Dear Friend,

Welcome to STC’s Hero/Traitor Repertory, the first installment in the Clarice Smith Repertory Series. William Shakespeare’s Coriolanus and Friedrich Schiller’s Wallenstein

share a stage because the title characters share a dilemma: their power as charismatic military leaders brings them into conflict with the political world. In this North American premiere of Schiller’s work, translated and freely adapted by former Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky, Wallenstein muses, “Once men have climbed the heights of greatness…the world forgets the things that got them there.” Watch how military strategy, political ambition and class warfare collide in these two classic works and judge for yourself whom to name “hero” or “traitor.”

I’m pleased to once again work alongside David Muse, STC’s former Associate Artistic Director and current Artistic Director of The Studio Theatre, who collaborated with me on our Leadership Repertory in 2010 and our Roman Repertory in 2008. David directed a breakthrough production of Coriolanus at Yale School of Drama 10 years ago, and we are both excited to re-explore the play in new ways. We are fortunate to also welcome back STC Affiliated Artist Patrick Page and Chicago talent Steve Pickering to lead our casts.

For the final show in our 2012–2013 Season, we will produce Rebecca Bayla Taichman’s interpretation of Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale. Rebecca has a stimulating vision for this production, one of Shakespeare’s most beautiful and theatrical late Romances. We hope you can join us.

Warm regards,

Michael Kahn Artistic Director Shakespeare Theatre Company

About the Playwright: ShakespeareNo 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 Stratford-upon-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.

Synopsis: CoriolanusRome’s plebeians riot over a food shortage, angry that the patricians have been hoarding corn. As Menenius, a patrician senator popular among the people, attempts to calm them, Caius Martius, a military hero, arrives. He scorns the plebeians and tells Menenius that the rioting has won them a concession: tribunes will be elected to represent the interests of the people in the senate. News arrives that Rome is about to be invaded by a neighboring tribe, the Volscians. Eager to fight Aufidius, the Volscians’ general, Martius volunteers himself. After the patricians leave, the tribunes Sicinius and Brutus discuss their dislike of Martius and his contempt for the people.

Volumnia, Martius’ mother, lectures his wife, Virgilia, who is afraid that Martius will die in battle, on the valor to be found in war. As fighting begins in the Volscian city of Corioles, Martius curses his retreating troops and forces his way through the city gates, alone. The soldiers believe him dead, but he returns and rallies the Romans to conquer the city. Covered in blood, Martius finds and defeats Aufidius, leaving him and the Volscians humiliated. After the battle, Cominius honors Martius with the honorific surname “Coriolanus,” in recognition of his role in taking Corioles.

In Rome, Menenius criticizes Brutus and Sicinius for their hostility to Coriolanus and their political ambitions. When Coriolanus returns from Corioles in triumph, the senate votes to elect him as consul, the highest office in Rome. He cringes, however, at the required ceremony of wearing the “gown of humility,” in which he must show his scars to the plebeians and beg for their votes. When the plebeians arrive to see his wounds, Coriolanus is condescending, but they approve his election nonetheless. After he departs, the tribunes stir up anger in the plebeians at Coriolanus’ mockery. At home, Volumnia tells Coriolanus that he must apologize to the people, and he reluctantly assents. When Coriolanus returns, the plebeians, urged on by the tribunes, banish him from Rome. Coriolanus leaves, denouncing Rome bitterly.

In Antium, the capital of Volscian territory, a disguised Coriolanus interrupts Aufidius’ feast and makes him an offer: kill me now, or accept my help in conquering Rome. Aufidius embraces him as an ally. In Rome, the tribunes congratulate themselves on their ousting of Coriolanus, until they hear news of the Volscian army approaching, led by Coriolanus. In the field, Aufidius tells a lieutenant that he hates being overshadowed by Coriolanus, who has won his soldiers’ hearts, and intends to kill him after the war. As Coriolanus and the Volscians draw closer to Rome, Menenius visits Coriolanus’ camp and entreats him not to attack Rome, but Coriolanus curtly dismisses him. Finally, outside the city, Coriolanus’ family arrives. Volumnia pleads with him to spare Rome. Coriolanus agrees to broker a peace between the Volscians and the Romans. The Volscian army retreats, and Volumnia enters Rome to the adulation of the people. In Antium, Aufidius plots to kill Coriolanus. As Coriolanus returns, Aufidius insults him in the public square and incites his soldiers and the Volscians to kill him.

The Body PoliticEarly in the action of Coriolanus, Shakespeare surprises us with a scene of familial intimacy. Volumnia, Coriolanus’ mother, discusses her grandson, Young Martius, who plays at being a soldier in emulation of his father. “He had rather see the swords and hear a drum than look upon his schoolmaster,” Volumnia says proudly. “I saw him run after a gilded butterfly,” says Valeria, another Roman matron describing a scene of childlike play that ends unexpectedly:

...and when he caught it, he let it go again, and after it again, and over and over he comes, and up again, catched it again. Or whether his fall enraged him, or how ’twas, he did so set his teeth and tear it. O, I warrant it, how he mammocked it! (act 1, scene 3)

A mammock is a hunk of meat, more figuratively a scrap, shred or fragment. This passage is the first time it appears as a verb in the English language, in Shakespeare’s vivid image of dismemberment. In our contemporary era of gun violence, when military weapons and ideologies can intrude into the private sphere of children’s lives with horrific consequences, Shakespeare suddenly looks prescient. There is more at stake than butterflies.

In Coriolanus, Shakespeare draws his plot from Plutarch’s Lives, which tells the story of the aristocratic Caius Martius Coriolanus, the legendary warrior who helped establish democracy in Rome by defeating Tarquin the Proud, only to lead an army against the republic himself. In adapting this story, Shakespeare seems to question the underpinnings of democracy, while at the same time finding fault in our attraction to charismatic military leaders. To this provocative plot, Shakespeare adds a guiding metaphor very much in Elizabethan vogue: that of the body politic.

“The senators of Rome are this good belly,” Coriolanus’ friend Menenius tells a group of rioting citizens in the play’s first scene, which evokes contemporary images of Tea Party and Occupy protests, “And you the mutinous members.” According to Menenius, the leaner “members” of the commonwealth need to feed the “belly” in order for it to remain healthy. In other words, Menenius is a proponent of trickle-down economics.

Throughout the play, Shakespeare draws our attention to the image of the body politic, and, like Young Martius’ butterfly, to the dismemberment of that body. Instability, Shakespeare seems to be saying, is human nature, and thus it is also the nature of the bodies we create, whether physical or political. Late in the play, Coriolanus’ rival, the Volscian general Aufidius, comments on the impermanence of human creations:

So our virtues Lie in th’interpretation of the time... One fire drives out one fire, one nail one nail; Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail. (act 4, scene 7)

It’s hard to think of a more pessimistic commentary on human history. Might makes right, therefore right is relative. There is no such thing as morality, only competing political ideologies, as one interpretation drives out another. In the 20th century, Coriolanus was adopted for propagandistic uses by extremist parties on both left and right. It was Adolf Hitler’s favorite Shakespeare play, and it was also Bertolt Brecht’s.

In our own fractured era of competing political ideologies, what is the interpretation of our time? Perhaps one kind of answer lies in what happens to Coriolanus, one of Shakespeare’s most ambiguous tragic heroes. Like Martius’ butterfly, and like the state of Rome at the end of the play, he is mammocked.

If Coriolanus portrays the dismemberment of the Roman body politic, Friedrich Schiller’s Wallenstein depicts a body that is already mutilated, a Germany endlessly divided by total war.

The play is set in 1634, the exact midpoint of the Thirty Years’ War. More than a thousand years after Charlemagne unified Western Europe under the name of the Holy Roman Empire, it now consists of more than 400 warring members in an area roughly the size of Texas. What had started as a local religious conflict between Protestant and Catholic nobles in Bohemia has blown up into a continent-wide conflagration. Peasants live in terror as wave after wave of invaders—Saxon, Danish, Swedish—rape and pillage their way across the countryside. Foreign armies, consisting largely of mercenary soldiers, pioneer unprecedented and unimaginable tortures. Entire cities are reduced to ashes. Soldiers eat their own horses during the winter months for sustenance.

For the German people, who bore the brunt of the suffering, the war would forever be regarded as a national trauma. In the early 20th century, both political sides sought to purge the infection through different means. Bertolt Brecht would set his apocalyptic anti-war play, Mother Courage and Her Children, during the Thirty Years’ War, while Adolf Hitler would advocate an identity politics of aggressive militarism in order to resurrect the spirit of the “First Reich.”

Like Shakespeare, Schiller seems to challenge such ideological polarities with his provocative choice of plot: the last days of Wallenstein. When Albrecht Wallenstein, the key figure in the Thirty Years’ War, was killed by assassins in Eger Castle, he was possibly attempting to negotiate a peace with the enemy Swedes. The war had raged for 15 years before he was killed; it would rage for 15 years more after he was killed. The Wallensteinfrage (“Wallenstein Question”) has never been solved, up to the present day. Was he attempting to unify Europe in peace, or was he angling for something more personal? Czechs claim him as a national hero, a would-be King of Bohemia lost to history. Austrians consider him a traitor to Vienna and the Emperor, a Coriolanus who had forsaken his Rome. Most other Germans simply consider him the man who could have stopped the bloodshed.

Schiller was in fact, like Shakespeare, writing about a central dilemma of his times. From the 1770s to the 1790s, he witnessed the first democratic revolutions since the time of the Romans. He also saw the equally destabilizing and terrifying rise of Napoleon. In an age of democratic revolutions, Schiller understood, the people’s demand for freedom is absolute. However, he also understood that in an age of autocratic counterinsurgencies, the state demands a similarly paramount loyalty. Wallenstein is caught inextricably between his people’s demand for freedom, which recognizes no political boundaries, and his loyalty to the state and the Emperor, who made him the great man he is. In Coriolanus and Wallenstein, Schiller and Shakespeare both portray this tragic paradox, central to both plays: man is absolutely free only in the life to come. For so long as he lives, his divided loyalties make him simply another member of the body politic.

About the Playwright: SchillerSometimes characterized as Germany’s answer to Shakespeare, Friedrich Schiller (November 10, 1759–May 9, 1805) is one of the greatest German poets and playwrights, as well as one of the first modern European intellectuals. His alliance, at the turn of the 19th century, with his close friend Johann Wolfgang von Goethe resulted in a body of writings that touch on all aspects of human knowledge, including poetry and philosophy, history and natural science, psychology and spirituality. He is perhaps most famous as the author of the words in the Ode to Joy, which appears in the last movement of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony.

Born in the petty principality of Württemberg, a duchy of the Holy Roman Empire, Schiller spent a traumatic adolescence in the Karlsschule, the strict military academy overseen personally by the repressive Duke Karl Eugen. His first play, The Robbers (1782), written while he was still a

student, is marked by revolutionary calls for freedom and emphatic assertions of the individual’s will to action. Schiller was imprisoned for two weeks and forbidden from writing more plays, but he fled from the Duke’s prison in Stuttgart and began the career of a writer. After success in Mannheim with Cabal and Love (1784), Schiller moved to Leipzig. Here he reached a crisis point with Don Carlos (1787), a blank verse play that combined his youthful idealism with increasingly ambitious historical and political content.

Feeling that he was unable to continue writing drama after Don Carlos, Schiller turned to aesthetic, historical and philosophical studies. In 1788, he was appointed professor at the University of Jena, and his History of the Thirty Years’ War (1791–1793) was read widely. Meeting Goethe in 1794, Schiller proceeded to write his groundbreaking theoretical essays, the most famous of which include The Theater Considered as a Moral Institution (1794), Letters on the Aesthetic Education of Man (1795) and On Naïve and Sentimental Poetry (1796). In these writings, Schiller articulated an aesthetic program in which art, particularly dramatic art, was charged with the moral edification of the individual in order to bring about social change.

Inspired by these writings, Schiller began to be aware of an urge to return to playwriting. Moving to Weimar, Germany’s literary capital, Schiller co-founded the Weimar Court Theatre with Goethe, beginning a brief-lived renaissance of German theatre practice and theory. After christening the stage with Wallenstein (1799), an epic 10-act tragedy based on his historical writings, Schiller would write only four more plays—Maria Stuart (1800), The Maid of Orleans (1801), The Bride of Messina (1803) and Wilhelm Tell (1804)—each of them pairing a momentous historical subject with an innovative dramatic form. He died in 1805, at the age of 46, due to complications from tuberculosis. Schiller’s theoretical writings have proven enormously influential in modern culture, and his mature plays—idealistic in theme, realistic in treatment—embody his aesthetic program. As Goethe said: “The idea of freedom assumed a different form as Schiller advanced in his own development and became a different man. In his youth it was physical freedom that preoccupied him and found its way into his works; in later life it was spiritual freedom.”

Synopsis: WallensteinIt is 1634. The Thirty Years’ War has been raging across Europe for 15 years. Sometimes called a religious war, the conflict is actually over political power itself, as Protestant and Catholic factions have fought on both sides. Duke Wallenstein of Bohemia, the supreme commander of the Holy Roman Emperor’s army, has assembled the largest land force that Europe has ever seen. Composed of a polyglot stew of mercenaries, they are loyal to Wallenstein, whom they believe has the power to end the war and bring peace. However, Wallenstein has been negotiating secretly with the enemy Swedes, and he envisions a peace in which he holds great power.

As the action begins, Octavio Palladini, Wallenstein’s oldest friend and one of his generals, arrives in Wallenstein’s camp in Pilsen with Questenberg, a diplomat sent by the Emperor from Vienna. They discover, to their alarm, that Wallenstein has gathered together all of his chief generals, who espouse sentiments that come close to treason. In a war council, Questenberg presents Wallenstein with the Emperor’s command: he is to divert eight regiments to Milan, to escort the Spanish Habsburg Prince. Instead of agreeing to the order, Wallenstein threatens to resign his commission, sending the meeting into chaos. Afterward, in conference with his brother-in-law Count Czerny and his Field-Marshall Kolibas, Wallenstein demands that his generals sign an oath of loyalty to him, unconditional, with no mention of the Emperor. Czerny and Kolibas agree to trick the generals that night at a banquet.

At the banquet, Max Palladini, Octavio’s son, meets secretly with Wallenstein’s daughter Thekla. They are in love, but Thekla understands that their marriage will come at the cost of Max betraying the Emperor. That night at the banquet, Max refuses to sign the oath of loyalty prepared by Czerny and Kolibas, raising the suspicions of the drunken generals. The next day, Wallenstein meets with Lundquist, a Swedish Captain, but he hesitates, uncertain whether to commit himself to the other side.

In his officer’s quarters, Octavio reveals Wallenstein’s death warrant, signed by the Emperor, to Max, who cannot believe his father’s diplomatic deceit. Octavio then shows the warrant to two of Wallenstein’s generals, Harvaty and Bailey. Harvaty leaves with Octavio, but Bailey stays behind, posing as one of Wallenstein’s loyalists. When the warrant becomes public knowledge, Wallenstein’s soldiers revolt. After trying to talk to a regiment of Grenadiers, Wallenstein gives the order to open fire on his own troops. Max breaks with Wallenstein, horrified.

Forced to flee to the mountain stronghold of Eger, Wallenstein arrives with his smaller band of followers, where he is greeted by Gordon, the fortress commander. News arrives of Max’s death, trampled by his own horses in a meaningless battle against the Swedes. Thekla leaves to find Max’s gravesite. Meanwhile, Bailey enlists Devereux and MacDonald, two Scottish captains in Wallenstein’s troop, to kill him as he prepares for bed. Wallenstein and his generals are murdered. Octavio, arriving too late to spare Wallenstein’s life, is named Prince and commander of the armies.

Presenting Classic TheatreThe mission of the Shakespeare Theatre Company is to present classic theatre of scope and size in an imaginative, skillful and accessible American style that honors the playwrights’ language and intentions while viewing their work through a 21st-century lens.

Promoting Artistic ExcellenceSTC’s productions blend classical traditions and modern originality. Hallmarks include exquisite sets, elegant costumes, leading classical actors and, above all, an uncompromising dedication to quality.

Fostering Artists and AudiencesSTC is a leader in arts education, with a myriad of user-friendly pathways that teach, stimulate and encourage learners of all ages.

News from the ACAEleanor Holdridge and Robert Richmond to Direct ACA’s Summer Repertory SeasonFor 12 summers now, the participants of the Academy for Classical Acting (ACA) have capped off their training with a fully supported repertory season. The season always consists of one play written by William Shakespeare and one play from the Jacobean era (1603-1625). With the announcement of our two plays forthcoming, we are happy to announce our selected directors.

Eleanor Holdridge will be directing our play from the Jacobean era. Eleanor is the current Head of Directing at Catholic University of America. This season she has directed: Body Awareness at Theater J, Zorro at Constellation Stage (which she also co-wrote), God of Carnage at Everyman Theatre and Hedda Gabbler at Catholic University. Her Off-Broadway productions that include Steve & Idi at Rattlestick Playwrights Theatre, Cycling Past The Matterhorn at

Clurman Theatre, The Imaginary Invalid and Mary Stuart at Pearl Theatre Company. Regionally, Eleanor has directed at Shakespeare & Company, Milwaukee Shakespeare, Alabama Shakespeare, Roundhouse Theatre, Folger Theatre, Everyman Theatre, Theater J and Taffety Punk. She holds an MFA from Yale School of Drama.

Robert Richmond will helm our Shakespeare production. The Hastings, England, native and Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama alum resides in Columbia, South Carolina, where he is the University of South Carolina’s Head of Undergraduate Performance. Prior to his current position, Robert spent 14 years as the Associate Artistic Director of the Aquila Theatre Company in New York. While he was there, he directed productions that toured across the U.S., Off-Broadway and in Europe. One of his most recent projects, Henry V at Folger Theatre, was named the best selling show in Folger history. He has also directed Othello and Henry VIII at Folger Theatre.

The Academy for Classical Acting (ACA) at The George Washington University is the only full-time MFA program in the country focused exclusively on classical acting.

The Emerging Classical Artists Fund provides much-needed scholarship funds for MFA candidates at the ACA. Your support is crucial to our goal of providing financial aid to 100% of our students.

You are invited to name a scholarship through the Emerging Classical Artists Fund.

Donors of $5,000 or more to the ACA at The George Washington University may name a scholarship to fund one of our talented actors and connect with a recipient.
