Welcome Great stories don’t require everyone in the audience to have had the same personal experience in order to appreciate the story being told. When I saw this play on Broadway, I wasn’t a father. But thanks to Yasmina Reza’s marvelous ability to write plays with uncommon insight and appeal, I was able to join with all the parents in the audience and go on a ride of unexpected hilarity. I walked out of the theatre knowing we’d produce this play at Theatre Calgary.

Now that I am a father I am more deeply aware of the brilliance and urgency of this story. In this politically correct world we have created for ourselves, there is little room for the freedom of children to just be children. Certainly as parents we are also challenged to be outstanding in the profession of parenthood. It’s become a competitive game where we are in a fight to raise perfect families with perfect children. Outrageous, but true.

Many months ago at the day-home my daughter attends— she’s only three—I overheard a nasty comment by a mother about my child’s behavior that day. I saw the look on her face: that judgment from hell that I was not fit to be standing there pushing that stroller. To this very day, I give that woman the evil eye.

How will I be when my child goes to school?

Help.

Oh, and welcome.

god of carnage DIRECTOR'S NOTES I admit to having been pretty out of the loop when my colleagues began to take notice of a Broadway hit called God of Carnage, by Yasmina Reza. It took me a while to catch up to what all the fuss was about. I frequently heard it described as a real “actor’s piece.” It’s not about huge moving sets, or sweeping soundscapes, or mesmerizing lighting effects; the success of the play rests with the interpretation of the actors.

When Dennis Garnhum plunked Reza’s script in front of me, I was excited at the prospect of undertaking an acting role, having heard what a feast it would be to dig into. and then he said, “I don’t want you to be in it.” It took a moment or two to realize he was inviting me to direct this production and once I regained consciousness, I blubbered that this opportunity would be a dream realized. and it has been an absolute dream to work with these actors and stage managers, this designer, this theatre and to do it all for this audience.

God of Carnage tells the story of two sets of parents who meet to discuss a fight between their children, but whose attempts to remain civil crumble under the strain of conflicting parenting styles, marital issues, and professional priorities until finally they are reduced to behaving like children themselves. Of her own writing, Reza says, “What motivates me most is writing about people who are well brought up and yet, underneath that veneer, they break down. Their nerves break down. It's when you hold yourself well until you just can't any more, until your instinct takes over." she holds up a mirror to what passes for polite society, with all its self-deceptions and absurdities, and with the deft hand of a born satirist she tears the pretense away and detours these characters into the worst day of their lives.

I hope it will be one of the best nights of your lives at the theatre, and I hope you thoroughly enjoy what all the fuss was about.

WHEN INSTINCT TAKES OVER: THE THEATRE OF YASMINA REZA

gym. I like to work with the language. I like to find the best ways of expressing what the author wanted to say.”

French playwright Yasmina Reza has described her plays as “theatre of nerves.” In a 2012 interview with the Guardian, she explained: “What motivates me most is writing about people who are well brought up and yet, underneath that veneer, they break down. Their nerves break down. It’s when you hold yourself well until you just can’t any more, until your instinct takes over. It’s physiological.”

Reza’s spark of inspiration for God of Carnage came from the real-life experience of one of her son’s classmates, who broke a tooth in a playground fight with another boy. The victim’s mother complained to Reza that the other boy’s parents hadn’t even called to apologize. “I immediately thought that there was an interesting theme there,” Reza told the Los Angeles Times. That absent apology gave her a keen starting point. If the fraught conversation had taken place, how long could the veneer of politesse have been maintained?

The caustic and often hilarious social commentary of Reza’s plays has led to international success. ‘Art’, written in 1994 and translated two years later, won an unprecedented hat-trick of awards: the Molière in Paris, the Olivier in london, and the Tony in New York. That play pits three friends against each other as they debate the merits of an expensive—and entirely white— painting that one of them has bought. God of Carnage, written in 2006 and translated two years later, won her the Olivier and the Tony again.

When God of Carnage won the 2009 Tony award for Best Play, Reza shared the award with her “dearest Christopher”— Christopher Hampton, the english translator of most of her plays. Hampton is a tremendously successful writer in his own right, and the author of several plays including his stage adaptation of Les Liaisons Dangereuses, which later became the Oscar-winning screenplay for the film Dangerous Liaisons. aside from Reza, Hampton has also translated esteemed playwrights such as Molière and Chekhov. “Translation,” he told France magazine, “uses different muscles than those you use when writing your own plays. I sometimes say it’s like going to the

Hampton first translated both ‘Art’ and God of Carnage into British english for the london stage and then, with the help of the original Broadway casts, created versions in North american vernacular. For God of Carnage, he went one step further, transporting the action of the play from Paris to Brooklyn.

During the first days of rehearsal in New York, he explained to France magazine, “we put in all the local references, so the flower shop at Mouton-Duvernet becomes a Korean deli.

Instead of Parc Montsouris, we have Brooklyn’s Cobble Hill Park and Walt Whitman Park. Instead of the Métro, there is the el, and so on.” The core of Reza’s play translates easily to other locations—whether in Paris or london, New York or Calgary, we recognize the ridiculous spectacle of adults behaving badly.

THE ART OF TRANSLATION Yasmina Reza on Christopher Hampton (from the Guardian): “I don’t trust him at all! No, I adore him, he’s a great friend, but I’m not blindly trusting. I remember the first time we met, he had translated ‘Art’ into english and I called him up and said, ‘I received your first draft.’ He said, ‘What do you mean, my first draft? It’s the play. It’s the translation. It’s not a draft.’ I said, ‘Yes it is. There’s work to be done.’ up to that point, Christopher had only translated dead people. This was the first time he’d had someone alive, on the phone to him. We reworked and reworked it and I know I was annoying him and he was saying to people, ‘she’s giving me such a hard time and she barely speaks english!’ Now my english is much better.”

Christopher Hampton on Yasmina Reza (from the Los Angeles Times): “Yasmina is very exacting. With ‘Art’, she didn’t really speak english. But she speaks it now. I told her that she taught herself english to make my life a misery!”

arrange the apples and pears in a greased 9-inch glass baking dish or pie plate. Pour the batter over the fruit. Bake for 1 hour, or until the clafouti is lightly browned and a fork plunged into its centre comes out clean. serve warm or at room temperature.

WHO’S WHO ON THE COFFEE TABLE? Francis Bacon (1909 – 1992), an Irish painter, is known for his disturbing and subversive images of terror. For example, his “screaming Pope” paintings distort and disfigure a famous Renaissance portrait of Pope Innocent x.

CLAFOUTI À LA CARNAGE Clafouti, a flan-like dessert made from fresh fruit baked in sweet batter, hails from the Limousin region of southwest France. It is traditionally made with ripe dark cherries—pits left in. But there are also variations using seasonal fruits such as apples, pears, plums, and berries.

This recipe for Veronica’s apple and pear clafouti has been adapted from Julia Child’s Mastering the art of French Cooking to match the dish described in God of Carnage.

1 crisp apple, peeled, cored, and cut into very thin slices (1/8 inch thick) 1 ripe pear, peeled, cored, and cut into thicker slices (1/4- to 1/2-inch thick) 1/4 cup cognac or sweet white wine 1/3 cup sugar 1/4 tsp cinnamon 1 cup milk 1/3 cup sugar 3 eggs 1 Tb vanilla extract 1/8 tsp salt 1/2 cup sifted flour 1/4 cup fine gingerbread or ginger snap crumbs Combine the cognac or wine, 1/3 cup sugar, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. add the apples and pears and let stand for 1 hour.

Remove the fruit with a slotted spoon and set aside. Reserve the resulting liquid.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place the remaining ingredients in a blender or food processor. add the liquid from the mixing bowl. Blend at top speed for 1 minute until the mixture forms a smooth batter. If you have no blender, mix ingredients thoroughly with a wooden spoon, then strain the batter through a sieve.

Oscar Kokoschka (1886 – 1980), an austrian painter and writer, was one of the foremost expressionists of the 20th century. His portraits are famed for laying bare the inner lives of their subjects. a multi-talented artist, Kokoschka wrote poems, plays, and other literature, and also designed sets for theatre and opera.

Tsuguharu Foujita (1886 – 1968), a Japanese painter and printmaker, lived in Paris for many years and was a friend of artists such as Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse. Foujita worked with thin lines on porcelain-like white backgrounds, a delicate style influenced by Japanese traditions. He is best known for his paintings of nude women and cats.

You never know where the conversation will lead.

Talkbacks are approximately 15 - 20 minutes in duration.

COMEDY OF MANNERS God of Carnage has been frequently described as a “comedy of manners without the manners.” Comedy of manners is a genre of play that satirizes the conduct and affectations of a particular social class or group. Typically, these plays ridicule the pretensions of characters (usually upper or middle class), and highlight their inability to live up to their own social standards. In so doing, comedies of this type poke fun at the manners and behaviour of the audience itself.

The origins of this genre are found in the writings of the ancient Greek playwright Menander (c. 342-291 BC), who became known for his portrayal of realistic characters in comedic situations. It was during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries that the comedy of manners truly flourished. French playwright Molière took aim at the hypocrisy of society in such plays as The School for Wives, The Misanthrope and Tartuffe. In england, the follies and foibles of the aristocracy were lampooned in popular Restoration comedies such as William Wycherley’s The Country Wife, William Congreve’s The Way of the World and later 18th century plays She Stoops to Conquer, by Oliver Goldsmith, and The School for Scandal, by Richard Brinsley sheridan.

The techniques of this genre continued into the late 19th and early 20th century with playwrights such as Oscar Wilde (The Importance of Being Earnest), Noël Coward (Hay Fever) and George Bernard shaw (Pygmalion). In fact, throughout the last century, the comedy of manners tradition has continued on our stages and expanded to our television sets and our movie theatres. One need only look at re-runs of Seinfeld or Friends to see the silliness of our manners, our social standards and our contemporary society reflected back at us, confirming the old adage, “the more things change, the more they stay the same.”

HEALTHY COMMUNITIES YMCA Calgary encourages personal growth leading to well-rounded, healthy living.

“When you are a part of YMCA, you are coming together with a diverse community of people committed to helping children, youth and families embrace fun, healthy habits that become a lifelong practice,” says YMCA Calgary President and CEO Helene Weir.

Each year thousands of Calgarians are involved at YMCA through a variety of programs and services. The five health and wellness locations—Crowfoot, Eau Claire, Saddletowne, Shawnessy and YMCA in South Health Campus—offer programs and services that help people of all ages and abilities grow in spirit, mind and body.

YMCA Calgary has operated Camp Chief Hector YMCA—a camping and outdoor education branch— for more than 80-years. Camp Chief Hector YMCA programs emphasize community and values-based education, participation, fair play, environmental stewardship, team spirit and leadership skills. Located 40-minutes west of Calgary, Camp Chief Hector YMCA offers programs for everyone through children and

youth summer camps, outdoor schools, weekend programs for adults and families, custom programs and facility rentals.

YMCA Calgary is deeply involved in the community, offering critical hours programming to children and youth—including Aboriginal, immigrant, literacy, ESL and more. Leadership programs help young people develop good character traits, learn the value of community service, build healthy living habits and gain vital leadership skills.

Programs and facilities are open to everyone; financial assistance is available. “One in four kids and youth at YMCA Calgary receive financial assistance,” Weir says.

“Kids from all backgrounds and abilities are able to participate so they feel a sense of belonging, grow and thrive in a supportive environment and eventually become the confident and positive leaders needed for stronger communities.”

Operations for Alberta with Canada Safeway.

Q & A WITH DAVE & DEBBIE RODYCH

Q: Do you remember the first show you adopted?

A: West Side Story - that was the season [2004/05] the Adopt-a-Play program began. We thought Adopt-a-Play was a really neat idea. We’ve always donated, since we first became subscribers, but when the Adopt-a-Play program came along, we knew it was something we had to be a part of.

Be a Part of the Action Adopt-a-Play

Q: Why would you encourage others to become a Theatre Calgary Adopt-a-Play donor?

TODAY!

A

: We would encourage any of the readers here to get involved with the theatre in any way, shape, or form. We believe that when you adopt a play, there is pride of ownership.

When you adopt a play, you feel like it’s yours and it seems to create a different viewing experience. You might feel more inclined to bring others - family or friends - and it’s just an all-around more personal experience.

Are we presenting one of your favourite shows this year?

Adopting a play is a unique way to commemorate a play that’s near and dear to your heart. Adopt one for yourself, one for a friend, or perhaps one for that someone who has everything but their very own play.

I [Debbie] am an active volunteer in the Calgary community with a number of different organizations.

other couples; we all became season ticket holders at the same time. Theatre Calgary is a nice evening out. We’ve always had an interest and involvement with theatre - MTC in Winnipeg, and in Regina when we lived there.

I [Debbie] used to volunteer for MTC. We just have a love for live theatre!

Q: How important do you think Theatre Calgary is to the Calgary community (including yourselves)?

A: We believe the arts in general are vital to the community. We’ve been involved in a variety of local arts initiatives; we believe it’s the fabric of the community. We think everyone should be exposed to different forms of art, in order to be a well-rounded individual.

Q: What is the importance or significance of the Adopt-a-Play program for you?

A: We were donors already, and Adopt-a-Play

A: Anyone and everyone who comes to the

for Theatre Calgary, is we know how expensive it is to put on a production. We think Theatre Calgary is doing a great job with the play selections! We know that even a full house doesn’t cover all the bills. We want arts and theatre to survive, but not just any theatre, good theatre, and that’s what Theatre Calgary provides - really good theatre.

Theatre Calgary has the variety and quality of theatre we can appreciate. We know the price of the ticket does not cover all [only 60%] of what it takes to make it happen.

Showing your support outside of the ticket cost is vital to the theatre and ensures that they can maintain the high quality of shows they offer.

Q: Is there anything else you want to share about Theatre Calgary or the Adopt-a-Play program?

A: The quality and variety in the last few

seasons has been amazing; it’s exciting to go to Theatre Calgary. We judge the quality of the play by how long we talk about it on the drive home. These days the plays are so good, it’s getting harder to choose which play to adopt!

just seemed like a more fun way of donating.

We included the whole family for the adopt selections. Over the years, every family member has had the opportunity to pick a play. It’s a fun family thing for us to do. It also got the kids going to the theatre; once they picked a play, they were excited to see the show.
