IN CELEBRATION OF 

EXCELLENCE 

At the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, we celebrate our cultural touchstones with zest, combining respect 

for the text and the rich legacy of our traditions with the fl ourish of the playful and the unexpected. On 

our stages, the ageless classics speak to us afresh, in a continuing dialogue with the best new voices of 

contemporary theatre. This is the essence of our Festival. 

From the Forest of Arden to the Argentina of Eva Perón, 

from Prospero’s enchanted island to the Never Land 

of Peter Pan, the productions of our 2010 season will 

transport you to the realms of memory and magic, 

revenge and reconciliation – where the potent art of 

theatre is bound to capture your heart, your mind and 

your imagination. 

DES McANUFF 

ARTISTIC DIRECTOR 

A stellar company of artists, including old friends making 

their welcome returns, is here to bring these dramatic 

worlds to glorious life. The standards of excellence at 

Stratford can be met by very few theatres in the world. So 

come take your seat with us, and give us the opportunity 

not only to entertain you, but also to inspire.

Into the Woods, 

Again by Robert Blacker 

This season you have the opportunity to see four 

plays by Shakespeare that use some variation 

of his favourite motif – the contrast of city and 

country. In The Two Gentlemen of Verona, the title 

characters are tested in the big city of Milan. This 

is an early play, and Shakespeare was after all a 

small-town boy who also went to the big city, which 

was as exotic for him as Milan is for the two young 

men of that play. 

After a decade of living in London, Shakespeare 

reversed this motif. Perhaps he had lived in London 

long enough to question life there. Shakespeare 

now sent his characters from city and court to 

a romanticized version of the countryside of his 

youth. In A Midsummer Night’s Dream, seen here 

last season, Shakespeare’s lovers flee the edicts 

of fathers and court to the magic of the Athenian 

woods, where they are properly re-paired. In As

You Like It, the refugees of a cruel court are tested 

in the Forest of Arden. 

In the prose romance that is Shakespeare’s 

source for the story, Arden is located near 

Bordeaux. This provides the French setting for 

the play. Of course, there is also a Forest of Arden 

in Warwickshire, where Shakespeare was born, 

and Arden was his mother’s maiden name. This 

explains the references to Robin Hood in a play 

with a French setting and in which the country folk 

– Corin, Silvius, Audrey and William – seem very 

English. The Arden of As You Like It, however, is 

not simply either an English or French forest. A lion 

roams these woods, and a Greek god presides 

over the marriages that end the play. As the editor 

of the text we are using for this production states, 

“Arden is a fabulous forest where extraordinary 

things happen. There is no map for it.” Arden is the

exotic other world to which Shakespeare regularly 

takes us right up to the end of his career, when 

it becomes the countryside of Bohemia in The 

Winter’s Tale and Prospero’s magical isle in The 

Tempest. It is the place where his characters learn 

something fundamental about themselves. 

Perhaps the best way to understand Arden is to 

recognize what it is not. Arden is not the corrupt 

life of city and court. There, Duke Frederick has 

overthrown his older brother and sent him into 

exile. Succession was a particularly sensitive 

subject in the last years of the childless Elizabeth’s 

reign, when this play was written, not a subject 

for comedy, and As You Like It does not begin as 

a comedy. Arden is the place of refuge from the 

cruelties of that everyday world. In the words of the 

play’s first song, “Who doth ambition shun . . . Come 

hither . . . Here shall he see / No enemy, / But winter 

and rough weather.” 

Rosalind, Celia and Touchstone arrive in Arden 

in winter, where the legitimate Duke tells us “the 

icy fang . . . of the winter’s wind . . . bites and blows 

upon my body / Even till I shrink with cold.” What 

Shakespeare emphasizes, however, in the early 

scenes in the forest is the importance of kindness 

and community. Duke Senior sets the tone: he 

refers to his men as “brothers in exile.” Jaques is 

there to puncture any over-romanticization of life 

in Arden, but the march towards death that he 

describes in his famous “All the world’s a stage” 

speech is both confirmed and offset by the moving 

humanity of Orlando’s arrival carrying old Adam in 

his arms. The lightness of “Under the greenwood 

tree” is balanced in the song that follows, “Blow, 

blow, thou winter wind, / Thou art not so unkind / As 

man’s ingratitude.” 

Even in Arden, life is seen with typical 

Shakespearean complexity. Duke Senior calls 

the deer the native citizens of Arden, and Jaques 

argues that the Duke and his men have usurped 

the forest from them. In the song “What shall he 

have that kill’d the deer?”, Shakespeare even 

seems to suggest that Duke Senior and his men 

have become cuckolds and “wear the horn” 

because Duke Frederick has stolen their country 

from them. “In Shakespeare’s forests,” Jan Kott 

writes in Shakespeare Our Contemporary, “life is 

speeded up, becomes more intense . . . and at the 

same time, as it were, clearer.” 

The harshness of winter and the political situation 

give way to spring in the second half of the play, 

3

4 

and in springtime, “the only pretty ring-time,” 

Shakespeare and his young refugees turn their 

attention to love – in all its manifestations. 

We see Celia falter as she is ignored when her 

best friend falls in love, much as Mercutio and 

Benvolio are left behind when Romeo falls in love 

with Juliet. We watch Touchstone, the ultimate city 

wit, bored by country life until he succumbs to the 

attractions of sex. We witness Rosalind, who has 

learned in her uncle’s court to hide her feelings, 

struggle to reveal herself as a woman to the man 

she loves. Jaques, the ultimate loner, ironically 

spends the entire play looking for someone to talk 

to. In Touchstone he finds a soul mate, but Jaques 

remains alone at the end of the play, and alone 

among members of the court does not return there. 

In no other play does Shakespeare more 

eloquently express the need for love and 

companionship as a refuge from the vagaries of 

the world. At the end of the last Coen brothers film, 

A Serious Man, the old rabbi quotes a song by 

Jefferson Airplane that is pertinent here: 

When the truth is found to be lies 

And all the joy within you dies 

Don’t you want somebody to love? 

Near the end of the play, in “It was a lover and 

his lass,” Shakespeare unveils his theme for this 

remarkable set of variations on love: “Then take 

the present time . . . For love is crowned with the 

prime.” The “prime” is springtime, as in the Italian 

primavera, and Shakespeare tells us to seize the 

moment before the harshness of winter and life 

rolls round again. 

In A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Shakespeare 

takes his lovers and us back into life in the court for 

the fifth act of that play. By the time he wrote As You 

Like It, however, he was unwilling to do this. He has 

become so honest a writer that he knows the only 

way for his play to remain a comedy is to end it at 

the point of equilibrium. What becomes of his lovers 

after they return to the court, he keeps to himself. 

Robert Blacker is Dramaturge for As You Like It and 

the Stratford Shakespeare Festival. The Oxford 

edition of As You Like It, edited by Alan Brissenden, 

and Shakespeare Our Contemporary by Jan Kott 

are available at both branches of the Festival’s 

Theatre Store.

William Shakespeare 

Playwright 

Born in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1564, William 

Shakespeare was the eldest son of John 

Shakespeare, a glover and tanner who rose to 

become an alderman and bailiff of the town, and 

Mary Arden, the daughter of a wealthy farmer. The 

exact date of his birth is unknown, but there is a 

record of his baptism on April 26. Since an interval 

of two or three days between birth and baptism 

would have been quite common, tradition has it 

that he was born on April 23 – the same date as his 

death 52 years later. 

The young Shakespeare is assumed to have 

attended what is now the Edward VI Grammar 

School in Stratford, where he would have studied 

ancient Roman literature in its original Latin. In 1582, 

when he was 18, he married Anne Hathaway, a 

farmer’s daughter who was eight years his senior. 

Anne was pregnant at the time, and the couple’s 

first daughter, Susanna, was born a few months 

afterwards in 1583. Twins followed two years later: 

a son, Hamnet, who died at the age of 11, and a 

second daughter, Judith. 

Nothing further is known of Shakespeare’s 

life until 1592, by which time he was sufficiently 

established as an actor and writer in London to be 

the target of a literary attack by a jealous fellow 

playwright, Robert Greene. Soon afterwards, an 

outbreak of plague forced the temporary closure of 

the theatres, and Shakespeare turned his attention 

instead to his long narrative poems Venus and 

Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece. He also began 

writing the Sonnets, a series of 154 love poems that 

many believe to be at least partly autobiographical. 

By 1594, Shakespeare was back in the theatre, 

writing and acting for the Lord Chamberlain’s 

Men. His income as one of the country’s most 

successful dramatists enabled him, in 1597, to buy a 

mansion back in Stratford, and in 1599 he became a 

shareholder in London’s newly built Globe Theatre. 

In 1603, Shakespeare’s company was awarded a 

royal patent, becoming known as the King’s Men. 

Possibly as early as 1610, the playwright retired 

to his home in Stratford-upon-Avon, living there 

until his death on April 23, 1616. He is buried in the 

town’s Holy Trinity Church. 

The Story 

As the play begins, Orlando, youngest son of 

the late Sir Rowland de Boys, complains to the 

family servant Adam that his eldest brother, 

Oliver, is denying him the opportunity to make 

his way in the world. When Oliver himself 

arrives, the two brothers quarrel violently. 

Meanwhile, another fraternal conflict has 

occurred at the highest level in the state: 

Duke Senior has been overthrown by his 

brother, Duke Frederick, and now lives in exile 

in the Forest of Arden with his loyal lords, who 

include the melancholy philosopher Jaques. 

When Duke Senior’s daughter, Rosalind, 

meets Orlando, the two fall in love – only to 

be separated when Duke Frederick banishes 

her. Fearing for his life, Orlando flees to the 

forest, as do Rosalind (protectively disguised 

as a young man), her cousin Celia (daughter 

of Duke Frederick) and the court fool, 

Touchstone. 

Unrecognized by Orlando, Rosalind makes 

full use of the opportunities afforded by 

her male disguise – but soon encounters 

unexpected complications.

Ideas and Insights 

ArcelorMittal Dofasco applauds the artists, artisans 

and sta� behind every outstanding experience at the 

Stratford Shakespeare Festival. 

Several Worlds At Once 

Shakespeare was the prince of paradox. Different 

worlds and even different universes coexist in his 

plays, creating rich thematic complexity. Consider 

the Forest of Arden. Some characters in As You 

Like It have French names – Amiens, Le Beau, 

Jaques de Boys – so is this meant to be the 

Ardennes? Or is it the Warwickshire region of Arden 

from which Shakespeare’s maternal family took 

their surname? Is it perhaps the Garden of Eden? 

Is it a harsh rustic landscape where food is scarce 

and the wind blows icy cold, or is it a dreamlike 

wonderland where palm trees and lions coexist and 

love flourishes? Is it, finally, no physical place at all 

but simply a state of mind? The answer to all these 

questions is yes. 

Time as well as place is 

paradoxical in this play. If 

you take careful note of 

chronological references 

in the text, you realize 

that the action occurs in 

seven days, mirroring the 

seven days of creation. 

(This is one of several 

riffs on the number seven 

that help create a kind of 

mythical landscape for 

this play: others include 

Jaques’s description of 

seven kinds of melancholy, 

Touchstone’s enumeration 

of the seven stages of a 

quarrel and, of course, 

Jaques’s famous speech 

on the seven ages of 

man.) Yet this same seven 

days’ action also seems 

to encompass more than 

one season, perhaps even 

spanning a full year. 

To some, this might look 

like authorial carelessness; 

CostuMe design for rosalind to me, it’s a brilliant 

By dana osBorne 

example of Shakespeare’s ability to depict several 

layers of reality at once. Clearly Arden is all those 

places, and more. And if one has any doubt that 

the time scheme of As You Like It is deliberately 

dual, one need only hear Rosalind discourse on 

time’s subjectivity: to a young woman awaiting her 

wedding day, seven days can seem like seven 

years. Indeed, time moves according to our own 

perception, and this is a fundamental truth of life 

that cannot be measured by the clock. 

Shakespeare could thus be said to have 

anticipated the artistic journeys into the irrational 

that would later be undertaken by the surrealists, 

absurdist and magic realists. Duke Frederick’s court 

reflects the violent times that Shakespeare lived 

through in the late 1590s. There were horrific public 

executions, duelling had become commonplace 

on the Strand, wars raged in Ireland, the Earl of 

Essex was becoming an increasing challenge 

to Elizabeth’s reign, and the threat of a second 

Armada from Spain was very much on the minds 

of Londoners. At the same time, the humanist 

movement thrived and the arts flourished. 

This is not unlike the dramatic political and social 

contradictions that followed World War I. In my 

discussions with scenic designer Debra Hanson, 

we chose as our setting the 1920s: an era that 

saw the rise both of surrealism and of extremist 

political movements – communism, anarchism and, 

of course, fascism – which opposed all progressive 

genres of art. Drawing inspiration from several 

artists of that period, including Dali and Magritte, as 

well as such contemporary artists as Glenn Brown, 

Debra and our artistic team have created their own 

surrealist landscape: an Arden of the imagination 

where art can flourish away from a repressive court 

– as, more importantly, can the love that nourishes 

us and sustains our lives. Love gives us the 

impression that our own time on earth is eternal, 

and while that’s clearly not true, it is nonetheless a 

great comfort and inspiration – especially in hard 

times.

The Birmingham Conservatory for Classical Theatre 

From General Director Antoni Cimolino and Artistic Director Des McAnuff 

Thirty-one members of the Stratford Shakespeare Festival’s 2010 company have come out of our 

professional training program, now known as the Birmingham Conservatory for Classical Theatre. 

Founded in 1998, the Conservatory has helped to launch the careers of some of our leading young 

actors, many of whom we have had the great pleasure of directing. Providing opportunities for young 

Canadian artists is part of our mission at the Festival, and we hope you will find it as satisfying as we 

do to watch their growth as they share the stage with some of the finest actors in the world. 

Under the leadership of Martha Henry, the Conservatory is made possible by the support of the Birmingham 

family, the Stratford Shakespeare Festival Endowment Foundation and the Department of Canadian Heritage. 

We thank them for helping us to nurture and support these talented artists in our 2010 company:
