FROM THE DIRECTORSteve Umberger

An aging father trying to find his way in the dark. A leader being forced toexamine what he's done, or not done. A daughter who speaks the truth, regardlessof the consequences. A friend who perseveres even when he is shunned. A sonwhose need for recognition drives him to unthinkable actions. The people in KingLear are closer to us than their crowns and gowns may suggest at a glance. In a waythey are icons of the fundamental struggles of light and dark in all of us, and forevery era over the past 400 years including (and maybe especially) ours, the play hasbeen been a mirror of the times, and for the tension between self and “selfless.”My friend, the late Dennis Kay, in his book Shakespeare, contrasted Lear’s stark andgraceless reign with the peace and prosperity of the time in which the play waswritten. He theorized that Lear may have been Shakespeare’s way of reminding usthat there are two sides of the coin. Life can be kind or unforgiving, societies can bewhole or fractured, governments can unify or destroy — all depending certainly onchance, but also perhaps more on choice than we are prepared to admit, or evencomprehend. Here in 2010 — in this portal of history-making politics, with manychoices to be made about values, economics, leadership, and with a need forharmony, or at least humanity, to prevail — King Lear again gives us a lens throughwhich we can, if not see clearly, at least look more closely.

FROM THE DRAMATURGElizabeth Pool

When William Shakespeare put pen to paper in 1605 (or 1606, we don’t knowfor sure) to write King Lear, the story of the aging monarch was already familiar tohis audience. You could almost say that for Shakespeare’s audience the story wastimeless. From the nobles to the groundlings, most knew of the mythological storyof a king named Lear and his plan to divide his kingdom according to which of histhree daughters loves him the most. A king referred to as Ler, Leir, or Lyr can befound in British and Irish mythology. And the core King Lear story appears inHistoria Regum Britanniae, Mirrors for Magistrates, and Chronicles of England,Scotland, and Ireland, all written prior to 1605. The sub-plot involving the Duke ofGloucester echoes the story in The Countess of Pembroke’s Arcadia written in 1590.

The theme of succession was timely and much on the minds of Shakespeare’saudience. King Lear was initially performed on December 26, 1606 before the courtof King James I. In 1603 Queen Elizabeth I died after ruling for 45 years. As herdeath was approaching, her aides worked in secret to ensure a smooth transition ofpower. As she had no heirs, she appointed James I as her successor. Even thoughthe monarch represented in King Lear ruled many years before Shakespeare’scontemporaries, themes in the play would have resonated as timely.

So what happened to King Lear after it premiered in 1606? It is recognized today,with Hamlet, Othello, and Macbeth as one of Shakespeare’s great tragedies. Between1606 and 2010 did it continue to be performed as a great, tragic work, resonatingwith audiences as a timeless work of art? It did not. In 1681 Nahum Tate, an Irishpoet and lyricist, rewrote Shakespeare’s King Lear, giving it a happy ending. In Tate’s

ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHTWilliam Shakespeare

William Shakespeare was born in April of 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon, Englandto John Shakespeare, a successful glove maker and Mary Arden, the daughter of awealthy landowner. It is believed, although not documented, that Shakespeareattended a local grammar school which would have included intensive study of Latinand the classics. In 1582 Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway, when he was 18 andshe was 26 and they had three children: Susanna, born in 1583, and twins Hamnetand Judith, born in 1585. The years from 1585 to 1592 are known as Shakespeare’s“lost years,” as there is no record of his whereabouts or actions during this time. By1592 his plays were appearing on the London stage. Shakespeare worked as an actorand writer with The Lord Chamberlin’s Men, an acting company under theprotection of Queen Elizabeth I and in 1599 he became part owner of the famousGlobe Theatre. King Lear, written in 1605-1606 and first performed on December26, 1606, is considered one of Shakespeare’s great tragedies (with Hamlet, Othello,and Macbeth.) Shakespeare retired to Stratford in 1610 and died on April 23, 1616.He was survived by Anne and his two daughters, Susanna and Judith. Shakespeare isburied in the chancel of Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon.Shakespeare’s extant works consist of 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrativepoems and several other poems. His plays have been translated into every majorliving language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.

version Cordelia doesn’t die, Lear and Kent go off into the woods together, there isno Fool, and there is no King of France. For almost 150 years, Tate’s version of KingLear was the most widely performed version of the play. From 1810 to 1820 theplay was banned from the stage in England for fear that audiences would note aparallel between Lear and the madness of King George III. For the audiences of1810, the story was apparently not timeless, but too immediately relevant.

It was not until the 1830s that Shakespeare’s King Lear came back to the stage,restored to its original text. Through the early 20th century Hamlet was consideredShakespeare’s greatest tragedy. That is until the gruesomeness and violence ofWorld War II. In a world that suddenly included the fallout of nuclear war, thetragedy of King Lear became instantly relevant. The play about a King driven tomadness by existential despair, even though he lived and ruled thousands of yearsbefore, became incredibly timely. What makes King Lear significant and pertinentto us today, is directly connected to what makes it timeless.

KING LEAR: A SYNOPSISThe aging King Lear gathers his daughters to divide his kingdom. He asks each

to express how much they love him in order to determine which portion of landthey will receive. Goneril and Regan both speak eloquently about their love fortheir father. The youngest child, Cordelia, claims to love her father in accordancewith her bond as his daughter. Enraged, the King divides the kingdom between thetwo eldest and their respective husbands, leaving Cordelia with nothing. When theEarl of Kent tries to intercede, Lear banishes him. Cordelia leaves with the King ofFrance, who honors his offer of marriage despite the fact that she is now dowerless.

Edmund, the bastard son of the Earl of Gloucester plots against his brotherEdgar, the favored and legitimate son of Gloucester.

The King is an unwelcome guest with both Goneril, and her husband the Dukeof Albany, and Regan, and her husband the Duke of Cornwall. Kent, who isserving the King in disguise is put in the stocks by Cornwall for his rudeness. Thetwo sisters join forces against their father, denying him his 100 knights andinsisting he live under their care. In a fit of rage he sets out into the stormy night.After ordering Gloucester, the king’s loyal aide, to leave Lear to the elements, thedaughters shut up the doors to the castle.

Continuing with his plot, Edmund forces Edgar to flee and cuts himself to makeit look as if Edgar injured him. Edgar is now an outcast and to further disguisehimself he assumes the persona of a Tom of Bedlam, a lunatic beggar.

Gloucester tells Edmund that he has received a letter indicating that Frenchforces have landed and the King will be revenged. He asks Edmund to keep hisconfidence and he goes to attend the King on the heath.

On the heath the King has met Edgar, disguised as Poor Tom. Lear is captivatedby Poor Tom’s ramblings. The King holds a mock trial of Goneril and Regan.Gloucester tells Kent that he has arranged for the King to be transported to Dover,where he should be safe under French protection.

Edmund betrays his father by showing Cornwall the letter. Gloucester isbrought before Goneril, Regan, and Cornwall and questioned about the letter andevents at Dover. Cornwall gouges out Gloucester’s eyes. Cornwall is wounded by aservant attempting to defend Gloucester. Cornwall and Regan order Gloucester,

HISTORYNow in our 35th season, the People’s Light & Theatre Company is a non-

profit, professional theatre founded in 1974 by Danny Fruchter, Meg Fruchter,Ken Marini, and Dick Keeler. These artists were committed to making theatrerooted in service to the community with artists who lived in the community.Today, this founding principle remains central to People’s Light through ourmission and programming. Our mission is to make plays drawn from manysources to entertain, inspire and engage our community. We hope that theseplays and programs bring people together and provide opportunities forreflection, discovery and celebration.

We extend our mission through arts education programs that excitecuriosity about and deepen understanding of the world around us. Our artistic

ensemble engages in significantcommunity collaboration andcontinues to make connections withnew audiences through our nationallyrecognized arts education program,Project Discovery. This programserves 30,000 young people each yearthrough in-school residencies, studentmatinees that bring students from 20high schools to the theatre twice each

year for free, special projects tailored to specific youth communities, and ayear-round Theatre School for both young people and adults. We house guestartists in a restored 18th-century farmhouse that includes a banquet room thatcan be rented for special events, as well as a bistro, Places! Total communityserved is nearly 85,000 annually. Our $5 million annual budget employs 70full and permanent part-time artists and staff members and almost 200additional guest artists.

People’s Light has always made its home in Chester County. In 1979 theTheatre moved to our current seven-acre site in Malvern, which includes two blackbox theatres with 375 and 180 seats, respectively. We produce seven to nine playsper season, mixing world premieres, contemporary plays, and fresh approaches toclassic texts for our 6-Play Series and Family Discovery Series. The Theatrecontinues to be recognized nationally for commissioning new plays; of the 338productions we have mounted over the course of our 35-year history, 122 wereworld/regional premieres, over one-third of our production output. Recentcommissions that have received world-premiere performances at People’s Lightwere Y York’s adaptation of Jerry Spinelli’s Eggs, Russell Davis’ The Day of thePicnic, the adaptation and translation of Luigi Pirandello’s Six Characters in Searchof an Author by company member Louis Lippa; Playwright Russell Davis’adaptation of Crispin: The Cross of Lead by Avi; and Y York’s adaptation of GettingNear to Baby by Audrey Couloumbis, which was just remounted at Childsplay inTempe, Arizona and is soon to be produced at Seattle Children’s Theatre.

Notable past productions include Lou Lippa’s two-part, six-hour adaptationof Theodore Dreiser’s Sister Carrie, Karen Sunde’s Achilles: A Kabuki Play (bothworld premieres), and The Gospel at Colonus by Bob Telson and Lee Breuer.American premieres include: Edward Kemp’s translation of Gotthold Lessing’sNathan the Wise, David Hare’s adaptation of Brecht’s The Life of Galileo, GrimmTales, Beauty and the Beast, and More Grimm Tales from London’s Young Vic.Our productions have toured as close to home as Philadelphia (Holes at theKimmel Center in 2005) and as far away as Mexico, Budapest, and Cyprus.
