WELCOME
from the producing Artistic Director
Terrence J. Nolen
One of the things that I love about choosing plays for the Arden is
that our mission allows us to produce a great variety of work.
Contemporary musicals such as Next to Normal; classic stories such as
Cyrano; new plays such as Clybourne Park and the American classic that
inspired it, A Raisin in the Sun. In our 24-plus years, we’ve produced an
extraordinary group of writers, some to whom we’ve returned more
than once: seven plays by Michael Hollinger; three by Michael Ogborn;
two each by Arthur Miller, Tom Stoppard, and August Wilson; nine
Shakespeares; ten Sondheims. With this production of Endgame, I am
thrilled to bring the work of Samuel Beckett to our stage for the first
time.
Samuel Beckett was a remarkable figure in world drama: an Irishman who lived in Paris,
often writing in French and then translating his plays into English; a friend and confidant
of James Joyce who also served as part of the French Resistance during World War
II. As a dramatist, Beckett was a visionary and a revolutionary, transforming how stories
could be told onstage. He was also famously private, determined to let his work speak
for itself. In response to the persistent question, “What does it mean?”, Mr. Beckett
provided no answers, save, “I cannot explain my plays. Each must find out for himself
what is meant.” He left us the words, images and rhythms. It is up to us to make sense
of them.
Beckett was one of the most – if not the most – influential playwrights of the twentieth
century (as detailed in Assistant Director Suzana Berger’s article, Beckett’s Influence, later
in this stagebill). Beckett’s work also influenced generations of writers of fiction, film and
even television (Tony Soprano and Deadwood’s Al Swearengen have always struck me
as characters inspired by Beckett’s anti-heros); and his plays have attracted some of the
great actors of our time. When Associate Artistic Director Ed Sobel, who has a deep
and abiding passion for Beckett’s work, suggested Endgame with Scott Greer as Hamm
and James Ijames as Clov, I felt the thrill of possibility. Here are two actors who bring
tremendous humanity, intelligence and humor to their work. They could have careers
anywhere, but they have chosen to make Philadelphia their home. When we started the
Arden in 1988, we wanted to help foster a vibrant Philadelphia theatre community, one
that could attract such extraordinary theatre artists as Scott and James. Who better to
lead us into the world of Samuel Beckett?
As we enter this new year, in addition to our work onstage, we are busy with the
ongoing construction of the Hamilton Family Arts Center. If you look at the building
(three doors down towards Arch), you can see that a large portion of the front wall has
been removed, awaiting the new glass windows that will connect the space to 2nd
Street. The elevator shaft has been constructed; steel beams loaded in. As construction
progresses, we will be offering tours of the building, so that you can see it in process and
hopefully get involved in making the building a reality. This will be a place for new play
development and expanded educational programming – our investment in the future
and for all the new Scott Greers and James Ijames to come.
Thank you for joining us for Endgame. Thank you for being part of the Arden.

DIRECTOR’S Notes
I first fell in love with the work of Samuel Beckett when I was in college. At eighteen, what I
perceived as aridly funny nihilism held irresistible appeal. In the intervening years I’ve strayed
promiscuously, but have often returned, and never fully left. Now, as I sit squarely in the
advancing shadow of middle age, I know this lover differently.
I chose to direct Endgame this season while I was reading a number of new plays from American
writers that seemed to be confronting loss. Not personal psychological grief, although that was
present, but loss as it has an impact on a wider community. It seemed to be in our zeitgeist.
Perhaps we are now distant enough from one of our latest national tragedies that we are trying
to process the impact.
Beckett’s own world view, as many artists of his time, was informed by experiences during World
War II; in Beckett’s case including direct participation in the French Resistance under German
occupation. As I write this, one American community and by extension all of us, has suffered a
tremendous, heartbreaking loss. Each time such a thing happens, I find myself thinking, well surely
this is the last. We can’t be punished anymore. Then I remember World War I, which Beckett
also lived through, was called the “War to End All Wars.” Until it didn’t.
It seems I must accept that personal and communal calamity, destruction, cruelty and inhumanity
are inevitable. As Beckett has Didi say in Waiting for Godot, “Astride of a grave and a difficult birth
… Down in the hole, lingeringly, the gravedigger puts on the forceps.”
Beckett also wrote a phrase in his notebook: “Do not despair, one of the thieves was saved. Do
not presume, one of the thieves was damned. ” He said he was not so much interested in the
theology of the saying, but in its shape. That in his drama, every darkness contains the “perhaps”
of light.
If it is true, if things like slavery, oppression, violence and war will always happen, if the thief is
damned, then so do we also always have opportunity to respond. The possibility remains of
being wiser, more forgiving, more compassionate, of laughing and loving more than we did the
last time. One of the thieves was saved. What we do with our perpetual calamity, as individuals
or as a country, is up to us. Such is the nature of hope in this world.
Making plays is an act of optimism. While you may never be sure that what you are saying has
any value and that you haven’t just messed up your own life for nothing, you live in the faith that
the creative act animates possibility, even if only for an hour and a quarter, in the dark.
Making a play is also a communal act, and I have been given the gift of an exceptional family of
actors and designers, all of whom have dedicated their considerable talents to this production
with a fervor that has been inspiring. I am grateful to them, and to you our audiences, for being
willing to enter Beckett’s unique theatre with us.
So here we are. I am stuck with Beckett, and apparently for this production anyway, him with me.
And you with us. And all of us with each other. What are we going to do now?

BECKETT’S INFLUENCE
“After Godot, plots could be minimal; exposition, expendable; characters, contradictory; settings,
unlocalized, and dialogue, unpredictable. Blatant farce could jostle tragedy.”
– Ruby Cohn, Samuel Beckett’s friend and author of numerous books about his work
Beckett’s legacy is not only Waiting for Godot, Endgame, and his other
fascinating, puzzling plays, but opening the door for theatremakers to
imagine stage worlds that defy naturalistic expression. The style he
created out of a struggle to understand and represent life after the
horrors of World War II has given us theatrical conventions that have
continued to influence other artists’ explorations for over 50 years.
Beckett’s British contemporary, Harold Pinter, said he admired
Beckett’s style, “so much that something of its texture may appear in
my own.” That texture is noticeable in the clipped rhythms of speech
and silence in gripping Pinter plays like The Birthday Party and The
Homecoming. These plays also share Beckett’s structural technique of
building characters’ actions around someone or something that is very
palpably absent.
Scott Greer, Arden’s Rosencrantz
and Guildenstern Are Dead, 2003
Tom Stoppard also has some Beckettian fun in his Hamlet-inspired
comedy, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (produced at the Arden
in 2003, featuring Endgame’s Scott Greer as Guildenstern). Stoppard opens the play with Rosencrantz
and Guildenstern “in a place without any visible character,” tossing coins and carrying on a cyclical,
philosophical, though always active conversation that echoes Waiting for Godot’s Estragon and Vladimir.
Stoppard draws on Beckett’s structural innovation to spin his story about two lost souls trying to
understand the forces that determine their actions.
In the 1960s, Sam Shepard and Edward Albee became some of the first American writers to draw on
Beckett’s avant-garde style. Shepard’s characters struggle with suburbanization, family breakdown, and
mechanization within barren stage landscapes, cyclical time, and plots that resist easy description in plays
like Cowboy Mouth and Buried Child. Albee has been a steadfast fan and supporter of Beckett, repeatedly
praising his work and even directing productions of his plays. In regards to his own writing, Albee was
greatly influenced by Beckett. “From him, I’ve learned economy, precision and specificity. [In my work] I
embraced his notion that we must stay fully alive knowing perfectly well that we are not going to stay alive
forever. And we can stay alive with far less than we think we need to. Consciousness is all.”
Although David Mamet’s characters live in extremely realistic settings, he builds on Beckett’s musical
dialogue full of repetitions and terse phrases that could be interpreted as either straightforward or laden
with meaning to give fire-breathing life to Lakeboat’s rough and tumble steamboat crew, Glengarry Glen
Ross’ crooked real estate agents, and Speed-the-Plow’s slick Hollywood producers.
Suzan-Lori Parks’ signature style of repetition and revision or “rep and rev,” which pervades plot and
dialogue in many of her plays, certainly has echoes of Beckett. Her thought-provoking content, often
dealing with the omissions of African-American experiences from history and exploding the stereotypes
that surround them, flows naturally from this form. She is intrigued by what Beckett and his mentor James
Joyce, “could get away with,” and places her adventurous writing in, “that tradition of doing whatever you
want and saying, ‘Here it is!’”
Each of these writers’ creations is unique, different from each other’s and from Beckett’s in significant
ways.Yet his particular brand of theatricality so permeates the air theatre artists breathe that they have
all used it to fuel their theatrical tangles with the questions of their times. We have the excitement of
experiencing Beckett’s stagecraft for ourselves, as well as seeing how today’s young writers will draw on
their theatrical heritage to interrogate this moment in history and help us to understand it.

SAMUEL BECKETT (Playwright) was born in Foxrock, a suburb of Dublin, in 1906. He spent much of his
youth writing poems and stories and journeying through Ireland, France, England and Germany.
Eventually settling in Paris, he met James Joyce and became the author’s close friend and aide, writing
the essay “Our Examination Round His Factification for Incamination of Work in Progress” about the
creation of Joyce’s Finnegan’s Wake. In 1938, Beckett met his future wife, Suzanne Dechevaux-Dumesnil,
a piano student, when she rescued him after he was stabbed by a panhandler on the street. They both
became active in the French Resistance during World War II, until they were forced to flee Paris to the
outskirts of France to wait out the end of the war. Upon his return to Paris, Beckett began the most
prolific period of his writing career, which included his two most well-known plays, Waiting for Godot and
Endgame. Beckett’s plays broke the convention of naturalism, and his work became a cornerstone of 20th
Who’s Who
century theatre. Because of his influence, future playwrights were encouraged to experiment with the
underlying meaning of their work. For his accomplishments in drama and fiction, he was awarded the
Nobel Prize in Literature in 1969. Beckett continued to write steadily until his death in 1989.

tHe cHekHov proJect
I love reading Anton Chekhov’s plays. They have a panoramic sweep and yet are filled with startlingly
intimate moments. The more time I spend with his plays, the more I recognize his characters – and the
more I recognize myself in these characters. As a director, I have long wanted to bring the extraordinary
response I have reading Chekhov to a full-bodied production but, in order to do so, I felt I needed two
things: a translator involved in the entire process and additional rehearsal time so that the actors have the
time needed to fully bring these amazing characters to vibrant life. Last spring, we received a generous grant
from The Pew Center for Arts and Heritage through the Philadelphia Theatre Initiative to make this work
possible, and thus, The Chekhov Project was launched.
The Chekhov Project is a two-year exploration of the work of Anton Chekhov. It will culminate in a
production of a new translation of Chekhov’s Three Sisters, but the goals are actually more ambitious and
encompassing than that. We are seeking to find a new approach to Chekhov’s plays – one that explodes the
way contemporary American audiences experience his work.
We are working with Trinity Repertory Company in Providence, Rhode Island on this. Curt Columbus,
Trinity’s Artistic Director, has translated numerous Chekhov plays and is one of the foremost experts in the
production of Chekhov’s work here in the United States. The first step in our work together was a trip to
Moscow this last November, providing an opportunity to connect with the historical legacy of Chekhov and
to see how contemporary Russian directors and scholars are approaching his work. We have also begun
casting the ensemble of actors who will bring this play to life, drawing from both the Philadelphia and Trinity
communities. Over the course of the next year, we will hold readings, workshops, and master classes with
this ensemble – an immersive experience that is all-too-rare and very precious indeed. We will produce
Three Sisters at the Arden in March/April of 2014, and then mount a new version at Trinity in the fall of 2014.
I don’t know what our production of Three Sisters will look like, nor can I say how it will all come together;
right now, I have more questions than answers. But what I do know is that our production will be alive
and vital and heartbreaking and funny; that extraordinary artists are coming together to work on this; and
that we have the time we need to come to an answer or two, ask more questions and, hopefully, create
something extraordinary.
Throughout The Chekhov Project, we will be looking for multiple opportunities to engage our audience in
the process. If you want to hear more about the project as it unfolds, please email me at
[email protected]. I look forward to sharing updates.

GRANFALLOON 2013
On Friday, June 7, 2013, the Arden will hold the Granfalloon, our bi-annual gala at
the Arden’s new Hamilton Family Arts Center. Associate Artistic Director
Matthew Decker sat down with Producing Artistic Director Terry Nolen and
Managing Director Amy Murphy to reminisce about past Granfalloons.
MATTHEW DECKER: Why call it a “granfalloon?”
TERRY NOLEN: The name "granfalloon" is a word coined by Kurt Vonnegut meaning a
gathering of like-minded people. Fitting as our very first production in 1988 was Who Am I
This Time?, an adaptation of short stories by Kurt Vonnegut. [Arden co-founder] Aaron Posner
thought that would make a good name for the night, and it stuck.
AMY MURPHY: The Arden's first Granfalloon was held in the spring of 1991. We had been
around for several years and decided that we should hold a gala. But we wanted it to be
different - less stuffy; more down to earth.
TN: Most of all, we wanted it to be a big ol’ celebration where people had a blast.
MD: Where was the first one held?
TN: In the rotunda of The Franklin Institute, we traded our jeans and sneakers for gowns and
suits.
AM: Though Aaron still wore his sneakers.
TN: As we have grown, the Granfalloons have grown. But we always liked the idea of
holding each Granfalloon in a different space, every other year, to make each experience feel
special.
MD: Where else has the Granfalloons been held?
AM: The Seaport Museum, WXPN’s World Café Live, 30th Street Station….
TN: Our last Granfalloon was on top of the Comcast Center, overlooking the entire city. The
20th Anniversary we held it at the Arden where the party spilled outside on a tented block in
Old City.
AM: We held our second Granfalloon at the Academy of Natural Sciences, then-Mayor Ed
Rendell was in attendance. He made the most eloquent speech about how important the Arden was for the city and how we had set out to transform Philadelphia theatre and were doing
so. It was an important moment for us: the mayor was there and championing our work. It felt
that we had arrived.
MD: Any favorite Granfalloon stories to share?
AM: I remember in the early days, I worked at a farm in Newtown Square cleaning out a barn
to make extra money. One day as I was cleaning up horse poop, I heard this incredible blues
band rehearsing in a house near the barn. I put down my shovel, walked into their rehearsal
and booked them for our next Granfalloon. That band is Leroy Hawkes and the Hipnotics and
Ben Dibble, Jeff Coon, Jarrod Lentz, Krissy Fraelich,
and Keara Hailey perform
Granfalloon 2008
they’ve played six Granfalloons since then.
TN: In 1998, the Granfalloon was held in what would
eventually become the Haas theatre. At that time, it was a
big, unfinished space and we set up tables and chairs for the
event. Joilet Harris sang the song “Home” from The Wiz,
and to hear the last lyrics of the song – “And I’ve learned
that we must look inside our hearts to find a world full of
love, like yours, like mine, like home!” ring out in a space
that would become our artistic home was especially moving. Looking back on that now, and thinking how she went
on to play Caroline, or Change in the space makes such a
thrilling memory.
Joilet F. Harris performs
MD: What’s the plan for this year?
AM: This year we’re holding the Granfalloon at our new
building, the Hamilton Family Arts Center, which is three
doors north on 2nd Street. It will be the first event we’ll
ever hold in the new space.
Granfalloon 2006
TN: It will be an interactive evening set up throughout
the building. One room will be transformed into a cabaret space with Arden favorite musical theatre performers
singing their favorite songs. Another room will have speed
dating MD: Speed dating?
TN: Yes – you get three minutes to chat with your favorite
Arden artists. Then a bell rings and you get up and move
onto the next artist.
AM: They’ll be singing, dancing, cocktails, great food, great
people.
TN: But our primary goal remains the same as it was back
in 1991: to have a big ol’ celebration where
everyone has a blast.
