Welcome to the world premiere of The Realistic Joneses! I am delighted that Yale Rep audiences are the first to experience this remarkable new play by Will Eno, whose plays include the Pulitzer Prizenominated Thom Pain (based on nothing), Middletown, and Title and Deed, which is being presented by Signature Theatre Company in New York this spring. The Realistic Joneses continues a deeply accomplished season for director Sam Gold, who recently staged Look Back in Anger at Roundabout Theatre Company, The Big Meal at Playwrights Horizons, and Seminar on Broadway. Bringing Will Eno’s four Joneses to life are four tremendously gifted actors: Tony Award nominee Johanna Day, last seen at Yale Rep in the 2008 world premiere of David Adjmi’s The Evildoers; Glenn Fitzgerald, whose credits include new plays by Kenneth Lonergan and Jon Robin Baitz, as well as the recent TV series Dirty Sexy Money; Steppenwolf Theatre Company ensemble member Tracy Letts, himself a Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright (August: Osage County); and Parker Posey, an award-winning stage actress perhaps best known for her work in some of the most acclaimed films of the last twenty years. The Realistic Joneses was commissioned by Yale Rep and developed through the Yale Center for New Theatre, established with support from the Robina Foundation in 2008 to support the creation of new plays and musicals for the American stage. To date, the Center has underwritten the work of nearly three dozen commissioned theatre artists, as well as productions of twelve new plays and musicals at Yale Rep and other not-for-profit theatres across the country. Next season, the Center will support the world premieres of three plays commissioned by Yale Rep: David Adjmi’s Marie Antoinette, which will be our first-ever collaboration with American Repertory Theater at Harvard; Sarah Ruhl’s Dear Elizabeth, chronicling the 30-year friendship between American poets Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Lowell; and actor Bill Camp and director Robert Woodruff’s new adaptation of Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s New German Cinema masterpiece In a Year with 13 Moons. Yale Rep’s 2012–13 season also includes Richard Montoya’s new play American Night: The Ballad of Juan José, Marie Jones’s Olivier Award-winning comedy Stones in His Pockets, and a new production of William Shakespeare’s masterpiece Hamlet, featuring Academy Awardnominated actor Paul Giamatti. Subscriptions are available now. We’re also making an exciting addition to the lineup of special events next season: our new Post-Show Conversations will give audiences the opportunity to discuss the plays with each other and a member of the Yale Rep artistic staff while enjoying refreshments in our lounge immediately following each show. Post-Show Conversations will be offered six times during the run of each play next season. I look forward to hearing what you think and feel about The Realistic Joneses at james.bundy@yale.edu. Your thoughtful comments are one of the best measurements of how we’re doing, and they are greatly appreciated. Sincerely,

James Bundy Artistic Director

A Jones for Something Real: The Realistic Joneses marks a creative departure for playwright Will Eno. He is known for Thom Pain (based on nothing), a harrowing dramatic monologue that was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, and for his play Middletown, a surreal look into small town lives. In The Realistic Joneses, which was commissioned by Yale Rep, Mr. Eno has applied his sharp wit and absurdist sensibility to a more traditional form: the realistic drama. Yale Rep posed some questions to the playwright while he was in rehearsal for The Realistic Joneses. What were the impulses that led you to write The Realistic Joneses? Let’s see. Poet and former Connecticut resident Wallace Stevens once said, “The real is only the base. But, it is the base.” Former Red Sox pitcher Bill “The Spaceman” Lee once said, “Actually, I don’t know what nuthin’ means. English is not my trump card.” And we’re off! These days I’ve been thinking a lot about denial and defense. Not necessarily as negative characteristics but more just as human ones, like tool-making or the thumb. And I wonder, do all the things we can’t accept automatically move into the category of things that we deny? Is the math that cruel? And does the denial of death exact a terrible price, or is that just the cost of living? And, at some point, do we just stop pulling on any loose thread because of an ancient—or at least childhood—fear that if we start to pull it, the whole thing will come undone and reveal either an emptiness and horror beyond our most adolescent reckonings, or a glory and a joy that is just too incomprehensibly opposed to the dumb sad stuff we often think and feel? And, even though we must be by far the most talkative species, could we stand to talk a little more? These were some of the things in my head (note Bill Lee quote above) as I started to work on The Realistic Joneses. I was thinking about Chekhov, too, but not very hard. I was also thinking, and this might sound rough, “What are other people for?” In lonelier moments in my life, I’ve thought, “They’re for sitting next to.” I don’t think that anymore. With this play, a pressing influence has been regular life, just regular stuff you can 12

find almost anywhere. Stuff that, in fact, you have to go a pretty long cold way to avoid. Normal anxiety and normal people, night terrors and loneliness, and how we face things and don’t face things, and the close relatives I had a chance to watch over the years. To explore these questions and influences, where did you start? I started, no kidding, with the title. Well, no, that’s not exactly true. I started with the title, along with the desire to write a play in a generally realistic or naturalistic mode. This isn’t something I’ve done before. The idea of writing a play in this fairly normative form started to seem kind of experimental to me, just because I’ve gone about most things in my life in such a backwards, or at best, sideways way. What do you mean by the term “realistic” in the title? It struck me as an interesting word— realistic—to put in front of a name. It’s not the word “real.” It’s different from that. It’s tricky. It’s somehow like the word, which doesn’t exist: “beautiful-like.” If there were such a word, would it mean beautiful? Or not quite? Or something that sort of sits alongside the word beautiful but doesn’t really mean anything like it? Realistic gets even weirder when you put it anywhere near the word “theatre,” an art form famous for, and structurally dependent on, its fakeries and confections and illusions. It’s also interesting to me to think that anything a person can do, everything that people always do, is realistic. Certainly, I think all the characters in the play act in a way that would generally be called realistic.

Some Questions for Will Eno I also like that there’s the word “jones,” from drug-addict talk. People talking about having a jones or jonesing for some heroin or what have you. So, to have some realistic joneses seemed like a thing. When you are starting a new play, what is your writing process typically like? It saddens and kind of scares me to think that the stupid and confused and highly circular months and years I go through, every time I write a play, are the components of my “typical writing process.” But it might be the case. It’s ugly and boring. You sit in a chair, and you suffer all the blows that your own negativity and doubt keep raining on you. You sit there in the shadow of the Mighty Dead and all the great things they wrote. Even your own previous best efforts are no help, because all they stand for now is an area that’s closed off to you, because why would you want to do that again? Then, maybe you make a light snack or you throw a ball around for a while. And then you go sit down again. You’ve mentioned that The Realistic Joneses is different from your other work. How is that true? Has it changed how you approach writing the play? This is definitely different from everything else I’ve written, in a very plain way, in terms of style and form and aims. This also happens to be the least alone I’ve ever felt while writing a play. I might also be feeling the least alone I’ve ever felt in my life, right now, and I don’t know which one came first. Now that you’re working with the actors and director every day—what is your role in rehearsal room? These are happy, happy days, going to rehearsal. I love sitting there and watching and listening to these guys work. I could be a thousand miles away and everything would be just fine, but

I’m glad I’m here. I’m very much in the middle of writing and re-writing parts of the play, so that’s what I’m doing there, other than sitting around smiling and eating Twizzlers. What are you learning about the play, and yourself as a writer, through this process? My understanding of people, and I’m being very easy on myself in phrasing it that way, also seems to be changing, a little, as I work on this play. I used to feel sorry for everyone, because I was a real sad sack and was probably sort of condescending in my sadness. Now, I feel sorry for everyone, because life is so great, and we all work so hard. Such sad things happen, and I have no idea how we manage. I think we should all get a trophy. If, at the end of something, you’re a slightly better person, or, at least, have laid the groundwork to potentially become a slightly better person, then you’ve achieved something meaningful. I’m hoping that is happening, or will happen here, to me. And of course I hope that all of our trouble, cast and crew and institution, will create the conditions for that to happen to someone who sees the play.

YALE CENTER FOR NEW THEATRE YALE REPERTORY THEATRE is dedicated to the production of new plays and bold interpretations of classics and has produced well over 100 premieres—including two Pulitzer Prize winners and four other nominated finalists—by emerging and established playwrights. Eleven Yale Rep productions have advanced to Broadway, garnering more than 40 Tony Award nominations and eight Tony Awards. Yale Rep is also the recipient of the Tony Award for Outstanding Regional Theatre. Professional assignments at Yale Repertory Theatre are integral components of the program at Yale School of Drama, the nation’s leading graduate theatre training conservatory. Established in 2008, the YALE CENTER FOR NEW THEATRE is an artist-driven initiative that devotes major resources to the commissioning, development, and production of new plays and musicals at Yale Rep and across the country. A key component of the Center’s programs is its Production Enhancement Fund, which provides financial support for productions at other theatres of works commissioned and/or first produced at Yale Rep. The Center also facilitates residencies of playwrights and composers at Yale School of Drama. To date, the Yale Center for New Theatre has supported the work of nearly three dozen commissioned artists as well as the world premieres and subsequent productions of twelve new plays and musicals—including this season’s Belleville by Amy Herzog, Good Goods by Christina Anderson, and The Realistic Joneses by Will Eno; and next season’s Marie Antoinette by David Adjmi, Dear Elizabeth by Sarah Ruhl, and Bill Camp and Robert Woodruff’s new adaptation In a Year with 13 Moons by Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Dostoevsky’s Notes from Underground, adapted by Bill Camp and Robert Woodruff, was the first commissioned play supported by the Center to receive its world premiere at Yale Rep. In 2010, Notes had its West Coast premiere at La Jolla Playhouse and its New York premiere at Theatre for a New Audience, in association with the Baryshnikov Arts Center. The Center also supported the world premiere coproduction of Rinne Groff’s Compulsion at Yale Rep, Berkeley Rep, and The Public Theater; the world premiere of the Yale Rep-commissioned On the Levee by Marcus Gardley, Todd Almond, and Lear deBessonet at Lincoln Center Theater’s LCT3; and the world premiere Maggie-Kate Coleman and Anna K. Jacobs’s POP! at Yale Rep, as well as the City Theatre production of POP! this spring in Pittsburgh. For more information please visit yalerep.org/center.
