A Cosmos of Creativity 

Shakespeare lies at the centre of our dramatic 

universe. Here at Stratford, we celebrate him in 

our theatres by honouring honouring his text and by by placing 

it in the context of the work of his predecessors, 

contemporaries and successors, so we can better 

understand his breathtaking achievement. In doing 

so, we range freely through the best and most 

enduring works of the dramatic canon. 

This season, you can explore the diversity of 

Shakespeare’s genius in three such very diff diff erent erent 

plays as Macbeth, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and 

Julius Caesar. You also have a rare opportunity 

to compare his work to that of his friend and 

rival Ben Jonson, whose Bartholomew Fair is a 

brilliant satire of life in London, Shakespeare’s 

adopted city, or with that of Jean Racine, 

whose Phèdre is searing drama from a diff erent 

dramatic tradition. Both these plays are 

masterpieces in their own right – and to see 

them performed is to discover how radical 

are the diff erences between the world’s 

greatest playwright and his nearest peers. 

Shakespeare’s unprecedented 

exploration of the human comedy paved 

the way for such subsequent dramatists 

as Anton Chekhov, Edmond Rostand and 

Oscar Wilde, whose work also features on our 

stages this season. His infl uence reveals itself 

even in our two musicals, one of which shares 

its ancestry with The Comedy of Errors while the 

other draws directly on Romeo and Juliet. 

Our own writers here in Canada owe no less to 

Shakespeare and the extraordinary creative ferment 

of his age. George F. Walker’s Canadian classic 

Zastrozzi uses the Jacobean revenge tragedy as its 

point of departure, while Sunil Kuruvilla’s Rice Boy, 

newly revised for our production, is rooted, like 

some of Shakespeare’s greatest plays, in the tensions 

between parents and children. So too is Morris 

Panych’s The Trespassers, a brand-new play that 

receives its world première here this season. 

We are delighted to welcome you to this, our 

57th season. We hope you will enjoy exploring with 

us the astonishingly varied dramatic universe that 

Shakespeare helped to create and that will always 

honour him as its centre.

“Remember you are but 

Adam, flesh and blood” 

by Alexander Leggatt 

Held in the heat of late August in the disreputable 

London suburb of Smithfield, the Fair that gives 

Jonson’s play its title is a feast for the senses: food, 

drink, songs, trinkets and sex are all for sale. At the 

centre is the pig-tent run by the Gargantuan pigwoman 

Ursla, whose sweating flesh embodies the 

steamy atmosphere in which she works, and whose

tent, besides selling ale and roast pork, doubles as 

a privy and a brothel. Jonson dramatizes both the 

carnival energy of the Fair and its gritty commercial 

side. Ursla gives her attendant Mooncalf a detailed 

lecture on the fine art of cheating customers; and we 

hear that the ingredients of Joan Trash’s gingerbread 

are “stale bread, rotten eggs, musty ginger, and dead

honey.” As the ballad-singer Nightingale entertains 

the crowd, the cutpurse Edgworth moves among 

them, plying his trade. 

Though four centuries separate us from Jonson’s 

world, the Fair is a place we can still recognize: 

for us it calls up memories of hot lights, candy 

floss, calliope music, big fuzzy stuffed bears, hot 

dogs whose ingredients we would prefer not to 

know about and, in the thickest part of the crowd, 

pickpockets. Its climactic entertainment is a puppet 

show in which a classic love story is reduced to 

raucous obscenity. Rowdy, sleazy and dangerous, it 

provokes the question: who would want to go there? 

The answer, it seems, is nearly everybody. The play 

opens in a Puritan household, a place we might 

think was as far removed as it could be from the 

carnival licentiousness of the Fair. But even in that 

household the Fair exerts a magnetic pull. Littlewit, 

author of the puppet play, wants to see it performed, 

and circumvents his Puritan in-laws by getting his 

pregnant wife, Win, to pretend a longing for roast 

pig so that they can visit the Fair for the sake of her 

health. The family’s resident spiritual advisor, Zealof-the-Land 

Busy, not only goes along with the idea 

but goes along to the Fair, where he plans to indulge 

in his two favourite pastimes: “I will eat exceedingly, 

and prophesy.” Littlewit has drawn up a licence for 

the marriage of Bartholomew Cokes and Grace 

Wellborn, but Cokes, an amiable idiot with a thirtysecond 

attention span and a childlike delight in 

everything around him, is more interested in going 

to the Fair than in his approaching marriage. Cokes’s 

servant Wasp, whose futile attempts to control his 

master leave him in a state of perpetual rage, and 

Grace, who is too dignified for the Fair, both resist 

going; but they are swept along by the tide. Two 

men-about-town, Quarlous and Winwife, go along 

as the audience does, to watch the fun. And besides, 

they both have their eyes on Grace. 

Everyone, in short, goes to the Fair, whether they 

want to or not, and it is not just an afternoon’s 

outing after which normal life resumes. Virtually 

everyone who goes there is in some way 

transformed, sometimes in ways that reveal a 

disconcerting affinity between clean-living London 

and disreputable Smithfield. Two respectable city 

wives are recruited as prostitutes, and Jonson drops 

hints that their new roles are just a more direct 

expression of the lives of women in the conventional 

world. At the start of the play, Littlewit shows off 

3

4 

his wife’s charms and invites his friends to kiss her. 

When she protests, he tells her to “be womanly.” 

Grace Wellborn, explaining how she came to be 

the ward of Justice Overdo (more of him later), says 

bluntly, “He bought me.” Claims of immunity collapse. 

Wasp and Busy violently denounce the Fair, and 

find themselves right at home in it. The Fair is full of 

noises, and Wasp and Busy, both formidable noisemakers 

(though Busy insists his is “a sanctified noise”), 

join right in. Grace has stood aloof from the Fair, but 

decides who will marry her by making herself the 

prize in a game of chance. 

Paradoxically, the one character who seems 

untouched is Cokes. His experience in the Fair is a 

catalogue of losses – his sword, his cloak, two purses, 

the woman he was going to marry, a handkerchief, 

a collection of hobby-horses and gingerbread – but 

his innocent delight in the Fair is such that none of 

these losses touches him for long. As the cutpurse 

Edgworth remarks, “A man might cut out his kidneys, 

I think, and he never feel ’em.” 

Given that much of the Fair’s activity is borderline 

criminal, and sometimes crosses the border, where 

is the law? It too is absorbed into the Fair, in the 

person of Justice Adam Overdo, who moves through 

the play in disguise, spying on what he calls its 

“enormities” and building up to a great judgement 

scene at the end in which he will denounce the 

wrongdoers and rescue the innocent. Except that 

he gets the wrongdoers and the innocent muddled 

up; he is beaten and put in the stocks, where he is 

joined by Wasp and Busy, who have also denounced 

the Fair (in this play those who sit as judges end up 

sitting as criminals); and his big judgement scene at 

the end does not go as planned, to put it mildly. 

There is one character who defers to authority: the 

madman Trouble-all, a former court officer whose 

mind snapped when Overdo fired him, and who 

will now do nothing, including dressing himself, 

drinking and urinating, without Justice Overdo’s 

warrant. Overdo’s principal disguise is that of Mad 

Arthur of Bradley, a local eccentric known in the Fair 

as an extempore orator; Overdo has enough wit to 

enjoy the irony of being “a Justice in the habit of 

a fool,” but the disguise is closer to his true nature 

than he realizes, and through Overdo and Troubleall 

Jonson suggests that behind the respectable face of 

authority lie folly and madness. 

On the other hand, the people of the Fair, though 

Jonson never sentimentalizes them, show a

surprising capacity to pull together and help each 

other when trouble strikes. They may be a temporary 

community, but they are a community. And their 

appeal to the physical side of life makes us confront 

a basic truth about ourselves. Quarlous at the end of 

the play tells Adam Overdo: “Remember you are but 

Adam, flesh and blood! . . . Forget your other name 

of Overdo, and invite us all to supper.” Overdo agrees, 

and the final promise of a communal feast in which 

everyone will join reminds us that what we have in 

common is the body, with its appetites, its exposure 

to pain and sickness, and its tendency to embarrass 

us at inconvenient moments. The Fair deals in flesh 

and blood, particularly flesh, and to that reality 

no one, not even the most respectable theatre 

audience, is immune. 

Alexander Leggatt is professor emeritus of English at the 

University of Toronto. 

The Story 

On the morning of the annual Bartholomew’s Day 

fair, proctor John Littlewit is visited by Ned Winwife 

and his companion Tom Quarlous. Winwife is wooing 

Littlewit’s widowed mother-in-law, Dame Purecraft; 

he has a rival, however, in the form of a Puritan 

named Zeal-of-the-Land Busy. 

Next arrives Humphrey Wasp, manservant to 

Bartholomew Cokes. Cokes intends to wed Grace 

Wellborn, the ward of his brother-in-law Justice 

Adam Overdo, and Wasp has come to pick up the 

marriage licence. Cokes himself then appears, 

accompanied by Grace and Mistress Overdo, and 

announces his desire to visit the fair. The entire 

party, including Littlewit, who has written a puppet 

show to be performed there, decide to go as well. 

Meanwhile, unknown to all the others, Justice 

Overdo also goes to the fair – in disguise, so that he 

may see for himself what “enormities” are perpetrated 

upon its grounds. 

Soon, all these fairgoers are swept up in the 

crimes and confusions of a world inhabited by the 

likes of the ruffian Jordan Knockem, the cutpurse 

Ezekiel Edgworth and the pig-woman Ursla. By the 

end of the day, none remain untouched by their 

experiences. 

Ben Jonson – playwright 

Benjamin Jonson was 

born in June 1572, a 

month after the death of 

his father, a minister. He 

attended Westminster 

School but was unable 

to afford a university 

education. Instead, he 

became apprentice 

to his stepfather, a 

bricklayer. He soon 

left this employment, 

however, to join the English Expeditionary Force 

in Flanders, where he claimed to have killed an 

opponent in single combat. In 1594, he married Anne 

Lewis, who bore him four children, none of whom 

survived childhood. 

By 1597, Jonson had become an actor in London 

and had begun writing plays for the theatre 

manager Philip Henslowe. In 1598, he was arrested 

for killing fellow actor Gabriel Spencer in a duel and 

narrowly escaped hanging – though he was fined 

and branded on his thumb. The same year saw his 

first big success as a playwright, Every Man in His 

Humour, followed in 1599 by a sequel, Every Man out 

of His Humour. 

Jonson was imprisoned for his outspokenness in 

the 1604 satire Eastward Ho! which he co-wrote with 

George Chapman and John Marston. He also wrote 

two Roman tragedies, Sejanus (1603), the content 

of which brought him before the Privy Council to 

answer charges of treason, and Catiline (1611). His 

finest works, though, are considered to be the four 

great comedies Volpone (1606), Epicoene (1609), The 

Alchemist (1610) and Bartholomew Fair (1614). 

Despite his brushes with the law, Jonson became 

a favourite at the court of King James I, where, in 

partnership with the designer Inigo Jones, he became 

the era’s greatest deviser of the spectacular form 

known as the masque. In 1616, the year he published a 

collected edition of his works, he was granted a royal 

pension and became unofficial poet laureate. 

After Charles I replaced James on the throne in 

1625, Jonson ceased to be a regular provider of 

masques. He was appointed to the post of city 

chronologer in 1628, but the same year suffered the 

first in a series of strokes that left him paralysed. He 

died on August 6, 1637, at the age of 65, and is buried 

in Westminster Abbey, where a marble plaque bears 

the inscription “O Rare Ben Jonson.”

Ideas and Insights

ArcelorMittal applauds the artists, artisans and staff behind every 

outstanding experience at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival. 

A Kaleidoscope of Colourful 

Characters 

Bartholomew Fair is a brilliant satire of class and 

character in Jacobean London. But far from 

being bitter, it is a very warm and deliciously 

funny argument for tolerance. This warmth and 

inclusiveness, this humanity, have made me fall in 

love with the play. 

Ben Jonson was a deeply ambiguous individual. 

He aspired to be the court poet and moral arbiter 

of the age, yet his plays document the life of the 

grittiest aspect of the criminal class. He himself killed 

a fellow actor during a fight on the street. This was a 

man who was full of life, and his plays demonstrate 

that vibrancy. His love of language mirrored the 

contradictions in his character. Jonson believed 

personal corruption bled into one’s grammar and 

speech. Consequently, while he was capable of 

writing beautifully lyrical passages, his special talent 

was to write the most hilariously tortured syntax and 

scatological invective ever created. 

This is an amazingly detailed and complex work – 

yet it gives the reader or audience member a feeling 

of chaotic improvisation. It is like a kaleidoscope in 

that it moves a group of extraordinarily colourful 

characters into a seemingly infinite number of 

groupings. These movements break up the normal 

societal cliques and expose the individuals to new 

influences, opportunities and temptations. We 

thereby discover the truth at the heart of them all.

The Birmingham Conservatory for Classical Theatre 

From Artistic Director Des McAnuff 

Twenty-seven members of Stratford’s 2009 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 I 

have had the great pleasure of directing. Providing opportunities for young Canadian artists is part of 

our mission at the Festival, and I 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, as they do in the production you will 

see today. 

Now 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. Antoni Cimolino and I thank them for helping us to nurture and support these 

talented artists who participate in 10 productions in our 2009 season:

For assistance 

See the house manager or any theatre 

staff. We’re here to help. 

In case of emergency 

Theatres and exits are equipped with 

emergency lighting. Our staff are trained 

in evacuation procedures. You are 

requested to follow their instructions 

and remain calm. You will be directed 

to a meeting area, where you are to 

remain unless otherwise advised by staff 

or emergency personnel. If you discover 

a fire, you should activate the nearest 

fire alarm and, immediately following 

evacuation, identify yourself to a staff 

member and provide details. 

Cameras, cell phones and snacks 

Please enjoy your snacks outside the 

auditorium and bring only bottled water 

inside. Cameras are not permitted. Please 

double-check that your cell phone is 

turned off. 

First aid 

See an usher or house manager. 

Automated external defibrillators (AED) 

are located in the lobbies and balconies 

of the Festival, Avon, Tom Patterson and 

Studio theatres. 

In the interest of safety 

Please do not walk on the stage.
