A NOTE FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR Welcome to the world premiere of These Paper Bullets!

I’m delighted to welcome playwright Rolin Jones and director Jackson Gay back to Yale Rep. Their previous collaborations include the Pulitzer Prize nominated The Intelligent Design of Jenny Chow, seen here in 2004, and The Jammer, which was produced Off-Broadway last season.

This spring, together with songwriter Billie Joe Armstrong, the multiple Grammy Award winning Green Day frontman making his Yale Rep debut, and a world-class artistic team and company of actors (many of whom you have seen here before), Rolin and Jackson have brought forth something vibrant and new.

It is rooted in Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, and it flowers in the energy, sights, and sounds of one of the most significant moments of our own popular culture.

At its thoroughly modish, rocking-and-rolling heart, These Paper Bullets!, like Much Ado, is a play about love: the prideful “do they or don’t they?” battle of wills between Ben(edick) and Bea(trice); and the blossoming romance—threatened by scandal—between Claude (Claudio) and Higgy (Hero). It is also a riot of theatrical colors: language, music, and stagecraft that these gifted artists share with all of us.

Thank you for being here today! Whether you are a longtime Yale Rep subscriber, a first-time ticket buyer, or one of the nearly 2,000 high school students from New Haven and across the state participating in our annual WILL POWER! arts education program, your attendance plays an essential part in the creation of this new work.

I hope that you will feel free to send me an email at james.bundy@yale.edu with your thoughts about the show or any of your experiences at Yale Rep—it’s always a pleasure to hear from you.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, Meet The Quartos!

Sincerely,

James Bundy Artistic Director

SETTING London, 1964

THERE WILL BE ONE FIFTEEN-MINUTE INTERMISSION. 9

ROLIN’S RIB: Refashioning a Classic Comedy Unless you jump in the WABAC Machine that is London’s Globe Theatre, you will rarely have your Shakespeare served up to you in its original codpieces and farthingales. Most modern productions of the Bard’s plays seek to find an analogous setting that will bring both the poetry and the plot home to today’s audiences. And whether it’s because the 21st century is still largely in rompers and footy pajamas or because directors have fond and full memories of its older sister, that setting often hales from the signifier-rich 20th century. In fact, some of the more frequently performed plays seem to have found fallback correlatives which have themselves become a bit clichéd.

The totalitarian efficiency of Richard III’s evil almost routinely gets him fitted for a pair of very shiny jackboots and a black uniform. The surfeiting decadence of Measure for Measure usually lands it in the gold-laméd patchwork of Gustav Klimt’s Wiener Werkstätte. The multiracial militarism of Othello finds its groove in South-Pacific-manqué khakis. And Much Ado About Nothing wriggles into the bespoke silk, bias gowns of the 1930s Hollywood rom-com, with Beatrice and Benedick played in the urbane but familiar rhythms of William Powell and Myrna Loy or Carole Lombard, of Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn or Irene Dunne.

10

But in creating his “modish ripoff,” Rolin Jones is not just playing dress up. These Paper Bullets! is not simply these paper dolls, although the fashion industry is indisputably at the heart of Jones’s reimagining. He has cut his world from whole cloth—an act of transmogrification similar to turning Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness into Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now, or, what is more temperamentally apt, Jane Austen’s Emma into Amy

Heckerling’s Clueless. So while These Paper Bullets! owes a debt of infrastructure and some delightfully direct and fabulously fractured quotation to Much Ado About Nothing, the rest is as singular and exhilarating as the British Invasion that inspired it.

But perhaps the greatest transformation is on the women.

Granted, Shakespeare’s Beatrice wears her mantle among the A-list of all comic heroines easily, gracefully. But she is still all-(enviable)-talk; she “cannot be a man with wishing” (though Rosalind and Viola will soon find a way). Here, Bea is at the head of a design empire, a woman who finds modes of expression and an agency not available to her Elizabethan sister. Hero’s noble-if-maddening silent suffering gives way to Higgy’s studied, stylized, and well-compensated physical eloquence. In fact, These Paper Bullets! offers a quartet of powerful, funny, imperfect, noisy, resilient women who are all capable of eating hearts in the marketplace, in part because, thanks to the House of Jones, they finally have a place in the market.
