s insight is that this essential comic substructure is the key to decoding the plot’s complex gender formulations and upending its familiar “battle of the sexes” energy. Shana also finds deep love in the play, and conceives of Kate and Petruchio, the iconic couple at the center of the story, as outsiders who discover a unique bond that allows them to transcend and even escape the anxieties of the conventional and limiting society around them. Shana’s work on this production makes me understand the play in a new way, or, more precisely, this is a production whose director has shown me that a play I thought I knew is actually one I didn’t know at all. That’s what great Shakespeare directing is supposed to do. Shana’s ace design team and fearless and endlessly inventive cast body forth her brilliant interpretation with verve and delight. Proudly among that cast is our current cohort of actors-in-training at The Old Globe and University of San Diego Shiley Graduate Theatre Program. They, and directors like Shana Cooper, are the future of Shakespeare in America, and it’s in their hands that Shakespeare will fulfill his Jonsonian destiny and be a writer “for all time.” I’m deeply grateful to them all. Thanks for coming. Enjoy the show.

Shana Cooper is such a director. An artist I’ve long admired, and one I’ve tried for years to bring to the Globe, Shana directed a thrilling and incisive Shrew in 2018 for the wonderful Hudson Valley Shakespeare

THE PLAY

A NOTE FROM

SHANA COOPER

DIRECTOR

Why produce The Taming of the Shrew? In any time, but particularly in this time, as our society is doing the critical work of trying to refind and redefine ourselves after a global pandemic? It is a play that has always ignited passionate feelings in audiences and artists, in large part because of a debate about the author’s point of view. Is this a misogynistic play or a play about misogyny? Here’s what we know… The world of Taming is one where men control the narrative: of how success is defined, of what makes a desirable woman and—equally important—what does not. It’s a world in which women are judged and punished for not adhering to the rules of the game as dictated by a patriarchal society, where love is a commodity, women are sold to the highest bidder, and wealth and power define what it is to be a man. And it’s a world in which anger in women is unacceptable and blamed wholly on the woman expressing it, never on the society and actions engendering it. And in the world of Taming, it is a revolutionary act to forge a path for partnership outside the traditional system. It feels meaningful to me that the most successful marriage we witness in this story is that of two people who decide to create a new way of life and love. And those who have succeeded in the problematic mainstream approach end up miserable or alone. This has to tell us something about Shakespeare’s point of view. Would a writer who is celebrating the patriarchy make the members of that club the ultimate losers of the game? I wish we lived in a world where Taming felt dated and reflected a sexist and gendered time that we no longer inhabit. But it just doesn’t. The stakes of this play feel more raw and personal than ever before. From the 2016 election to the #MeToo movement to the radical inequities of how the pandemic has impacted people based on race, class, and gender, it has been revealed just how much the world of Padua is our own. In Kate and Petruchio, Shakespeare gifts us two radical souls who possess the courage to fight for a new kind of love that flies in the face of (and plants the seeds to transform) the status quo. Our playwright is refreshingly honest about the challenges: most significantly, how do you begin to change the world when you are also a product of that world’s failings? Despite the limitations of their society, Kate and Petruchio create a unique game of life they can play together. In this, I hear Shakespeare proposing that if the system is broken, our job is to do the radical thing of creating a new one. That process may be messy. And we will likely fail many times along the way. But if we keep at it, we may just find something miraculous on the other side.  Photo by Jenny Baker. P6 PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE

“The last scene is altogether disgusting to

The Critics on The Taming of the Shrew

modern sensibility. No man with any decency of feeling can sit it out in the company of a woman without feeling extremely ashamed. —George Bernard Shaw, 1897

“It is not until [Petruchio] positively declares that the sun is the moon that the joke breaks upon [Katherine] in its full fantasy, and it is then that she wins her first and final victory by showing she has a sense of fun as extravagant as his own, and is able to go beyond him ... She has secured what her sister Bianca can never have, a happy marriage.” —Nevil Coghill, 1950

”

“What Petruchio wants, and ends up with, is a Katharina of unbroken spirit and gaiety who has suffered only minor physical discomfort and who has learned the value of self-control and of caring about someone other than herself.” —Anne Barton, 1974

“The open end of The Taming of the Shrew is Katharina’s mind, undisclosed in soliloquy. And so it is appropriate that the play should end on a faint, but ominous, question mark. —Ralph Berry, 1972

In the critical history of Shakespeare’s plays, The Taming of the Shrew has inspired perhaps the most contentious and contradictory reactions. To this day, it offers a battleground of ideas to scholars, directors, and audiences. Here is a sampling of critical response to the play over the past 150 years.

“Bianca’s rebellion is perhaps the most optimistic sign the play affords us. Even the Good Child, in her new role as wife, calls [the] exhibition of obedience ‘a foolish duty,’ and refuses to submit. But Kate herself is a living sacrifice to the pedagogy of patriarchal rule that holds her culture in thrall.” —Katherine A. Sirluck, 1991

“The history of criticism of The Shrew is dominated by feelings of unease and embarrassment, accompanied by the desire to prove that Shakespeare cannot have meant what he seems to be saying; and that therefore he cannot really be saying it … For Shakespeare’s plays show a steady, profound, and moving allegiance to the image of women’s integrity and intelligence, and an insistence on their oppression under patriarchy which runs counter to the conventions of the period.” —Stevie Davies, 1995

“I think there are three toxic plays that resist rehabilitation and appropriation that are written by Shakespeare. And they are Merchant of Venice, Othello, and Taming of the Shrew. And for each of them, there is a desire to recuperate them and make them progressive texts. But ultimately, those three end up kind of circling us back to a really regressive and uncomfortable standpoint.” –Ayanna Thompson, 2019 PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE P7

THE PLAY

Director Shana Cooper originally staged The Taming of the Shrew at the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival in 2018 with only six actors and minimal scenery. Here at The Old Globe, she revisits and reimagines that production on a larger scale, a rare opportunity for any director. The Globe production features a cast of 20; a bigger, broader palette of scenic elements; and the chance to explore the physical world of these characters in a whole new way. Before that expanded design was brought to life by the Globe’s talented artisans, it began as ideas in the minds of the designers. This page features a look into the design process: the lively costume renderings of Ásta Bennie Hostetter, and the set model for Wilson Chin’s striking and playful scenic design. 

ARTS ENGAGEMENT

Barry Edelstein discusses next year’s production of Henry 6, what makes it so special to the Globe, and the incredible community involvement it will feature. Interview by Katherine Harroff First, what made you decide to include the San Diego community in this project? I’ve loved these plays for a long time and have always wanted to direct them. And when I got to the Globe 10 years ago, I discovered that they were the only plays by Shakespeare that this theatre had never done! So I thought, “Gotta do them!” They are wild, fun, dramatic, eventful plays that tell the story of a decades-long civil war in England centuries ago. But they feel very contemporary, because they deeply explore how history and huge national events play out in the lives of ordinary citizens. This made it seem right to include our community partners in the work, to help us dig more deeply into these themes and find ways to help them resonate for San Diego. How do you plan to include San Diegans in this process next year? We’re having a great time figuring that out. Certainly some San Diegans might participate directly onstage in the show, either live in person or via filmed sequences that are incorporated into the show. Others might be backstage crew. And still others might take part in conceiving and executing the stage design or costume design for the show. We’re really trying to make the process of building the show an invitation to San Diego to explore theatre making and all that goes into it.

Get involved with The Old Globe's summer 2023 production of Henry 6! First Series: Playing Henry!: Play with the themes and characters of Henry 6 with this 10-week public workshop of fun exercises, warm-up games, and creative writing prompts. Come for one, come for all!

What are you looking forward to the most for this undertaking? When the plays are produced, The Old Globe will join a very short list of American theatres that have produced the entire canon of Shakespeare. I’m so excited by that: this is a great Shakespeare theatre, but now it will find itself in some very rare air! I hope that San Diego takes pride in this achievement, and I’m looking forward to the feeling of satisfaction and exhilaration that comes when the shows are up and running. What do you hope participating community members can take away from the experience? We talk all the time about The Old Globe’s commitment to make theatre matter to more people, and that’s what I hope this does. I hope that the individuals who participate will find that theatre is a thing whose beauty and richness and complexity really enriches their lives. I hope people are surprised to find that these plays from centuries ago, produced in an artful and thoughtful way, can bring delight, growth, and possibility. Is there anything else you’d like the community interested in participating to know about this experience? We tend to think of Shakespeare as being this remote, elevated thing. Henry 6 is all about how immediate and personal he is. There’s a great energy to these plays that I hope our community partners and everyone in San Diego find their own particular connection to. It’s what’s so special about Shakespeare: there’s a kind of electrical current running through his work that’s full of vitality, and brightness, and the truth that a life with art and theatre in it is exciting and fun and good.

“The Old Globe is one of North America’s great Shakespeare companies, and in its 87 years it has produced almost every Shakespeare play, some many times,” said Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. “But three plays have remained undone: Henry VI, Parts I, II, and III. Over the past two years I’ve had the privilege to adapt these three plays into two, and to conceive a production of them that embraces their full sweep, from drama to comedy, from the personal to the political, and from the intimate to the epic. Henry 6 will be a work of professional Shakespeare at the high level Globe audiences have come to expect, but it will also weave our nationally renowned arts engagement programming into our work in new ways, as community members participate in the making of the show throughout every part of the process. This will be a grand adventure for the Globe and me, and I’m thrilled to share it with San Diego.” Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic Director Barry Edelstein at the Shakespeare in Prisons Conference, 2018.

REMEMBERING

JOHN ALFRED BEROL 1948–2022 The Old Globe simply won’t be the same without John Berol. A generous philanthropist and former member of our Board of Directors, John was a lover of theatre and a dedicated supporter of the Globe. Endlessly curious, eyes sparkling with delight, he could talk for hours about his passion for this artform, engaging in lively conversations about how shows are produced, choices directors make when staging classics, or interpretations of Shakespeare. With a big smile and an even bigger heart, he hosted events for the Globe at his home, supported theatre projects he cared about, and connected the Globe to his family and others who shared his love of theatre. We will miss him, but his family is our family. We extend our condolences and love to his wife Diane, his stepdaughter Leah, and his son and grandsons.

“We are such stuff As dreams are made on; and our little life Is rounded with a sleep.” —The Tempest PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE P21

NO RUSTLING PAGES, no killing trees.... Of all the innovations to have come out of the pandemic, the new Performances program platform, accessed on any digital device, may be least likely to disappear in the foreseeable future. Not only has its time come—it was long overdue. Performances provides the programs for 20 SoCal performingarts organizations, from the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Ahmanson to San Diego Opera, where the app made its debut.

012-013_ADS_PSD_0622.indd 13

WHAT’S ON What’s coming at a glance and ticket information.

The touchless platform provides cast and player bios, donor and season updates and arts-centric features. Audiences receive a link and code word that instantly activate the app; QR codes are posted, too. Screens go dark when curtains rise and return with the house lights. Updates—repertory changes, understudy substitutions, significant donations—can be made right up to showtime, no inserts necessary. Other features include video and audio streams, translations and expanded biographies.

For those who consider printed programs keepsakes, a limited number, as well as commemorative issues for special events, will continue to be produced. Collectibles! Meanwhile, there will be less deforestation, consumption of petroleum inks and programs headed for landfills. For the ecologically minded, the platform gets a standing ovation. Theaters and concert halls are reopening after a year-long intermission. The stage is set, excitement is mounting. Activate your link and enjoy the shows. —CALEB WACHS

CONT’D. FROM PAGE 11

La Jolla Playhouse June 14 through July 24, librettist Carson Kreitzer and composer Matt Gould introduce today’s audiences to the Polish painter Tamara de Lempicka— who fled the Russian Revolution to become a star of the Parisian, bohemian Art Deco movement. Choreographed by Raja Feather Kelly and directed by Rachel Chavkin, Lempicka premiered in

18 PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE

July 2018—presented at the Tony Awardwinning Williamstown Theatre Festival—but Chavkin says it has undergone some serious revision since then. “There have been enormous changes since the show’s premiere,” Chavkin says. “Carson [Kreitzer] and Matt [Gould] are relentless revisers; and it’s incredibly inspiring to witness their commitment to tightening

and deepening the many layers—both personal and political—upon which this show works.” Indeed, Tamara Lempicka was almost as famous for her romantic and sexual adventures as for her art—which was a blend of late, refined cubism and the neoclassical style, particularly inspired by the work of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. Born in Warsaw, she briefly moved to

Saint Petersburg, where she married a prominent Polish lawyer. Once settled in Paris, she studied painting with Maurice Denis and André Lhote. With plenty of talent and ambition, she soon became an active participant in the artistic and social life of Paris between the World Wars. She is best known for her polished Art Deco portraits of aristocrats and the wealthy; and for her highly stylized paintings of nudes. In fact, her work is so strongly identified with this era that if you read the Ayn Rand novels The Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged in high school, your edition probably had one of Lempicka’s paintings on the cover. But Lempicka was also bisexual, and as the musical follows her artistic journey, her personal journey also unfolds. She falls in love with the streetsmart prostitute Rafaela, her model who becomes her muse. Tamara finds herself torn between her husband and the passion and decadence ignited by the free-spirited Rafaela. The musical’s show-stopping number comes at the end of the first act—after Tamara paints Rafaela for the first time, they go out on the town, and the two of them realize they have feelings for each

other. After a wild night of sex, the act concludes with Rafaela asleep and Tamara on the balcony belting “Woman Is.” It’s a gorgeous, life-affirming song that captures what it feels like to be in love with another woman, and how liberating it can be. The pop-infused score driving Lempicka through decades of political upheaval and the personal turmoil of a woman caught between two worlds comes from Gould. The composer is a two-time Richard Rodgers Award winner (2012 and 2014); and a Jonathan Larson Award winner. His musical Witness Uganda (aka Invisible Thread)— written with Griffin Matthews—had its New York premiere at Second Stage Theater and its world premiere at the American Repertory Theater at Harvard. Gould has performed around the world—including Uganda,

Mauritania and Japan; as well as across the U.S. For Lempicka, he teamed up with Carson Kreitzer— a playwright, lyricist, librettist and recent Guggenheim, MacDowell, and McKnight Fellow— whose plays include The Love Song of J. Robert Oppenheimer, The Slow Drag, and Lasso of Truth. In Chavkin—winner of a Tony Award, Drama Desk Award and Outer Critics Circle Award for “best director of a musical” for Hadestown—Gould and Kreitzer found the right collaborator to bring their new musical to the stage. “I really was introduced to Tamara Lempicka via this musical, and was blown away by her ferocity, her naked ambition, her sexual appetite and, more than anything, the sheer scope of her epic journey,” says Chavkin. 20 PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE

“She was a gravitational center in Paris between the Wars, which was one of the most exciting and terrifying times to be living, working and loving. And since I first met Carson Kreitzer and Matt Gould in 2014, I’ve wanted to helm this show. I still can’t read or listen to it without crying.” Tamara Lempicka’s life could have been scripted for the stage. Her affairs with both men and women were conducted in ways that were considered scandalous at the time. Her nude studies included themes of desire and seduction. In the 1920s, she was closely associated with lesbian and bisexual women in writing and artistic circles—among them Violet Trefusis, Vita SackvilleWest and Colette. She also became involved with Suzy Solidor, a nightclub singer at the famed Boîte de Nuit, whose portrait PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE 21

she later painted. As an artist, she became one of the best-known painters of the Art Deco style—a group which included Jean Dupas, Diego Rivera, Josep Maria Sert, Reginald Marsh and Rockwell Kent. But unlike these artists, who often painted large murals with crowds of subjects, she focused almost exclusively on portraits. Following the outbreak of World War II in 1939, Lempicka and her husband moved to the U.S., and she painted celebrity portraits and stills; and, in the 1960s, some abstract paintings. Her work fell out of fashion after World War II, then made a comeback in the late 1960s with the rediscovery of Art Deco. In 1974, she moved to Mexico, where she died in 1980. But the musical focuses on her time discovering herself as an artist and a sexual being in Paris. Chavkin says the timelessness of the show’s themes of sexuality and identity are “part of the reason I cry every time I listen to or read the play, much less see a runthrough. After the early production in 2018 at Williamstown, I wanted to embrace every woman, femme and non-binary human I saw, just to say ‘this is for you.’”

Audiences will see themselves reflected on stage by a woman whose struggles were of her time but also still relatable and inspiring today. “It’s an uncompromising look at a woman who contained multitudes,” Chavkin says emphatically. “This kind of complexity is usually denied to a woman. But we are fully human and contain all shades of existence, including existential dilemmas. And while this feels almost ridiculous to say, when you look at the persistence of inequity in pay, sexual harassment and other forms of bullying in the workplace; as well as the shocking statistics around domestic abuse and intimate partner violence … You see how essential it is to be telling stories where women’s voices and wholeness are centered.”
