the exorcist

From the artistic Director

WELCOME TO THE GEFFEN PLAYHOUSE

The essence of drama is conflicT, and no conflict is more primal than that between a person and his or her demons. The demon can take on many forms, and his appearance as the devil and/or his emissaries has a long and distinguished presence in the theater. from the morality plays of the 1500s to the many incarnations of faustus and even as recently as conor mcPherson’s The Seafarer, the demon usually appears during a crisis of faith, and The Exorcist is no exception.

What makes The Exorcist such a fundamentally frightening story is that this devil is intimately specific — each character is haunted by the individual things for which they harbor the most guilt. despair allows the devil in, and as he takes up residence in the innocence of a child, even men of conviction are pushed to examine the depths of their shortcomings.

in the hands of John Pielmeier, an extraordinarily insightful playwright who has wrestled with faith in his play Agnes of God, and John doyle, a director known for his striking originality, this incarnation of The Exorcist has been brought to life in an entirely new way. mr. doyle, who began working with mr. Pielmeier early in the process, has created a vision of The Exorcist as rich and layered as the text itself. Together, writer, director, world class actors and designers have captured the essence of William Peter Blatty’s classic novel and brought it to life with pulsing immediacy and suspense.

We are proud to bring the world premiere of this iconic story to the stage. While we know it is a frightening proposition to sit through an evening with the devil, we hope you will find the journey well worth it.

enjoy the show,

hello, and Welcome To our final Play of The season. We are Pleased to present this world premiere, based on William Peter Blatty’s haunting 1971 book. directed by Tony award winner John doyle and adapted by acclaimed playwright John Pielmeier, The Exorcist is a suspenseful and psychological theatrical event that uniquely presents the battles of faith versus despair and good versus evil.

The world premiere of The Exorcist is a fitting conclusion to a diverse and eventful season — one that has seen the highest attendance in Geffen Playhouse history: over 135,000 visits. my congratulations to the entire staff on this exceptional accomplishment. This year in the Gil cates Theater, we’ve featured an exciting multi-media production of Kristoffer diaz’s Pulitzer Prize nominated The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity; witnessed star-crossed love in Geoffrey nauffts’ Next Fall; beheld the wit of molly ivins in Red Hot Patriot; and enjoyed the company of david lindsay-abaire’s outspoken south Bostonites in Good People. in our audrey skirball Kenis Theater, we launched three new plays: we beheld the luminous marie curie in alan alda’s Radiance; experienced The Jacksonian, Beth henley’s star-studded world premiere; and are currently enraptured by the musical stylings and harrowing story of the recently extended The Pianist of Willesden Lane. now, as we wrap up this season with The Exorcist, i feel that this play about redemption, faith and hope is an appropriate way not only to culminate this season, but also to look ahead to the next with great anticipation and excitement.

speaking of wonderful ways to culminate the season, i would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who helped make 2012 a record-breaking year for our annual Backstage at the Geffen fundraiser, honoring Jim Gianopulos and carol Burnett. This June 4 event raised over $1 million in support of our artistic initiatives and our education and outreach programs, which bring the power of performing arts to over 22,500 underserved los angeles youth, adults, seniors and veterans annually. a feat of this magnitude would not be possible without the incredible generosity of our patrons, and for that, i thank each and every Backstage at the Geffen participant.

Thank you for being a part of another fine year at the Geffen Playhouse. i hope you have enjoyed yourself, and i wish you many happy returns with us next season. now i invite you to sit back, hold on tight to the hand of your date and enjoy The Exorcist.

With warm regards,

Frank G. Mancuso Chairman, Geffen Playhouse

BATTLING DEMONS: ADAPTING THE ExORCIST FOR THE STAGEBY amY LeViNsoN

AL: Can you speak about the genesis of the project and the sequence of events that lead you to take on this adaptation?

JP: about four years ago, i received a call from two producers, one of whom was a friend of William Peter Blatty. They told me they were acquiring the stage rights to his novel and they were looking for a writer to do the adaptation — might i be interested? i hadn’t read the novel since it first came out in the early 70s, so i spent the weekend re-reading it, then called them the following monday and gave them my pitch:

i was not interested in reproducing the film on stage. i wanted to do it with a very small cast. i wanted to do it with minimal, if any special effects. and i very much wanted the demon to be a presence in the play, not a voice coming out of a child.

They then set up an appointment for me to meet with Bill Blatty and a few days before we were set to meet, i was told by the producers that they were unable to acquire the rights. in the meantime, Bill called me and said he would still like to talk to me, so i went to his house, presented my pitch and he was pleased enough

to give the rights directly to me. i wrote the play, it found its way to the Geffen and here we are.

AL: Did you work with mr. Blatty on the script?

JP: no, i wrote the adaptation on my own, but i showed him every draft. he’s been enormously generous from the very beginning, and his comments have always been very much to the point. i’ve tried to keep him a part of the writing process as much as possible and to incorporate any changes he had.

AL: At what point did your work with director John Doyle begin? And what has been the nature of that collaboration?

JP: John doyle was brought on roughly one year ago. We talked about the project, and i absolutely fell in love with him and his bare-bones approach to theater. We had a three-week workshop of the play in london last fall, tackling it with a group of actors who worked script-in-hand. much of the work we did was paring the play down, focusing it, honing it. for example, John believed, and i think rightfully so, that the show should be done without an intermission and my initial draft was in two acts. all in all, it was a great learning experience and it allowed for John and i to get to know each other and learn how each of us works.

AL: in terms of your adaptation, what were the aspects of the book to which you were most drawn? What part of the story appealed to you most?

JP: i wanted to tell a story about people who were in the midst of crises of faith. everyone in this play, least of all the little girl, is facing an existential crisis, and what i was looking for in the book were elements

John Pielmeier is no sTranGer To crises of faiTh. in his play Agnes of God he confronted this issue in the realm of immaculate conception, and now, in his adaptation of The Exorcist, he peels away the faith of true believers by presenting them with a battle for a young girl’s soul. i had the opportunity to sit down with mr. Pielmeier and discuss his process, his approach to this beloved book and what it means to question one’s faith.

Playwright John Pielmeier

that supported that. for example, in the book there is a brief mention that early in his life Burke dennings, the movie director, studied to be a priest. i latched on to that thought and wrote an entire scene around it. There is another mention in the novel that chris, the actress, had a child before regan: a boy who died. This was very rich emotional soil, and i used it as a way to push chris’ character even further down the path leading to the cliff-edge. once again, Bill Blatty was very supportive in allowing me to riff on something that was but a passing thought in his glorious novel.

AL: The idea of crisis of faith seems to be a recurring theme in your work. Can you speak to that a bit?

JP: i suppose it’s the most autobiographical aspect of my work. i’ve been in a crisis of faith all of my life. (he laughs).

AL: Fair enough. What is your writing process?

JP: i’m a very organized guy, so i like to work from some kind of outline to help me focus. in this case, because it was an adaptation, i made an outline of the novel for myself so i could see how it was structured, how the story was laid out. Then i did an outline of the play — very abbreviated sketches of what i thought scenes might be. This was simply a road map for myself, nothing that anyone else would necessarily be able to understand or follow. Then i went away to a hotel in Provincetown, massachusetts for 10 days in the middle of november, and i wrote, and at the end of 10 days i had a draft. it’s the fastest i have ever written a play in my life. i don’t say that to brag — i don’t believe that time has anything to do with the quality of a work one way or the other. But i was astonished by how quickly it poured out of me.

AL: is there a character in the story with whom you identify most?

JP: There are parts of each of them in me somewhere. i probably identify the most with father damien, our main character. But there’s a part of me that identifies with the demon as well. maybe even with the little girl.

AL: When we initially read the play, we were amazed at how frightened we were by the text.

JP: i certainly didn’t set out to write a scary play, and i think the fear may be in part due to the reputation carried by the novel and the film. i certainly find it an upsetting play, and i mean that in the most literal way. i want it to be a play that upsets your view of things, of how the world may work, of how your life may or may not have meaning.

AL: Have you ever, as an audience member, been truly frightened in the theater?

JP: yes, there was a theater piece in new york a few years ago conceived by Teller (who we are lucky enough to work with on this project) called Play Dead that i thought was genuinely frightening. it was an evening in which a narrator creates a kind of séance on the stage and proceeds to tell us stories about some very true murders. i knew i was in for a treat when this character came on stage and asked the audience if they knew what it was like to be in complete darkness. Then all the lights in the theater were turned off, except of course for the eXiT lights, and i’m thinking, okay, well this is as far as they can go, and then they turned off the eXiT lights. and as soon as they did that — something which i was so not expecting — they had me completely. anything can happen here, i thought, and that’s when i got scared.

it’s hollywood’s heyday and the streets of los angeles are filled with glitz, glamour and the chance at stardom — that is as long as you have the “right” look. But when former maid vera stark lands a groundbreaking role in a new southern epic, she turns hollywood on its head and paves the way for future generations of black actresses. more than five decades later, vera’s influence on race, film and feminism has seeped its way into pop-culture. But who is the real vera stark? Part comedy and part commentary, Pulitzer Prize winner lynn nottage’s West coast premiere uses today’s fascination with celebrity and controversy to get to the truth behind the legend.

educatiON & Outreach seasON summaryat a time of shrinking financial support for arts education, the Geffen Playhouse has stepped up its outreach — serving 20 percent more community members this year than any prior season. expanding far beyond the theater walls, these programs impacted over 22,500 seniors, veterans, low income community members and students — bringing creative experiences and artistic excellence to those who need it most. highlights for the season include:

stoRY PiRAtes taught and celebrated student authors at 22 low income schools with their unique brand of creative writing workshops and interactive performances.

tHeAteR FoR FAMilies brought laughs, teachable moments and just plain fun to youth and those that are young at heart. This included the popular world premiere of Brilliance!, a family-friendly companion piece to alan alda’s Radiance.

scHool MAtinees worked in collaboration with the mayor’s Partnership for los angeles schools to bring live theater and educational tools designed to support the classroom curriculum of many under-resourced middle and high schools.

coMMunitY outReAcH programs provided free tickets and workshops to diverse community groups, low income seniors, veterans and other individuals typically isolated from the arts.

tAlk-bAck tuesDAYs engaged thousands of audience members with insight into the creation and performance of the art on both stages.
