Dear Friend,

EXCLUSIVE MEDIA SPONSOR:

I hope you will enjoy one of Shakespeare’s most politically charged pieces, uniquely suited to Washington, D.C., audiences. Julius Caesar reaches into the heart of Roman history to explore not only the consequences of conspiracy but also the complications of political ambition. David Muse’s original 2008 production was called “majestic” by the Washington Times and hailed as “electrifying” by DC Theatre Review. I am pleased to make this wonderful production available to the Washington community for free, with the generous support of sponsors like Target and donors like the Friends of Free For All. There could be no greater gift on the eve of this anniversary season than to celebrate its opening with you—friends new and old. I hope you will return during the 2011-2012 Season to experience some of the exciting events we have in store. This season is sure to bring many memorable moments to STC stages, from the classic works of Regnard, O’Neill and Goldoni to Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, The Two Gentlemen of Verona and The Merry Wives of Windsor. With special “Bard’s Broadway” performances of The Boys from Syracuse and Two Gentlemen of Verona (a rock opera), we celebrate the indelible influence of Shakespeare on the musical theatre community. In addition to our mainstage productions this year, please join us for the opening engagement of the musical FELA! in September and October, John Hurt’s performance in Samuel Beckett's Krapp’s Last Tape and the imaginative puppetry of Basil Twist’s Petrushka. I hope to see you in our audiences later this season. Best always,

Michael Kahn Artistic Director, Shakespeare Theatre Company

THE

PAST

For William Shakespeare, setting five of his plays in the Roman Empire was good business. English children read the works of the great Roman writers as the foundation of their classical education, a new translation of the historian Plutarch’s biography of the great Romans sold well and plays about Rome filled theatres. In fact, the name of "Julius Caesar" appears in 17 different plays by Shakespeare, including his plays about English history. Clearly, Shakespeare’s England (itself a burgeoning empire in the 1590s) saw itself as the intellectual and historical heir to Rome. “To Shakespeare’s original audiences,” writes the scholar Marjorie Garber, “a play about ancient Rome was not an escapist document about a faraway world, but a powerful lesson in ethics and statecraft. The Elizabethan view of history suggested that the Romans provided models of conduct, that history taught, and that its lessons could—and should—be learned.”

Rome was the specter that haunted and illuminated Shakespeare’s England. If Roman history was Shakespeare’s touchstone for understanding contemporary history, it should come as no surprise that he chose to use it as the subject for his greatest Roman plays. In his cycle of Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra, Shakespeare explores the ways in which successful leaders employ and reshape history to their advantage, and unsuccessful leaders fail to tame or escape history. The characters in these plays practice or fatally forget George Orwell’s famous axiom: “Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past.” The real Julius Caesar all but invented the art of consolidating political power by controlling historical narrative. When he served as a general in Gaul, he delivered his reports to the Senate in the form of a literary drama with himself as the hero. He realized that history

is controlled by those who write it, and so became his own historian and playwright. He was famously vain about his appearance and held almost monthly triumphs, symbolic public processions that celebrate a military victories. When he returned to Rome after winning a bruising civil war, he made sure that his name was always followed by the words “Father of his Country.” By February of the year 44 BCE, the war-scarred Senate and people were all too happy to name him dictator for life, the end result of his lifetime of self-mythologizing. In Shakespeare’s play, Caesar carefully cultivates his image in order to dominate Rome. He refers to himself in public as “Caesar,” as though speaking of someone else. He punishes the tribunes, Murellus and Flavius, not for attacking him but for defacing his “images.” And he calls himself “constant as the Northern Star,” all but placing himself in the heavens. His rival Brutus, by contrast, rises against Caesar because he feels subject to the force of history. The ideal of the Republic, established when Brutus’ ancestor Lucius Junius Brutus threw the king out of Rome, puts the assassin’s knife in Brutus’s hand as surely as his co-conspirators do. But because Caesar established his historical image so perfectly in life, no assassin can truly kill him. Antony is able to use Caesar’s image as “Father of his Country” to turn the people against Brutus and drive him from Rome. When Caesar’s ghost finally appears to Brutus before his battle for Rome, he does so almost as the spirit of history, dragging Brutus down. As his friends fall around him and he faces his own death, Brutus can only marvel, “O Julius Caesar, thou art mighty yet.”

I

Ironically, the conspirators murdered the tyrant but failed to prevent tyranny. The ghosts of history, powerful though they may be, could not rule Rome. Caesar’s teenaged great-nephew and heir Octavius deftly stepped into the void created by the assassination, and began to shape the future by controlling the past. First, he officially changed his name to Julius Caesar, immediately winning the loyalty of both the people and Caesar’s military legions on the historical strength of the name alone. And when he split with his former ally Antony, Octavius embarked on a systematic

“The past is never dead.” propaganda campaign to depict Antony as an enemy of Rome. After defeating Antony and Cleopatra in battle, he finished the job his great-uncle Caesar had begun; the Senate granted him dictatorial powers, and the Roman Empire was founded. Caesar could finally rest, and Octavius received the new name Augustus (“the lofty one”). Brutus’ beloved Republic was no more, thanks to a leader who could fashion his own image and write his own history. In the end, Octavius won power more through public relations than through warfare. “The past is never dead,” wrote William Faulkner in his novel Requiem for a Nun. “It’s not even past.” The past lived on in the Elizabethan present through the staging of Roman stories for English audiences and continues to live on in the staging of Shakespeare’s Roman stories in a future he could only imagine. The lesson of history and its uses feels as current today as it did in Caesar’s and in Shakespeare’s time. Akiva Fox

Synopsis The great Roman general Julius Caesar has defeated his rival Pompey in battle, and the people cheer his return to Rome in triumph. As Caesar enjoys the festivities, a soothsayer interrupts, warning Caesar to “beware the Ides of March.”

Cassius and Brutus, two leading senators, watch the proceedings with trepidation. Cassius tests the principled Brutus’ opposition to Caesar by telling him that Caesar has ambitions to be named king. They hear loud cheers, and the senator Caska informs them that Caesar’s right-hand man Mark Antony offered Caesar a crown three times, and each time Caesar refused it. Unsettled, Brutus tells Cassius to speak with him again the next day. Later, as a fiery storm rages over Rome, Caska reports strange omens. Cassius claims that they are signs that Caesar will be named king, and declares his intentions to resist. Caska decides to join Cassius in opposing Caesar. To bring Brutus over to their cause, Cassius forges letters hinting at Caesar’s ambition, and arranges for them to be dropped where Brutus will find them. In the middle of the night, six senators arrive at Brutus’ house to convince him to join their plot against Caesar. They all agree to assassinate Caesar the following day—the Ides of March. Cassius wants to kill Antony as well, but Brutus refuses. After the conspirators depart, Brutus’s wife Portia comes to him, convinced that he is keeping a secret from her. Moved by her devotion, he almost reveals the conspiracy to her. The next morning, Caesar’s wife Calpurnia tries to convince him to stay at home, terrified by dreams that foretell his death. Although Caesar scoffs at his wife’s superstitious fears, he finally agrees stay home and to send Antony to the Senate in his place. But the conspirators arrive and manage to convince Caesar to go to the Senate. When they arrive at the Senate house, the conspirators assassinate Caesar. Before they can leave to proclaim that they have liberated Rome, Antony returns, asking only to speak at Caesar’s funeral; despite Cassius’ protestations, Brutus agrees. Brutus defends Caesar’s killing to the people in the Forum. But Antony, arriving with Caesar’s body, extols Caesar’s virtues. Whipped into a frenzy by Antony’s words, the people race off to get revenge on Caesar’s murderers. Antony receives word that Caesar’s grand-nephew and heir Octavius has come to Rome, and that Brutus and Cassius have fled the growing mob.

Antony joins with Octavius and Caesar’s ally Lepidus to eliminate their enemies and rule Rome, but immediately informs Octavius of his intentions to cut off Lepidus after he has served his usefulness. As Brutus and Cassius prepare for war against Antony and Octavius, they fall out bitterly over money. Brutus apologizes for his angry mood, revealing that his wife Portia has killed herself. That night, the ghost of Caesar appears to Brutus and promises that they will meet again in battle. The two armies meet on the plains of Philippi. When the battle turns against Cassius’ side, he kills himself in despair. Brutus manages to overpower Octavius for a while, but falters when Antony joins the fight against him. Surrounded, he too falls on his sword. Having won, Antony and Octavius pay tribute to the well-intentioned Brutus.

No man’s life has been the subject of more speculation than William Shakespeare’s. While Shakespearean scholars have dedicated their lives to the search for evidence, the truth is that no one really knows what the truth is. Scholars agree that a William Shakespeare was baptized at Stratfordupon-Avon on April 26, 1564. Tradition holds that he was born three days earlier, on April 23—the same date on which, 52 years later, he was recorded to have died. On November 27, 1582, a marriage license was granted to 18-year-old William and 26-year-old Anne Hathaway. A daughter, Susanna, was born to the couple six months later. We know that twins, Hamnet and Judith, were born soon after and were baptized. What we do not know is how the young Shakespeare came to travel to London and how he first came to the stage. Whatever the truth may be, it is clear that in the years between 1582 and 1592 someone calling himself William Shakespeare became involved in the London theatre scene and was a principal actor with one of several repertory companies. By 1592 Shakespeare had become prominent enough as a playwright to engender professional jealousy. A rival playwright, Robert Greene, wrote snidely of an “upstart crow, beautified with our feathers, that with his tiger’s heart wrapped in a player’s hide supposes he is as well able to bombast out a blank verse as the best of you, and being an absolute Johannes-factotum is in his own conceit the only Shakescene in a country.” In the years between 1591 and 1593, the theatres of London were temporarily shut down due to an outbreak of plague; Shakespeare turned his considerable talents to sonnet writing and acquired a patron, the young Lord Southampton, to whom two of his poems, Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece, are dedicated. In 1594 Shakespeare was listed as a stockholder in the Lord Chamberlain’s Men; he was a member of this company for the rest of his career, which lasted until approximately 1611. When James I came to the throne in 1603, he issued a royal license to Shakespeare and his fellow players, inviting them to call themselves The King’s Men. The King’s Men leased the Blackfriar’s Theatre in London in 1608. This theatre, which had artificial lighting and was probably heated, served as their winter playhouse. The famous Globe Theatre was their summer performance space. In the years since Shakespeare’s death, he had fallen to the depths of obscurity only to be resurrected as the greatest writer of English literature and drama. In the 1800s, his plays were so popular that many refused to believe that an actor from Stratford had written them. To this day some believe that Sir Francis Bacon was the real author of the plays; others argue that Edward DeVere, the Earl of Oxford, was the man. Still others contend that Sir Walter Raleigh or Christopher Marlowe penned the lines attributed to Shakespeare. Whether the plays were written by Shakespeare the man or Shakespeare the myth, it is clear that no other playwright has made such a significant and lasting contribution to the English language.

Shakespeare Theatre Company Celebrating 25 Classical Years As the 2011-2012 Season begins, the Shakespeare Theatre Company is set to celebrate! Not only is it the 25th year of Michael Kahn’s leadership, vision and artistic direction but, over the past quarter of a century, it has become one of the nation’s leading theatre companies. Today, STC is synonymous with artistic excellence and making classical theatre more accessible.

An Unwavering Commitment to Artistic Excellence STC honors the language of classic playwrights while presenting their work through a 21st-century lens with productions that blend classical traditions and modern originality. Hallmarks include exquisite sets, elegant costumes, leading classical actors and above all, an uncompromising dedication to quality.

During the past 25 years, STC has: • Produced and hosted nearly 150 productions • Entertained more than 2.5 million audience members • Attracted some of the world’s greatest talent, including Dame Helen Mirren, Sir Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, Marsha Mason and Avery Brooks • Presented free Shakespeare to more than 600,000 residents through Free For All, a beloved annual tradition • Produced almost the entire Shakespearean canon, including rarely-produced classics such as Cymbeline and Pericles • Hosted award-winning international performances, including Phèdre, The Great Game: Afghanistan and Black Watch • Uncovered and produced nine “new” classical works, including David Ives’ hit adaptation of The Liar, through the ReDiscovery series • Welcomed almost 11,500 guests to Happenings at the Harman, which showcases new and emerging artists in the community • Received more Helen Hayes Awards for producing plays than any other theatre • Garnered accolades including the Washington Post Distinguished Service Award, the Humanities Council of Washington, D.C.’s Public Humanities Award and the Mayor’s Arts Award • Engaged more than 8,000 students and educators a year through its arts education program

in support of the Shakespeare Theatre Company Free For All

Creating the Next Generation of Artists and Audiences STC is a leader in arts education, with a series of initiatives that teach and excite learners of all ages. Meaningful, fun learning opportunities are available for elementary and high school students and educators, and Master Acting Classes are held throughout the year. Michael Kahn leads the Academy for Classical Acting, a one-year master’s program at The George Washington University. Beyond the classroom, educational opportunities like creative conversations are available to all in the community.

LEAD SPONSOR

Supporting the Community STC has helped to revitalize both the Penn Quarter and Capitol Hill neighborhoods and drive an artistic renaissance in Washington, D.C. Today, programs such as Free For All and Happenings at the Harman give residents and visitors alike the opportunity to enjoy low cost—or even free—performances. Such efforts are critical in exposing diverse audiences to the performing arts, creating engagement and building new generations of performing art enthusiasts and supporters.

Play a Part STC is profoundly grateful for the support of those who are passionately committed to classical theatre. In our 25-year history, you have allowed us to reach out and expand boundaries, to inform and inspire the community, and to challenge our audiences to think critically and creatively. We hope that you will reflect on the accomplishments of our first 25 years, and look forward to the role you will play in the next 25. Learn more at ShakespeareTheatre.org/support or call 202.547.1122, option 7.

What Lies Ahead Even as it celebrates the past 25 years, STC’s focus is squarely on the future: expanding its repertoire; continuing to produce the Shakespearean canon as well as the many great, relevant classics yet to be explored; building on current education programs in an effort to reach all public schools in Washington, D.C.; and educating, nurturing and growing the next generation of actors, directors and all those who appreciate theatre. We hope you’ll join us!

SHAKESPEARE: CAESAR OF PLAYWRIGHTS? A CONVERSATION WITH STEVE HILLS, PRESIDENT AND GENERAL MANAGER, THE WASHINGTON POST Steve Hills has served as president and general manager of The Washington Post since September 2002. He began his career at The Post as a business intern in 1986. Hills has nearly 30 years of experience in media, holding a number of different roles ranging from reporter to sales representative to executive. He and his wife Joslyn are devoted fans of the arts. They reside in Chevy Chase, Maryland with their two children. Craig Wallace as Caius Ligarius, Scott Parkinson as Caius Cassius, Tom Hammond as Brutus and Kurt Rhoads as Ventidius in the 2008 cast of Julius Caesar by Carol Rosegg.

Q. We’ve been told that you are a huge fan of Shakespeare. When did you first become passionate about his work? I went on a field trip to see As You Like It in San Francisco when I was in eighth grade. I was struck by Shakespeare's language and his understanding of the human condition in all its variety. Later, I studied him in high school and in college, and found that my appreciation of his work grew with greater exposure. Most recently, I took my 16-year-old daughter Annie to see the Shakespeare Theatre Company’s The Merchant of Venice. I wanted to introduce her to his plays at an early age, just as I had been introduced.

Q. This year’s Free For All, Julius Caesar, exemplifies the dangers of power and idealism. How do you think Shakespeare’s Roman tragedy holds up in a modern political arena? Caesar teaches that reacting to overreaches of power by overreaching in the opposite direction does not work. Creating effective confrontation and finding resolution is always the harder row to hoe, but it is more productive in the end.

Q. Do you have a favorite play? I can't pick just one. I love King Lear as a written work, and Hamlet, Macbeth, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Julius Caesar, The Tempest and Henry IV, Part I as plays. Henry IV has always held my interest in the way it explores Henry’s journey from young man to king. I love Shakespeare’s exploration of the trajectory of his growth as a man and monarch, including necessary sacrifices and the isolation that often comes with power. Q. It sounds like you pay special attention to the human elements of Shakespeare’s storytelling. Though his plays, like Julius Caesar, are often grounded in historical periods, do they resonate for you on a day-to-day basis? Yes—an example from The Tempest is the character of Ferdinand who is imprisoned, yet blissful and in love. I try to always remember Ferdinand’s lesson that—to some degree—happiness has far more to do with how we react to our situation than with the situation itself. I also draw guidance from Shakespeare in my daily life as a business leader. Many of his plays, King Lear in particular, demonstrate the fleeting nature of power and fame and the need to put oneself in the shoes of those who are less fortunate.

26

For me, Julius Caesar is not just a play about politics, but also a play that celebrates language at its finest. In high school, I learned (and think I may still know—but don't test me) Mark Antony's funeral oration, one of the great speeches of all time. The slow twists and turns of the speech and the poetry of it are the work of a genius. I love to see it performed. Q. The Washington Post has supported and partnered with Free For All productions for many years now. What draws you to contribute to this program? At The Post, we try to bring information and fun to the community with the hope of making people more informed and doing our small part to improve the local community. The arts in general align with this mission, as does the Free For All by exposing new audiences to Shakespeare. We are proud of our long-term relationship with the Shakespeare Theatre Company for this beloved summer event and we look forward to continuing this relationship for years to come. The Washington Post has been a sponsor of the Free For All since it began at Carter Barron Amphitheatre in 1991.
