Ethan McSweeny first joined STC as an intern in 1993. He later became my Assistant Director and went on to direct his first STC mainstage production, The Persians, in 2006. I am proud that STC has been a part of his artistic journey and delighted that he has taken on one of Shakespeare’s most controversial and emotionally rich plays to close the season. Though this is the final mainstage production of the season, I encourage you to attend the other productions and events taking place at our theatres this summer. STC will present an HD broadcast of Roundabout Theatre Company’s The Importance of Being Earnest, starring Brian Bedford in his Tony-nominated performance as Lady Bracknell, on June 28, followed by this season’s final NT Live screening, Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard on July 11. August brings Free For All, a Washington tradition that continues with a re-staging of 2008’s Julius Caesar, kicking off our celebration of 25 classical years. I hope you will join me in the theatres this summer and for next season’s exciting anniversary celebration and performances in the fall.

Early 20th-century New York, in which this production of The Merchant of Venice is set, possessed a similar duality. It was a world of opportunity, promising the American Dream to each individual, yet it possessed an underworld filled with corruption and menace. This duality, the promise of opportunity and the threat of loss of self, is the Janus-faced effect a capitalist economy has upon citizens of the world— whether it be the old world of Renaissance Venice or the new world of New York. Indeed, The Merchant of Venice, one of the earliest of Shakespeare’s plays to focus on class, fuses together old and new world problems. Ethnic and religious backgrounds, descended from medieval archetype, fix the identities of the play’s characters in place, while the play’s economic backdrop suggests the mutable modern self. Speculative financial bubbles can make or remake a citizen 6 in an instant, and the play opens with Antonio in just this situation: his fortune is out at sea and could crash upon the waves or bring an immense return. As W.H. Auden wrote, The Merchant of Venice depicts “a newborn bourgeois capitalist society, no longer feudal, not yet industrial.” The play is peopled with aesthetes and acquisitive souls, and often the currency they end up dealing in—the engine for the play’s plot—is people. The large-hearted Antonio, for example, stakes his fortune on his beloved Bassanio; the charming-but-poor Bassanio, in turn, sets his sights on the wealthy Belmont heiress Portia as his meal ticket; the Jewish moneylender Shylock ends up claiming Antonio’s body as material collateral on a loan; and the similarly over-zealous Lorenzo steals away Jessica (commodified as a rich man’s daughter) against her father Shylock’s wishes. In no other of Shakespeare’s plays is the word “love” said so frequently, yet it is unclear precisely when, or if, these characters are capable of actually falling in love. “The Venetians are fashionably frivolous,” wrote Auden, “and like all frivolous people, they’re a little sad.” This strange sadness pervaded Jazz Age New York, as the 1920s were bookended by financial crises and characterized by intense dynamism. Home to more than 7 million people, New York at the time was the most populous city in the world. Though its gaze was fixed squarely on the future, it was also a city of internecine strife and turf wars. Downtown, the Jewish and Italian ghettoes abutted each other, along with those of numerous other ethnic groups from southern and eastern Europe. Most immigrants were strivers and comers, dead set on achieving the American Dream. Prohibition gave rise to thousands of speakeasies and bootleggers in the city. It also gave a leg up to organized crime, notably in the form of gangs such as the Five-Pointers, a multi-ethnic group led by Italians, and the Eastman Gang, comprised mainly of Jews. Arnold Rothstein, the legendary Jewish gangster, gambler and racketeer, known as the inspiration for Nathan Detroit in the musical Guys and Dolls, was responsible for the fixing of the World Series in 1919, leading to the Black Sox scandal. The most famous scene in The Merchant of Venice, and one of the strangest, is the trial—really more of an arbitration—that doesn’t follow the format of any known court of law. Much as in his later legal drama, Measure for Measure, Shakespeare uses the occasion to launch into a philosophical agon over the virtues of justice in the abstract versus its consequences in material fact—and over the vexed question of the Jew in the abstract versus the Jewish person as a living, breathing, suffering human being. But the manner in which the Duke decides on his verdict is surprisingly swift. Shakespeare may have been drawing from historical precedent, since Venice was a constitutional Republic in which the Doge (or “Duke”) was vested with representational power by a senate comprised of patrician nobles and a select group of free citizens who held the political power to call their Duke to petition. Similarly, in 1920s New York, the still-powerful political machine of Tammany Hall had risen to power through similar quasi-legal arbitrations of New York’s immigrant and ethnic disputes. Either way, it seems clear in both time periods and in the play that personal stakes in capital are impossible to separate from blind justice. These historical and contextual facts may help to provide a new lens for seeing The Merchant of Venice. It is a play which remains challenging despite, or perhaps because of, its popularity through the ages. Though long overshadowed by the tragic subplot of Shylock, a character who comes to dominate the center of the play, much of The Merchant of Venice in fact lives in the realm of social comedy. Yet it is a strange kind of comedy. Its tone is complex, shifting between comic and tragic registers, and its language is also a collision of opposites, by turns Biblical and legalistic. The play’s unprecedented mixture of social content within a comic frame, which reaches beyond the specific figure of Shylock to encompass a panorama of social inquiry, explains both the play’s continuing popularity, and its controversial reputation. Drew Lichtenberg will join STC as Literary Associate in July. He has previously served as the Associate Dramaturg at Baltimore Centerstage and holds a master's degree in Dramaturgy and Dramatic Criticism from the Yale School of Drama. Special thanks to Ellen L.

In nearby Belmont, Portia and her assistant Nerissa discuss Portia’s many suitors, who must pass a test devised by Portia’s late father: they must choose from among caskets of gold, silver and lead to find the portrait of Portia that is hidden in one of them and prove themselves worthy of Portia's hand in marriage. Antonio asks the Jewish moneylender Shylock to lend him the 3,000 ducats for Bassanio, because Antonio’s assets are currently tied up in trading ventures. Although Shylock resents how Antonio has treated him in the past, he agrees to lend him the money under the stipulation that should Antonio be unable to repay the loan by the appointed day, Shylock will be entitled to a pound of his flesh. Bassanio meets up with his friends Lorenzo, Gratiano, Salerio and Solanio. Lorenzo tells them about his plan to elope with Shylock’s daughter Jessica. After Shylock leaves his house, the young men arrive in disguise to help Jessica escape (along with a box of Shylock’s money and jewels). Meanwhile, back in Belmont, two suitors pick the gold and the silver caskets, which prove to be the wrong ones. Salerio informs Solanio that one of Antonio’s ships has been wrecked. They encounter Shylock, who is enraged at the theft of his daughter and his money, and vows to have his pound of flesh. In Belmont, Bassanio chooses the lead casket, which contains Portia’s portrait. Portia gives Bassanio a ring, which she tells him he must never take off. The couple is congratulated by Gratiano and Nerissa, who reveal that they too are engaged. Jessica, Lorenzo and Salerio arrive to inform Bassanio that the shipwreck has left Antonio destitute, and that his bond to Shylock is forfeit. Portia tells Bassanio that she will pay his friend’s debt and that he should hurry to Antonio. After Bassanio leaves, Portia tells Nerissa that they will disguise themselves as men and follow him. The Duke urges Shylock to be merciful. Bassanio implores him to accept double the amount of the loan, but Shylock refuses, maintaining that he wants only the pound of flesh specified in the bond. Portia and Nerissa enter disguised as lawyer and clerk; Shylock and Antonio agree to abide by the lawyer's decision. Portia concludes that the bond is forfeit, but as Shylock prepares to collect, she points out that he is legally bound to take exactly one pound of Antonio's flesh, and not a drop of blood. Portia then accuses Shylock of conspiring against the life of a citizen. The Duke concludes that Shylock may live if he gives half of his assets to Antonio in trust, and all of his wealth to Jessica and Lorenzo upon Shylock’s death. Finally, Antonio demands that Shylock convert to Christianity. Defeated, Shylock agrees to these conditions and leaves the courtroom. Pressed by Bassanio and Antonio to accept some reward for her services, Portia asks that Bassanio give her the ring which she had given him as a love-pledge. Bassanio refuses, but after Portia departs, Antonio urges Bassanio to give the young lawyer the ring. Gratiano runs after Portia to deliver it, and also gives Nerissa his own ring. Portia and Nerissa return to Belmont. After the reunited couples greet each other, Portia and Nerissa accuse their husbands of giving their rings away to other women. The men protest, but the women quickly reveal the true identity of the lawyer who saved Antonio. 11 About the Playwright William Shakespeare 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. 13 TRIUMPHS OF ABSTRACTION Artistic Director Michael Kahn Managing Director Chris Jennings William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice jUNe 11–SePTeMBeR 4, 2011 Kandinsky and the Harmony of Silence: Painting with White Border Performances Begin June 21, 2011 Opening Night June 27, 2011 Sidney Harman Hall Director Ethan McSweeny Set Designer Andrew Lieberman Costume Designer Jennifer Moeller Lighting Designer Marcus Doshi Co-organized by The Phillips Collection and The Solomon R.

Inspired by Leopold von SacherMasoch’s notorious erotic novel, Venus in Fur is a crackling exploration of desire and control. Shakespeare Theatre Company In his 24th season with the Shakespeare Theatre Company, Artistic Director Michael Kahn, together with the Company’s artists, staff and Board of Trustees, continues to fulfill the Company’s ambition to become the country’s leading force in the presentation and preservation of classic theatre. The Shakespeare Theatre Company enjoys national and international renown as “the nation’s foremost Shakespeare company” (The Wall Street Journal) producing “a repertory of classics that no New York theatre of similar size and scale can match” (The New York Times). The Company’s noted company of classical actors regularly includes such distinguished guest artists as Jane Alexander, Elizabeth Ashley, Avery Brooks, Kathleen Chalfant, Keith Hamilton Cobb, Keir Dullea, Jonathan Hadary, Harry Hamlin, Hal Holbrook, Tom Hulce, Stacy Keach, Sabrina LeBeauf, Jean LeClerc, Judith Light, Victor Love, Marsha Mason, Kelly McGillis, Patrick Page, Jean Stapleton, Patrick Stewart, Richard Thomas, Joan van Ark, Geraint Wyn Davies and Karen Ziemba. The 2010–2011 Season features three plays by Shakespeare: All’s Well That Ends Well, Cymbeline and The Merchant of Venice. It also includes the glittering musical Candide, Harold Pinter’s Old Times and Oscar Wilde’s An Ideal Husband. We continue to enjoy the tremendous versatility of Sidney Harman Hall, which plays host to a variety of art forms. VelocityDC—our second annual showcase for dance–returned in October, along with the second season of NT Live, a series of performances broadcast in HD from London’s National Theatre. Live performances include The Great Game: Afghanistan, one of the most exciting works of theatre to come out of London in recent years, and Black Watch. Shakespeare Theatre Company Free For All Started in 1991 to engage new and diverse audiences, the Free For All has presented free Shakespeare to approximately 575,000 area residents. Its contribution to the community has been recognized with both The Washington Post Distinguished Service Award and the Public Humanities Award from the Humanities Council of Washington, D.C. The move to Sidney Harman Hall increased the Metro-accessibility of the event, prevents weather-related cancellations and allows the Shakespeare Theatre Company to maintain the artistic integrity of Free For All productions thanks to the state-of-the-art capabilities of Sidney Harman Hall. The change in venues also allows the Company to host a variety of family-friendly events to coincide with Free For All performances. For additional information on the change, please visit ShakespeareTheatre.org. Education Consistent with the Shakespeare Theatre Company’s central mission—to be the leading force in producing and preserving the highest quality classic theatre— the Education Department is positioned as both a 26 local and national resource. We strive to deepen the understanding of, appreciation of and connection to classic theatre in diverse learners of all ages through accessible programs that celebrate multiple perspectives. The education programs of STC challenge all learners to explore the ideas, emotions and principles contained in classic texts and to discover the correlations between classic theatre and our modern perceptions. We seek to fulfill this mission through strengthening our collaborations with schools and other organizations locally and nationally, engaging in scholarly dialogue with community and audience members and increasing our use of technology. Text Alive!, a curriculum enrichment program, works with public school teachers in D.C., Virginia and Maryland to make Shakespeare and his works accessible to young audiences. ShakesPEERS, a community outreach initiative, provides a nurturing environment during non-school hours for young people from the D.C. public schools to explore their creative voices through a foundation of collaboration, craftsmanship, citizenship and community. With its broad range of programs—including Classics in the Classroom, Students for Shakespeare, Windows, Master Acting Classes, Professional Internships, SHAKESPEARIENCE, Re:ACT and Theatre History Initiative—the Company’s Education Department is an innovative and creative community resource. Academy for Classical Acting Designed for working actors, midstream in their careers, the Academy for Classical Acting is a one-year immersion program with an exceptional number of contact hours between students and professional faculty. Under the guidance of Michael Kahn and with an MFA degree accredited through The George Washington University, the ACA teaches actors how to integrate the emotional, physical and imaginative life of a role with the technical skills needed to express to the fullest Shakespeare’s dramatic texts as well as many other classical playwrights. During 11 months of intensive study, ACA training includes voice, speech, acting, text, mask, Alexander Technique, movement, clown and stage combat. Since 2001, the ACA has graduated more than 100 actors who are now performing on stages in New York, Washington, D.C. and across the country. Annual Support Donors make a difference. Ticket revenue and other earned income account for just over 60 percent of the Company’s $17 million operating budget. It is only with the ongoing generous support of more than 300 corporations, foundations and public agencies—along with more than 3,000 individuals—that the Company can fulfill its mission as the nation’s leading force in producing and preserving classical theatre. Individual Support Section Title Those Who Are Making the Financial Difference More than 3,000 individuals, families, businesses, foundations and government agencies contribute to the Annual Fund. Their generosity provides 40 percent of our operating budget. The Board of Trustees, artists and staff gratefully acknowledge the special relationship the Shakespeare Theatre Company donor has with the Company. Because of our donors’ commitment to the beauty of our language and the common good of our community, magic happens on our stage. They make possible what is cherished by our 180,000 audience members.
