We l c o m e t o the F estival !
festival S ta ff
Thank you for joining us for our 15th season of free
Shakespeare in Forest Park. Since 2001, we have
entertained over 560,000 people here in Shakespeare
Glen; we’ve reached an additional 280,000 students In
the Schools; and In the Streets, we’ve begun to connect
thousands of people to their neighbors in creative, new
ways. To celebrate these accomplishments, the Arts
& Education Council of Greater St. Louis recognized
the Festival with the 2015 Excellence in the Arts Award,
joining the likes of Opera Theatre of St. Louis, the
Saint Louis Art Museum, and the St. Louis Symphony.
Each year we have improved our capabilities and built upon our strengths to give
St. Louis a world-class theater-going experience in the world-class venue of Forest
Park. My thanks to our volunteers, donors, artists, craftspeople, and staff who commit
themselves to producing year-round programming In the Schools, In the Streets,
and In the Park. The diligence and professionalism of these people have allowed the
Festival to operate in a financially sound manner since our founding and strategically
positioned us to move boldly forward.
Since 2001, over 270 actors have trod across our stage, and since that first season,
we’ve used much of the original structure. With generous support from the William
T. Kemper Foundation – Commerce Bank, Trustee, the Gateway Foundation, and
Switch, this year’s cast is performing on a brand new staging platform that is more
efficient and environmentally-friendly.
Our Festival has attracted some of the best actors, directors, and designers in the
country, and with the support of our members and partners, we offer this Festival
at no cost to our audiences. Like our founders, we continue to believe that great art
should be accessible to all, and there is no other venue in our region that represents
community better than Forest Park. We are incredible grateful for the partnerships
we have with the City of St. Louis, Forest Park Forever, and all our neighbors.
I extend my thanks to the Board of Directors, whose leadership and foresight inspire
me daily. I add my particular thanks to Mont Levy, Jessica Holzer, and Chuck Miller,
who have each served as Board Chair during my tenure, and have been such important
partners in leading our organization.

Go Hear A Play
*Read the Synopsis on page 12 of this playbill
*Don’t just watch, listen closely (“audience” derives from a
Latin word meaning “to hear”)
*The audience is an active participant in the story:
use your imagination to “fill in the blanks” of the
action that either happens offstage or between scenes
*Actors often directly address the audience (they aren’t talking
to themselves)
*Actors frequently play multiple roles, changing costumes
throughout the show
words, words, words
*Shakespeare wrote in a poetic rhythm called iambic pentameter,
which sounds like a heartbeat
*The dialogue is also full of beautiful figures of speech, such
as rhetoric, antithesis, alliteration, metaphor, simile, and more
*Shakespeare will also repeat important phrases and events to
emphasize key details of the story
*The syntax of Shakespeare’s lines (the order in which words
are structured) can be difficult to understand for modern
audiences; think of it like listening to Yoda from the Star Wars
films: “Size matters not”

Abo ut Us
Inspired by R. Crosby Kemper, III,
the idea of a free Shakespeare festival
began in 1997, and with broad civic
support Shakespeare Festival St.
Louis received 501(c)(3) status in
December 1999. In 2001 Chairman
of the Board Marvin Moskowitz,
first Managing Director Lana Pepper,
and a visionary Board of community
leaders produced the first annual free
Shakespeare festival in Forest Park.
Since the initial two-week run that
attracted 33,000 audience members,
the Festival has grown into a yearround institution producing up to
250 public performances annually for
nearly 100,000 patrons and students.
Presenting Shakespeare and works inspired by Shakespeare, the Festival’s programs
are In the Schools, In the Streets, and In the Park. It is the only free, professional
theater in the St. Louis area, employing renowned national and regional artists
for the benefit of the community. Unlike other theaters in the region, the Festival
depends almost entirely on the contributions of individuals, foundations,
corporations, and public institutions. The Festival receives annual support from
the St. Louis Regional Arts Commission, the Missouri Arts Council, a state
agency, and the National Endowment for the Arts, among other organizations.
Today, the Festival is recognized as an arts and culture leader and has received
numerous awards including “Best Theatre Company,” “Most Innovative Arts
Organization,” and Exemplary Community Achievement from the Missouri
Humanities Council. In January 2015, the Festival received the Arts and Education
Council’s Excellence in the Arts Award.
F rom the D i r e c t o r
In 2001, I got to spend the last month of my senior year of
high school working as a production assistant on the first
Shakespeare Festival: Romeo and Juliet. It was the first time I’d
ever been in a rehearsal room with professional actors, the first
time I’d ever seen a design presentation, the first time I’d ever
been through a professional tech. When we moved into the
Park, the experience was just magical. Being outside, under
the stars, with thousands of people who had camped out to
watch and listen to Shakespeare together, was a thrilling kind
of theatre and community experience. I am incredibly grateful
for the opportunity to come home to St. Louis and return to
the Festival with this glorious and surprising play.
Antony and Cleopatra has been an exhilarating, challenging piece for all of us. It’s an
incredibly rich text: part love story, part political thriller, in moments a comedy, in others
a tragedy. On the page, it looks epic and sprawling, spanning multiple continents with
over 40 scenes, too many characters to remember, covering about a decade of history, not
to mention a love story in which the titular characters are barely onstage together for the
first half of the play, though their presence as a couple can be felt in almost every moment.
But this isn’t the Elizabeth Taylor movie. Shakespeare’s writing is surprisingly intimate,
and he irises in on the love, struggle, grit, and dirt of one single relationship, in a way
capturing nearly an entire marriage in just a few hours. These two people aren’t mythic,
larger-than-life celebrities: they’re exceptionally flawed and idiosyncratic. It is all, always,
painfully human.
Mark Antony and Cleopatra meet their true equal in one another. They each have a kind of
status, charisma, power, and responsibility that nearly no one else in their world has. But
it isn’t perfect. He’s already married, has a reputation as a womanizer, and she has trust
issues. They both have incredibly demanding jobs with actual life-and-death stakes, and
they live on different continents. When the play opens, they’re in a kind of honeymoon
period: he’s just told her he loves her for the first time, and as much as she wants to, she
can’t quite bring herself to believe it—but she’s going for it. And then, before they can even
spend much time together as a couple, he’s forced to leave, and they have to figure out how
to navigate a new long distance relationship (with no cell phones…) that puts them—and
entire empires—in impossible situations.
In this production, we’ve worked to strip away any pageantry and make it feel as immediate,
simple, visceral, and evocative as possible. To do these plays, you only need strong actors
who can handle the language and an audience. And with this play especially, I think the
fluidity of storytelling requires a kind of light touch in the physical and visual production.
This is a play that must be about the human beings at its center.
I hope you all enjoy the production as much as we’ve loved working on it, and I thank you
all for coming out to be a part of this with us.
All My Best,
Mike donahue

(in order of appearance)
Following the assassination of Julius Caesar and his defeat of Brutus and Cassius,
Mark Antony becomes one of the three rulers of the Roman Empire, together with
Octavius Caesar and Lepidus. In the course of overseeing the eastern half of the
empire, he falls in love with Cleopatra, the Queen of Egypt, and settles in Alexandria.
He is compelled by his irate fellow triumvirs to return to Rome when the empire is
threatened by the rebellion of Sextus Pompey, who attempts to revenge the defeat of
his father by Julius Caesar.

Octavius Caesar defeats Pompey and, incensed with Antony’s recent behavior,
declares war on both Antony and Cleopatra. When the Romans arrive, Antony
is offered a choice of how to fight and, despite being renowned as the world’s
greatest soldier, chooses to fight at sea. The Egyptian navy is inadequate, and when
Cleopatra’s navy turns and flees, Antony follows them and Caesar defeats him.
Antony despairs, blaming Cleopatra for leading him astray, but quickly forgives
her. The couple sends messages to Caesar: Antony requests to be allowed to live in
Egypt, while Cleopatra asks that her kingdom be passed down to her rightful heirs.

at her disloyalty. He forgives her moments later, and resolves to return to battle.
Philo/Soldier/Guard………………………………………………RYAN A. JACOBS
When Antony meets Caesar again at sea, the Egyptian fleet repeats their treachery,
leaving him to a tragic downfall. Antony vows to kill Cleopatra, so she goes to
her tomb and sends a message to Antony that she is already dead. Antony is
devastated and decides to kill himself. He botches the suicide, wounding himself
severely. His followers take him to Cleopatra’s tomb, where he dies in her arms.
Cleopatra’s life is in tatters. Without Antony and at the mercy of Caesar, she resolves
to commit suicide. She has her servant, Charmian, bring her poisonous snakes.
Caesar arrives just after her death and orders that the two lovers be buried together.

Students are engaged and challenged while
enhancing their ability to read, perform, and enjoy
Shakespeare through the Festival’s education
programs. Our Education Tour productions,
workshops, and study materials have a 14-year legacy
of success, including awards and accolades from
educators across the state, and beyond. In 2015, our
touring company brought 50-minute adaptations of
Antony and Cleopatra and The Two Gentlemen of Verona
to nearly 10,000 students in Missouri and Illinois.

In addition to the Tour, the Festival offers a variety of educational programming
including workshops, advanced teen performance training, Metro Youth
Shakespeare, and summer camps. The goal of all of these programs is to
provide only the highest quality theater education to inspire people of all ages to
creatively engage with, explore, and delight in the works of William Shakespeare.

SHAKE 38 has just one rule: Make Shakespeare’s 38 plays happen any way
you see fit. Since its first year in 2010, SHAKE 38 has grown from a 38-hour
marathon to a free, five-day community event showcasing all of Shakespeare’s
plays with dozens of diverse community partners. From rooftops to salons
to artists’ lofts, SHAKE 38 happens in unlikely places all across St. Louis.

Monsanto Fund is proud to support
Shakespeare Festival as they bring to life
the timeless characters and themes of the
poet’s work for students across Missouri.
Shakespeare in the Streets is a grassroots theatrical experience that invites St.
Louis neighborhoods to tell their community stories. A Festival-selected creative
team leads a neighborhood in developing an original play based on one of
Shakespeare’s works – a play with themes that reflect the community’s character.
September 17-19, we will take to the streets of Old North St. Louis.

Shakespeare Festival St. Louis gratefully acknowledges all the members whose support
has allowed us to bring the great gift of theater to the community. Donations and gifts
in-kind listed were given between May 2, 2014 and May 6, 2015.
We’re evolved creatures, thriving in a charged
atmosphere created by fuzzy ideas slamming into
hard realities. The byproduct is a problem-solving
approach that liberates ideas from the shackles
of doubt and charges them with action. In a place
where brands are challenged to put up or shut up,
we hand out bullhorns.
