THIS PRODUCTION OF TARTUFFE OR THE IMPOSTER IS DEDICATED TO PIERRE-ANDRÉ SALIM ’09

SEPTEMBER 17, 1981 – NOVEMBER 18, 2007

The Yale Repertory Theatre and Yale School of Drama community mourns the loss of their cherished friend and colleague, Pierre-André Salim. Born in France and raised in Indonesia, Pierre graduated from the University of Singapore with a Bachelor of Computing (B. Com) degree. His love of theatre began there, and he worked as a crew member for productions in his residential hall and at the University Cultural Centre.

After graduation, he became a pivotal figure in the Singapore theatre community, active as a production and stage manager for several companies, including Checkpoint Theatre, W!LD RICE, Theatre Practice, and Toy Factory.

Pierre entered the Yale School of Drama’s Technical Design and Production program in 2006. He planned to return to Singapore upon graduation to bring his newly-gained knowledge and skills to the theatre community he loved.

To honor Pierre’s life, Yale will establish the Pierre-André Salim Memorial Scholarship, enabling students from Asia, particularly Southeast Asia, to study technical theatre and design at the School of Drama.

Donations in Pierre’s memory may be made to UNICEF 333 East 38th Street, 6th floor, New York, NY 10016 www.unicefusa.org

A NOTE FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

As I have watched this production of Tartuffe take shape, Terence’s words have been with me, as they may have been with Molière, who read Terence’s plays as a student under the tutelage of the Jesuits.

Molière clearly understood, as well as any dramatist who ever lived, the brilliance and shabbiness of the human condition and how we court disaster when we cannot tell the difference between the brilliant and the shabby. Which is often.

PHOTO BY JOHN GROO

“I am human: nothing human is foreign to me.” So said the Roman playwright Terence, a freed slave who knew extraordinary success in his youth and who disappeared without a trace at the age of twenty-five, possibly lost at sea.

The insidiousness of hypocrisy is beautifully described by the Nobel Prize winner André Gide: “The true hypocrite is the one who ceases to perceive his deception, the one who lies with sincerity.” It’s frightening—and funny—to think that our sincerity could be an outward sign of our deceit. In the centuries since Molière wrote and revised this controversial play, we have invented more and more ways to see and hear each other— without noticeably reducing the incidence of hypocrisy or its attendant pain and hilarity.

And so it is also exciting to see this production traverse an interpretive landscape of human behavior and language, history and technology. What a play says about the age in which it was first performed is always interesting to me, but I am most compelled by the varied connections that a production can make to my mind and heart today. In a world that has given us a theatrical legacy of Molière and the extraordinary contemporary poet and translator Richard Wilbur, as well as our personal legacies of family, honor, service, faith, love, greed and communication, the open questions of Tartuffe are the reasons to produce it and to see it.

Our production is the result of a happy year-long collaboration with many gifted and generous colleagues at the McCarter Theatre Center, particularly its artistic leaders, Emily Mann and Mara Isaacs. With Yale Rep, they share a passionate commitment to new writing for the theatre and to immediate interpretations of extraordinary classics.

We couldn’t have had more gracious partners in bringing the vision of Daniel Fish, his remarkable creative team, and these wonderful actors, to the Rep stage. Our thanks go to them for helping us to get here and to you for joining us at this performance—I hope you enjoy yourself!

Sincerely (really!),

SCENES FROM THE L IFE OF

Birth of Jean-Baptiste Poquelin (baptized 15 January) in Paris to a family of bourgeois tapestry-makers. At the Jesuit Collège de Clermont, he reads Terence and performs in ballets and Latin dramas.

MOLIÈRE, 1685.

After graduating, he leaves the family business and, alongside fellow actor Madeleine Béjart and eight others, founds the Illustre Théâtre. He adopts the stage name Molière and later becomes leader of the company, which mostly performs tragedies and tragicomedies written by contemporary playwrights.

Molière tries his hand at playwriting for the first time with Le Médecin Volant.

LOUIS XIV, BY PIERRE MIGNARD.

8

The Illustre Théâtre folds, and Molière is imprisoned for debt. Afterwards, he leaves Paris and joins a traveling company, of which he later becomes manager. In 1653, the company is named “the troupe of Monsieur le Prince du Conti.”

The company arrives in Paris and performs before Louis XIV and the Court. They are granted use of the Petit-Bourbon, a court theater adjacent to the Louvre where the comédie italienne (including the Italian master, Tiberio Fiorilli, later a mentor to Molière) is in residence. Molière begins to establish himself as a writer of comedies.

Molière marries Armande Béjart, who is half his age and the younger sister (or the daughter, some insinuate) of his mistress Madeleine. The company moves into the Théâtre du Palais-Royal (formerly Richelieu’s Palais-Cardinal).

SATIRICAL ENGRAVING OF “ELOMIRE” (MOLIÈRE) STUDYING ACTING WITH SCARAMOUCHE (TIBERIO FIORILLI).

Molière begins to collaborate with composer Jean Baptiste Lully on a series of comédies-ballets, performed before the King and at court festivals at Versailles. Les Plaisirs de l’Île Enchantée, a royal festival based on a theme from Ariosto’s Orlando Furioso, features the performance of an early version of Le Tartuffe (in three acts), the most controversial of all Molière’s satires. Under pressure from the Church, the King somewhat reluctantly bans further performances of the play.

Molière’s company is named “la Troupe du Roi.” He receives a royal pension of 6000 livres.

MOLIÈRE IN THE COSTUME OF SGANARELLE.

Molière puts on one performance of L’Imposteur (a five-act revised version of Le Tartuffe) before it is again banned.

The King gives permission for public performances of Tartuffe.

MOLIÈRE DIES, 1674.

Molière dies at the age of 51 of tuberculosis after falling ill while playing the role of the hypochondriac in his play, Le Malade Imaginaire.

— COMPILED BY JOSEPH P. CERMATORI, PRODUCTION DRAMATURG, FROM THE CAMBRIDGE COMPANION TO MOLIÈRE (CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS, 2006).

Director Daniel Fish’s last collaboration with Yale Repertory Theater was on David Rabe’s adaptation of Chekhov’s Black Monk (starring Sam Waterston) in 2003. Since then, he has directed productions of Shakespeare’s Hamlet (McCarter Theatre), Clifford Odets’s Rocket to the Moon (Long Wharf) and the US premiere of The Woman Before by Roland Schimmelpfennig (German Theatre Abroad). During recent rehearsals for Tartuffe in Princeton, New Jersey, production dramaturg Joseph P. Cermatori spoke with Fish about his process, his perspectives on the play, and his love-hate relationship with the seventeenth century.

DANIEL FISH. COURTESY OF CALIFORNIA

SHAKESPEARE THEATER.

JOSEPH P. CERMATORI: This is your second time directing Tartuffe in ten years—you directed an earlier production at the Court Theatre in Chicago. What brought you back to the play, and what has changed since your last encounter with the play?

DANIEL FISH: Well, I’m ten years older. The world’s a whole lot different. Also, I suppose I should start by saying that I’ve always loved working on Molière’s plays: I love their fierce comedy, their muscularity. I love how intense the people in these plays are, how strong-willed they are. That’s always been a part of it.

I’m also interested in issues of power and submission. What is it about human nature that allows us, or sometimes even pathologically requires us, to submit ourselves to a person or a force that is more powerful—be that a political leader, a spouse, a friend, a co-worker?

JPC: You’ve spoken about your “vexed relationship” with the seventeenth century.

What’s behind that?

DF: Well, most of the classical plays I’ve done of late have all been done in a way that was very contemporary, and I think that partly comes from my strong belief that the theater happens now, it’s about the world we’re living in; it cannot but be that. People say, “When is the play set?” and I think that’s kind of a silly thing, because I think plays are set now. I begin by saying, “Two really important dates are 1664 and 2007.

Okay. These words come from 1664, these people come from 2007. What happens when you put them in a room together for four weeks? And what happens when we have an audience watch that?” So, whether they’re in seventeenth-century clothes or contemporary clothes, it’s about the present moment.

10

AN INTE

I decided to engage the period in questions of history and representation. So, in a sense the period becomes to the production the way Tartuffe is to Orgon, that is, it’s seductive, an imposter. And on the one hand it’s attractive, and it draws you in and on the other hand it distracts you from what’s really going on. So I began to research—and get obsessed with—the 1660s.

JPC: And this actually inspired a trip for you and costume designer Kaye Voyce to go to France and research at the Musée Carnavalet and the Louvre. Did this trip yield any particular inspiration for the play?

DF: It yielded a lot. The Louvre is a seventeenth-century building. We found ourselves looking at the scale of the rooms, and the scale of the doorways, and how light comes into the rooms, and the role played by mirrors, and then, of course, the paintings. Frankly, we ended up looking at a lot of Dutch painting because Tartuffe is quite a domestic play in many ways, and most French painting of the period is of royalty or religious subjects; so if you want a domestic scene, you have to go look at Dutch painting.

Also, we had an interest in the culture of the museum itself, and why we go to museums, and why we look at the past, and how things are presented there…. There’s also all the stuff that’s around a museum: the cameras, and the shops, and the book stores, and the cafes, and the ticket booths: all of this is a kind of strange and fascinating way of examining and fetishizing history.

RVIEW WITH DANIEL FISH

UNMASKED Tartuffe, the play, has proved every bit as slippery as its title character since its first recorded performance at the court of Louis XIV in 1664. Promptly—some would say defensively—interpreted by prominent clerics as an attack on religion, the unfinished play was quickly banned, though Louis himself evidently took no exception to it, and Molière, in a petition to his royal patron, repeatedly insisted that his aim was to ridicule religious hypocrisy, not religious belief.

Such was the hue and cry at court, though, from vested religious interests (Louis’s mother, a devout Catholic, was reportedly among those who were not amused) that the 24-year-old monarch had little choice but to forbid further performances.

Molière lay low for a time, revising the play and reading it aloud among friends—including some well-placed ones—until he felt confident enough, in 1667, to unveil a modified version called The Imposter. The new title 12

was manifestly a strategy to defuse criticism of the play on religious grounds, and the character of Tartuffe, no longer dressed in clerical

TARTUFFE OR THE IMPOSTER, ACT IV, SCENE VII, ca. 1682.

garb, was re-named Panulphe.

No dice. The Parisian parliament shut down the play after a single performance, and the archbishop of Paris issued an order forbidding anyone “to perform under whatever title this play, to read it or hear it read, in public or in private, under pain of excommunication.”

Two of Molière’s actors bore another petition to the king, who was with the army in Flanders, but to no avail. Finally, in 1669, following a third petition, Tartuffe, or the Imposter was allowed to open in its present form. It was enthusiastically received, and it made more money than any other play Molière wrote, which must have been some balm to its beleaguered author.

If Tartuffe has found steady employment in the classical repertoire ever since (and a debt of gratitude is owed to Richard Wilbur, whose 1963 translation of the play into rhyming English verse gave American audiences a taste of what they’d been missing), it has nonetheless continued to raise fundamental questions about its subject matter, style, tone and focus. Who is Tartuffe?

Pompous poseur or charismatic schemer? Malevolent opportunist or self-loathing striver? And—just as importantly—who is Orgon, the play’s oft-overlooked center of gravity? Dupe, accomplice, enabler,

alter ego, or none of the above?

Molière’s tabloid tale of a family held hostage by the machinations of a con man is both enduringly dishy and gratifyingly malleable— diverting and disturbing by turns, it probes, with aggressive acumen, the dynamics of power.

The play’s magnetic instability has allowed for its continual rediscovery. It has provided a sturdy star vehicle for generations of performers at France’s national theater, the Comédie Française, satisfied producers in quest of high-concept farce, social satire or psychological truth, and attracted pioneering directors attuned to its pathologies. Louis Jouvet’s landmark 1950 French production, for instance, offered up an introspective, even tortured, Tartuffe in the grip of his own obsessions, while a provocative 1984 staging at Minneapolis’s Guthrie Theater, directed by Lucian Pintilie, set the play’s duplicities against a backdrop of statesponsored totalitarianism.

Roger Planchon, the visionary French director whose own mountings of the play in 1962 and 1973 recast its domestic strife in a political light, acknowledged the challenge and opportunity of tackling such a well-known piece: “When I decided to stage Tartuffe, I studied all the previous productions. That’s when I realized — JANICE PARAN, PRODUCTION DRAMATURG

NEXT AT YALE REP

the evildoers Carol and Jerry celebrate their anniversary with friends Martin and Judy. But an evening of haute cuisine and expensive wine is cut short when Martin, no longer able to repress years of frustration, lashes out at the people he loves. Soon, Martin’s pursuit of happiness wreaks havoc on the lives of this once-content quartet. With unexpected twists, David Adjmi’s ferociously funny play unleashes the horror lurking behind a quiet dinner with friends.

David Adjmi’s plays have been developed and produced in the United States and England at theatres including Lincoln Center, the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Royal Court Theatre, and Robert Redford’s Sundance Institute.
