NOTES
Yale School of Drama presents
“Leave me alone and let me go to hell by my own route.” –Calamity Jane, shortly before her death in Deadwood, South Dakota, in 1903
From When I Was a Young Girl by Nina Simone When I was a young girl I used to see pleasure When I was a young girl I used to drink ale Right out of the ale house and into the jail house Right out of the bar room and down to my grave Come mama come papa sit you beside me Come mama come papa and pity my case My poor heart is aching my heart it is breaking My body salve-aided and I’m bound to die Go send for the preacher to come and pray for me Go send for the doctor to heal up my wounds My poor heart is aching my heart it is breaking My body salve-aided and hell is my home I want three young ladies to bear up my coffin I want three young ladies to take me along I want them to carry a bunch of wild roses To put on my body as I pass along One morning one morning in May One morning one morning in May I spy this young lady all clad in white linen All clad in white linen cold as a clay
Poem from The collected Works of Billy the Kid by Michael Ondaatje You know hunters Are the gentlest Anywhere in the world They halt caterpillars From path dangers Lift a drowning moth from a bowl Remarkable in peace In the same way assassins Come to chaos neutral
2011–12 season
The Studio Series productions are designed to be learning experiences that complement classroom work, providing a medium for students at Yale School of Drama to combine their individual talents and energies toward the staging of collaboratively created works. Your attendance meaningfully completes that process.
