Dear FrienDs,Welcome to Chicago Shakespeare Theater. We are thrilled to have you with

us as we open our 2013/14 season with CyranodeBergerac. This homage to

poetry, love and panache is an adventurous tale illustrating how language and

wit can define a man beyond his physical appearance. Under the exquisite

direction of Penny Metropulos, actor Harry Groener returns to CST’s stage in

the play’s title role, thus reuniting the dynamic (and Jeff Award-winning) duo

behind the 2011 production of TheMadnessofGeorgeIII. All told, it will take

an ensemble of twenty-five actors and musicians to realize this epic theatrical

journey today. We hope you enjoy the show!

As Chicago’s home for Shakespeare, CST is not only dedicated to producing

extraordinary productions reflective of the Bard’s genius like Cyranode

Bergerac. Concurrent to the run of this play, our nationally recognized

education programs will provide professional development workshops for

English teachers and unite an ensemble of educators and students from

a number of under-served Chicago Public Schools to create an abridged

production of Othello—performed on this very stage, November 1–2. Fulfilling

CST’s role as Chicago’s cultural ambassador, the fall World’s Stage Series will

import the innovative play TheTable by UK-based collective Blind Summit, as

we also export our production of Othello:TheRemix to a return engagement in

London. (Since premiering at Shakespeare’s Globe in 2012, the production has

toured to Germany, Scotland and South Korea.)

CST is proud to serve as a global theater reflective of the world-class city of

Chicago. Thank you for your support of our work on stage, in the community

and across the world! n

Chicago Shakespeare Theater (CST) believes that Shakespeare speaks to

everyone. A global theatrical force, CST is known for vibrant productions

that reflect Shakespeare’s genius for storytelling, language and empathy for

the human condition. We have evolved into a dynamic company, producing

award-winning plays at our home on Navy Pier, throughout Chicago’s schools

and neighborhoods, and on stages around the world. We serve as a partner in

literacy to Chicago Public Schools, working alongside English teachers to help

struggling readers connect with Shakespeare in the classroom, and bringing

his text to life on stage for 40,000 students every year. And each summer,

17,000 families and audience members of all ages welcome our free Chicago

Shakespeare in the Parks into their neighborhoods across the far north, west and

south sides of the city. reflecting the global city we call home, CST is the leading

producer of international work in Chicago and has toured our own plays abroad

to Africa, Asia, Australia and Europe.

The Theater’s tradition of excellence and civic leadership has been honored with

numerous national and international awards, including the regional Theater

Tony Award, three Laurence olivier Awards, and seventy total Joseph Jefferson

Awards. CST was the 2012 recipient of the Folger Shakespeare Library’s national

Shakespeare Steward Award for our innovative teaching of Shakespeare

in American classrooms. Among its many international engagements, CST

participated in the royal Shakespeare Company’s 2006 Complete Works

Festival and was selected to represent North America at the Globe to Globe

festival as part of London’s 2012 Cultural olympiad. n

IN THE COMMUNITY

Chicago Shakespeare believes that

Shakespeare speaks to everyone. driven

by this commitment, the cast members

of CST’s celebrated production, Othello:

TheRemix, performed for two special

engagements this summer at the Cook

County department of Corrections for

more than 600 inmates engaged in

rehabilitation programs in preparation

for release. This internationally traveled

and acclaimed piece, created by Chicago

artists The Q Brothers in collaboration

with CST Creative Producer rick

Boynton, retells Shakespeare’s story of

pride, betrayal and jealousy in the high-

energy, streetwise vernacular of hip hop.

Following each performance, the cast

engaged with its audiences in Q & A,

expanding on parallels between the

400-year-old play’s themes and their

own personal journeys.

In September, the Joseph Jefferson

Award Committee honored Chicago

Shakespeare Theater with nineteen

nominations for productions throughout

its 2012/13 Season—the most nominations

received by any theater company this

year. CST is grateful to have the ambitious

creative vision and hard work of its artists

acknowledged, proudly continuing the

tradition of excellence that has propelled

this theater to become a leading Chicago

institution. CST artists, supporters,

staff and audience alike congratulate

the nominees from SundayinthePark

withGeorge,TheSchoolforLies,Julius

Caesar,HenryVIII and Othello:TheRemix.

CST looks forward to joining its peers

and fellow nominees to celebrate the

exceptional artistry and extraordinary

talent that make Chicago a world-class

city, renowned for its theatrical richness

and innovation. The 45th Annual Jeff

Awards will be presented at drury Lane

oakbrook on Monday, November 4.

BEHIND THE SCENES

recently CST made debut

performances in South Africa and

South Korea, introducing our unique

brand of storytelling to audiences

across the globe and forging

partnerships with some of the world’s

most esteemed arts festivals. In South

Africa, Cadre, CST’s co-production with

The Market Theatre of Johannesburg,

traveled to Grahamstown as part of

the National Arts Festival, the most

expansive annual celebration of the

arts on the African continent. In

August, Othello:TheRemix marked the

Theater’s Asian debut at the daejeon

Arts and Culture Festival, outside of

Seoul. Both productions subsequently

toured to the UK, with Cadre at the

2013 Edinburgh Festival Fringe and

Othello:TheRemix at the Unicorn

Theatre in London. This coming

January, Othello:TheRemix will play

at the Sydney Festival in Australia,

bringing CST’s global reach to four

continents in the span of a single year.

Penny,we’redelightedtobewelcomingyoubackto

ChicagoShakespeare—and,withyou,HarryGroener,who

playedyourGeorgeIIIwhenyoudirectedThe Madness of

George IIIherein2011.

At first rehearsal when the entire CST staff and Cyrano

cast gathers together in the room, I was so moved by

listening to not only who everybody was but by what

everybody does here—including our ‘wig knotters,’ who

are constructing the 40 wigs for this production. Think

about it. This is a centuries-old craft we’re still utilizing—

and this theater fosters that level of art-making. I can’t

imagine any director not being overwhelmingly grateful

for being asked to work on CyranodeBergerac. But it’s

a very large show, and it takes a theater like Chicago

Shakespeare to be able to produce a play like this.

Rostand’sdecisiontowritethisparticularstorywhereand

whenhedidwassurprising,wasn’tit?Whatmadeitso?

rostand wrote this play when he was twenty-nine years old.

He wrote it in the late nineteenth century, when naturalism

and realism absorbed the great playwriters of the time,

notably, Ibsen, Shaw and Strindberg, among so many

others. The writers of the day were saying, Let’s look at the underbelly because

things are not pretty. Things are not romantic. They are gritty and nasty and ugly.

But none of us can do that twenty-four hours a day, every day of our lives. We

need to be reminded of grace and beauty, and that’s what rostand does.

YouchosetoworkwiththetranslationbyAnthonyBurgess.Talktousabout

Burgess’s‘presence’inthispiece.

Anthony Burgess is best known for his

ClockworkOrange, and some of our

audience will know him, too, for his

Shakespeare scholarship. Working on this

man’s translation and adaptation, you come

to understand how his own genius met the

genius of rostand and together created something quite extraordinary. The fact

that Burgess wrote two different translations of this same play over the years is

indicative of just how rich the play is and how it affected him, as a writer and a

poet. We think we know the play, but then when it is revealed in its entirety you

see that it’s much deeper, much richer.

Isthatthereasonforitslastingpower—andwhyaudiencesforwell

overacenturyhaveembracedit?

It’s interesting to me that the story starts in a theater, because Cyrano’s onstage

audience enters the hall looking for the same thing we all look for when we go to

the theater. Peter Brook calls it having this ‘interest.’ Interests vary. Some go to

the theater to see a star. Some go because they want to be seen. Some people go

because they want to say they’ve been to the theater. Some go because they’ve

read about the production somewhere. Some people go to the theater because

they need their hearts filled. They want to laugh, they need to forget. This is our

audience and this is the audience that walks into that imaginary onstage theater

to see a famous actor of their day. The real theater, though, occurs when Cyrano

enters. When he walks in the door, the truth walks in—and when truth walks in the

door, it’s thrilling, it’s witty, it’s brilliantly spoken, and it goes right to the heart of

some people go to the theater because they need

their hearts filled.


the matter. That’s what that audience was looking for and they got it. I think a play

like CyranodeBergerac meets that need so beautifully, and that’s one of the reasons

I love it. I think we need it to lighten our dark world in a joyful way.

Whathaveyoucometoappreciateaboutthischaracterathiscore?

To me, one of the definitions of panache is the joy of the pursuit of the ideal. To me,

that is the reason that this story is not a tragedy, though its hero dies. That sense of

joy in his pursuit of the ideal is present all the way to the moment of his death. When

we talk about seeking the ideal, it is the essence of who we are as human beings.

It’s the most serious question we can ask

ourselves. It is what defines our character and

defines our life. do I, or any of us, do this daily?

No, of course not, but that’s the reason we have

and need heroes in literature. To help remind

us. Cyrano says, ‘I cannot be successful without

excess.’ He has this tenacious desire to not be distracted from the ideals that he’s

pursuing. That’s what a real hero is, right? Someone relentlessly undistracted by this

pursuit. But Cyrano is also a human being. What is he distracted by? His vanity—that

he believes he can never be truly loved because of the way he looks. He is human,

and that’s why we are so moved by him. ‘These are my enemies,’ he says as he dies:

vanity, pride, stupidity, ignorance. He has fought his enemies on the outside, and his

enemies on the inside. I think we all have a part of Cyrano in us.

Martin Luther King, Jr. didn’t know at the beginning who would join him, that it would

be students first in Birmingham and soon throughout the country who entered the

civil rights movement. young people hold the belief that there is something better.

Cyrano holds in his mature, experienced self, this seventeen-year-old idealism. In one

of her essays, Annie dillard talks about ‘the long thought’ and how we have strayed

from our ability to have the long thought because we’re so distracted by our lives.

Someone like Martin Luther King, Jr. or like Cyrano has the long thought. n

He has fought his enemies on the outside, and

his enemies on the inside.

entertain with style


tHe storyrenowned throughout France for his unrivaled swordplay, wordplay, and nose,

Cyrano de Bergerac is the man on everyone’s mind as they anticipate the curtain

rising on this evening’s drama. Will Cyrano absent himself as Montfleury, the actor

he has banned from performing here, takes the stage? No—and nor will he stand

by as a crowd of ruffians intend to ambush his friend Lignière later that night.

The next morning it is Cyrano who now awaits the arrival of one person: his

cousin, roxane, whom he has loved in silence because of his certainty that she,

nor any woman, can love him. roxane confides that it is Christian, a new cadet in

Cyrano’s regiment, with whom she has fallen in love. She asks her cousin to look

out for his welfare, and Cyrano agrees. And when Christian fears that he cannot

court a beautiful young woman with the intellect of roxane, Cyrano offers himself

up once more: together, they create the perfect lover, inside and out. Through

Cyrano’s exquisite words, roxane falls ever more deeply in love. And as Cyrano

diverts the attention of the powerful Count de Guiche, another suitor to roxane

with less noble intentions, she and Christian are secretly wed.

Newly promoted as commander of Cyrano and Christian’s Gascon regiment, the

enraged de Guiche sends their troop directly into harm’s way as the French face

the Spanish enemy at the Battle of Arras. roxane follows her love to the front line,

and there the tide of events is forever altered.

eDmonD rostanDCyrano has always eclipsed the artist who imagined him, and indeed it was not

until almost a century after the playwright’s death that a complete rostand

biography was available in English. The son of a well-to-do and cultured family,

rostand was born in Marseille in 1868. Upon completing his law degree, he fully

dedicated himself to creative work. His first notable piece, LesRomanesques, a

variation on the themes of RomeoandJuliet, was produced in 1894. The most

significant event of rostand’s life came to pass just a few years later with the

writing and production of CyranodeBergerac. When the play opened in 1897, the

author was twenty-nine years old. Practically overnight, the young Frenchman

found his name included on lists of literature’s greats: Shakespeare, Hugo, dante—

and rostand. The success of the work led to his 1901 election to the Académie

française, its youngest member ever elected. But the burden of fame and his

fragile physical constitution proved too taxing. The public’s expectations would

outshine the more modest reality of rostand’s subsequent works. disappearing

into a quiet retirement, he died of pneumonia at the age of fifty, a victim of the

1918 flu pandemic. n

SCHoLAr’S NoTES

of the auditorium, then swiftly makes his way onto the stage.

or rather, onto two: the twenty-first-century stage, and the

seventeenth-century playhouse where Cyrano promptly

shuts down the premiere of a play whose star he despises.

And then, prodigiously, supplants it. By the time this first

scene is over, he will have performed such wonders of

voice and body, word—and swordplay, as to provide his

Parisian audience with much more than their money’s-

worth. Nothing they’d come to see could possibly have

proven as spellbinding as he.

The same holds true for us. The scene is an opening

masterstroke in a play wholly focused on the elusive

interplay between hearing and seeing, voices and bodies.

rostand will prove phenomenally adept in the wonders

that theater can work with both.

The play’s well-known premise distributes these elements

rather plainly, as a kind of quidproquo: Cyrano, convinced

of his own ugliness but achingly in love with his word-

drunk cousin roxane, helps the handsome, inarticulate

Christian to woo and win her, in what both men initially

perceive as a perfect fusion of voice and body: “If only,”

laments Christian, “I had the words.” “I have the words,”

Cyrano answers. “All I lack is looks … you plus I equal one

hero of the story books.” The play’s multiple amazements

arise from the ways rostand will melt this plain arithmetic

into poetry, remaking it into a map, readily recognizable

by every mortal watching, of the human propensities for

passion, performance, and inhibiting self-scorn.

For we see from the start that Cyrano’s voice, and his body

too, are layered things, compounded out of preternatural

We hear cyrano before we see him. He shouts in outrage

from somewhere in the darkness virtuosity (those words, that sword) and private pain. When Cyrano, informed by

an idiot that his nose is big, proceeds to improvise the dazzling sequence of insults

with which his hapless interlocutor might have assailed his problematic proboscis,

we hear in the very prolificity of his wit—the creative energy devoted by his own

fertile brain to the topic of his flawed body—the sorrow that his speech at once

conceals and confesses: this thing hurts me; this thing haunts me. We hear the one

thing that he strives to leave unvoiced.

Each successive scene in the play will ramp up this tension between hypnotic

speech and agonized silence. Cyrano will put himself through a sequence of

astonishing performances, each of which entails an ordeal of self-containment,

as he chooses, again and again but for ever more pressing reasons, not to

confess his love to his cousin.

only once, at the play’s deeply moving midpoint, does

rostand briefly release the tension between speech and

silence, before ratcheting it up to new heights. At night,

under roxane’s balcony, Cyrano seizes the chance to

speak in his own voice of his love for her; he can do

so precisely because she continues to think she’s listening to Christian. (Lovers and

a balcony: Cyrano reworks Shakespeare everywhere, in ways worth listening for.)

At the play’s start, Cyrano speaks out of the darkness. But this time we see him (as

roxane does not), and we hear in his speech the heart-swelling fullness of self-

revelation, freed by invisibility, unencumbered by the need for surrogation.

And then, with harsh immediacy, comes the play’s most sustained instance of speech

as self-suppression. To distract a nobleman who would interfere with roxane’s and

Christian’s coupling, Cyrano must improvise a new role—as a garrulous, obstructive

lunatic just fallen from the moon and intent on rising back again. (Another echo:

Edgar feigning madness as poor Tom in KingLear.) And he must do this knowing all

the while that he is indispensably helping to make possible the thing that he least

wants to happen: the union of his beloved with another man.

we hear the one thing that he strives

to leave unvoiced.


“ your soul arose,” roxane will later say to Christian, recollecting this pivotal night,

In perfume to my window, the true you

Made itself known in a voice.

She is speaking still to the wrong man, but she could not be more right.

Moments earlier, we heard Cyrano speak of his panache—the white plume he

proudly wears in his hat—as his “visible soul.” (It is this metaphorical connotation

of panache—as grace, virtuosity, heroic self-possession—that rostand’s play

permanently bequeathed to our language.)

roxane’s words confirm what we already

know: that Cyrano’s passionate voice is his

plume’s audible equivalent, the medium in

which his soul most lives. Its sound, rising in

the night to the balcony where its speaker

most longed to be (but where his body,

unlike romeo’s, could not follow), delivered his true soul, made him known

though still unknown to his longed-for listener. only at play’s end will roxane

complete the path from hearing to seeing that we traversed in its first moments,

when our hero spoke in darkness en route to center stage. Having heard

Cyrano’s voice for many years, roxane at long last sees him whole.

In that final scene, rise and fall become all in all. Cyrano, visiting roxane in

early autumn, remarks that the leaves “fall well. With a sort of panache …

They go in grace, making their fall appear like flying.” A little later, he returns

to the fantasy of flying to the moon—this time not as lunatic but as lifelong

lover. In real life, Cyrano de Bergerac (1619–1655), poet, playwright, soldier,

was also one of the first creators of science fiction; his novel L’AutreMonde

(TheOtherWorld) recounted, as if autobiographically, his rocket voyage to

the moon. rostand deepens the lunar connection; Cyrano’s closing fantasy

of flight becomes the play’s last manifestation of his visible, audible soul, as

though the moon itself were the apt and final stage for his loquacious, silent,

fabulously theatrical journey. n

cyrano’s passionate voice is his plume’s audible

equivalent, the medium in which his soul most lives
