robinson JeFFers (Author, Medea) was a poet and
author born in 1887 in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, (now part
of Pittsburgh). His father, a professor of Old Testament
Literature and Biblical History, supervised his education,
and Robinson began to learn Greek at the age of five.
His early lessons were soon followed by travel in Europe,
which included schooling at Zurich, Leipzig, and Geneva.
When the family moved to California, Jeffers, at age 16,
entered Occidental College as a junior. He graduated at 18
and immediately entered graduate school as a student of
literature at the University of Southern California, where,
in a class on Faust, he met another strong influence on his
intellectual development: Una Call Kuster, who would later
become his wife. After marrying in 1913, Jeffers and Kuster
moved to Carmel, California, and in 1919 Jeffers began
building a stone cottage on land overlooking Carmel Bay
and facing Point Lobos. Near the cottage, he built a 40-foot
stone tower. Both the structures and the location figure
strongly in Jeffers’s life and poetry. Jeffers’ verse, much
of which is set in the Carmel/Big Sur region, celebrates the
awesome beauty of coastal hills and ravines. His poetry
often praises “the beauty of things” in this setting, but also
emphasizes his belief that such splendor demands tragedy.
As Euripides had, Jeffers began to focus more on his own
characters' psychologies and on social realities than on
the mythic. The human dilemmas of Phaedra, Hippolytus,
and Medea fascinated him, and his adaptation of Medea
was a great success when it was produced in New York in
1948. Robinson Jeffers died in 1962.
riCharD Wilbur (Author, The School for Wives) was
born in New York City and received his B.A. from Amherst
College and an M.A. from Harvard. He has taught on the
faculties of Harvard, Wellesley, Wesleyan, and Smith. Mr.
Wilbur’s publications include six volumes of poetry and two
collections of his selected verse, a volume of his collection
verse, translations of Molière’s four most outstanding verse
plays, the musical Candide, for which he supplied most
of the lyrics, a collection of his prose, and two books for
children. His highly praised verse translations of Molière’s
plays The Misanthrope, Tartuffe, The School for Wives, and
The Learned Ladies have all been performed in New York
and are frequently presented by resident theater companies
throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, and Great
Britain, including productions at Stratford, Ontario, and
the National Theatre in London. He has also completed
verse translations of two of Racine’s great tragedies,
Andromache and Phaedra. Among Mr. Wilbur’s awards are
two Pulitzer Prizes, a National Book Award, Edna St. Vincent
Millay Award, Bollingen Award, Ford Foundation Award,
Guggenheim Fellowship, and Prix de Rome Fellowship.
He has served as both Chancellor and President of the
American Academy of Arts and Letters. In 1987 he was
named the second Poet Laureate of the United States,
succeeding Robert Penn Warren.

Greece, c. 400 BC
In 2015, staging Euripides’ Medea in the basement of a theater is a little unconventional
compared to other contemporary productions. But compared to the way it would have
been presented in Ancient Greece, the differences in staging are even more striking.
While no two Ancient Greek
theaters were exactly alike, there
are certain things that we have
found to be common factors over
centuries of archeological research.
First and foremost, we know that
most Greek theater was performed
outdoors in a structure called an
“amphitheater.” The amphitheater
featured a circular stage known as
an “orchestra” and was surrounded
on three sides by auditorium seating
called the “theatron.” On the fourth
side of the orchestra would be
the “skene,” a small house-like
structure that served to hide actors
from the audience, house props
and machinery, and possibly even
act as a dressing room.

The Ancient Greeks obviously did not have the ample scenic technology that we have
today, but what they were able to accomplish was not unimpressive. Many theaters had
rolling platforms, known as “eccyclemae,” that could move actors or pieces of scenery
on and offstage. Another interesting innovation were the “periaktoi,” which were tall,
three-sided platforms that had different scenery painted on each side and would rotate
to indicate a change of location. A version of this technology is actually still used today
on some billboards. Most notably, however, was the “machina,” a machine that could
raise and lower a basket or platform from the orchestra to the top of the skene, and vice
versa. As many plays at some point or another included intervention from the gods, this
machine allowed them to physically ascend and descend. Or, for a more immediate
example, productions of Medea typically ended with Medea appearing above the stage
in the chariot of the sun god Helios.
France, 1662
Almost two-thousand years later and as many miles away, Molière’s The school for Wives
premiered to great acclaim at the Theatre du Palais-Royal in Paris. The theater had opened
just twenty years earlier after being commissioned by Cardinal Richelieu, and Molière’s
troupe was one of the first to perform there.
Performance spaces had evolved quite a bit since the days of Ancient Greece, and the
Theatre du Palais-Royal was no exception. The theater was indoors, ornately decorated,
and designed much like the theater we are still familiar with today—a rectangular stage
framed by a proscenium arch at one end of the building, with the audience facing the
stage from the other end. Stages in those days, however, were raked, or on an angle.
The farther upstage (away from the audience) a performer walked, the more elevated
they would be. Scenery, in a similar vein, was designed in perspective. Moveable drops,
wings, and borders would frame the stage, depicting scenery that receded away from the
audience as it traveled upstage, giving the illusion of greater depth. Because of this design,
18
Da l l a s The ater Ce nter
however, the majority of the action had to take place on the very front of the stage, or the
apron – not only for increased visibility, but also to maintain the illusion of perspective.
If the actors travelled too far upstage, they would appear giant next to scenery that had
been painted to look very small and far away.
Most plays in this era took place in one of several locations: libraries, courtyards, palaces,
etc. Because these locations were so common, many theaters simply kept stock scenery
to reuse for every show. Although DTC’s set is not recycled from older shows (we promise!),
you will notice that The school for Wives does set itself in some of these “stock” locations.
Dallas, 2015
Both onstage and below the stage, bold new productions of Ancient Greek and 17th
century French classics are being presented at the historic Kalita Humphreys Theater.
Home to the Dallas Theater Center for over fifty years, the Kalita was designed by Frank
Lloyd Wright, one of the most influential American architects in history. Wright valued the
unification of form and function and the aesthetic relationship between a building and its
natural surroundings, and consequently created a very unique theater space—and not
only because it was one of only three theaters he ever designed. The building, set right
next to the lovely Turtle Creek and William B. Dean Park, takes a cue from the nature
around it and contains absolutely no right angles (the only exceptions being where the
walls meet the ceiling and the floor).
The theater space itself, currently housing our production of The school for Wives, made
the bold move of eliminating the proscenium arch and thrusting the stage out into the
audience, thus uniting the stage and the auditorium and creating an intimate relationship
for the performers and audience. The basement below, where Medea is being presented,
was originally designed with two large ramps that were meant for the ease of transportation
of large pieces of scenery. Today, only one ramp remains in use, and has in fact been
transformed into a stage.

CHAMBLEE FERGUSON
and the
DELIGHTFULLY
CHALLENGING
RHYTHM OF REP
Brierley Resident Acting Company member and
Dallas audience favorite ChAMBlee FeRguSOn
is very busy these days. not only is he playing
Aegeus in euripides’ Medea, but he is also—
simultaneously—undertaking one of the biggest
roles of his career: Arnolphe in Molière’s The School
for Wives. DTC education and Community Programs
Apprentice laura Colleluori sat down with him to
talk about working in repertory, confronting the
classics, and learning all of those lines.
Laura: As an actor, I’m assuming it’s different to work in repertory as opposed to only focusing on one
show. Could you speak a little bit to how it’s different, or how your job changes?
Chamblee: Well, this is not exactly the typical repertory situation, at least in my experience. I’ve got such
a huge role in one show and a very small role in the other, so I’m really just concentrating more or less
on one show. But traditionally, I’ve worked in rep a number of times over the years, and it’s delightfully
challenging because you have to work fairly quickly. You’ve got half a day for one show and half a
day for the other show, usually. So you have to really keep on your toes with regard to your mind and
your study and your memorization and all of that kind of stuff, but it does keep you fresh. And actually,
because it’s been a number of years since I’ve done rep, I think it’s really much more well-suited for
when you’re young than when you’re old.
Laura: So when you’re working in rep, in terms of workload, it’s a lot because you’re working on two
shows at once in the amount of time that you would typically have for just one show. But do you find
that in terms of content, or your relationship to or understanding of the shows, that you are finding
connections between the two shows as you’re working on them?
Chamblee: Constantly. We’re doing that here. Kevin has even said that these two shows weren’t
consciously chosen because there were rich, interlaced tapestries between the two of them, but we’re
finding them every single day. And you’re just like, “Wow, I never thought of that! We’re wise, aren’t we,
to have chosen to put these plays together!”
Laura: I know you guys take a little bit of a break before you move from one show to the next, but is it
challenging to switch gears between the two plays every day?
Chamblee: It is challenging. I’ve found that, for me, going from Medea to School for Wives is more difficult.
It takes some time to find the rhythm and the sense of it because we were in a totally different style,
totally different flavor, totally different mood in the previous show. Sometimes it takes me an entire
scene before I’m like, “Oh, I remember this now.”
Laura: That’s interesting—I wasn’t even thinking about mood, but that must be strange as well to start
with something as heavy as Medea and then have to elevate yourself to a much more comic place for
School's Arnolphe.
Chamblee: Yeah. I suspect that when we move to our regular schedule we will probably rehearse School
for the first part of the day and Medea in the evening.
Laura: So when you switch from The School for Wives to Medea, is it almost a relief in some ways?
Chamblee: Oh yeah, it’s definitely a relief for a number of reasons. One is obviously that it’s smaller, but two
is that I think that role is actually closer to me than Arnolphe is. Arnolphe is a little more elevated, I think
the rhyme and verse does that, and the elevation detaches you a little bit from it. I think that Aegeus, who
20
Da l l a s The ater Ce nter
I play in Medea, is a little closer to me and doesn’t take quite as much energy—it’s not rhyming meter, so
I can take more time with my lines. Now, it is still structured differently, because [Brierley Resident Acting
Company member Sally Vahle, playing Medea] and I have a lot of shared lines—she’ll begin a line and I have
to come in right on top of that. So that rhythm does need to be pretty crisp. But it will definitely be a relief.
Laura: What is the biggest challenge for you this time around, particularly with the huge role of Arnolphe?
Chamblee: Just the amount of lines. I think this is the biggest line load I’ve ever had in my career. I think
it’s more than Prospero in The Tempest, or Tranio in Taming of the Shrew, who actually has more lines than
any other person in the play, even though he is just a servant. I really think that’s it: just the sheer amount of
lines. That and, if it was in contemporary language—people are different, but for me contemporary language
is much easier to memorize. The thoughts are so much clearer to me, and it’s in my vocabulary, it’s in my
body, it’s the way I think. Other actors, [fellow Brierley Resident Acting Company member] Steven Walters
for example—he claims that he can memorize Shakespeare better than he can contemporary stuff because
it’s in iambic pentameter, like the Molière, and so it’s like music to him. He can memorize it like music. I’m
not that way; verse is much more difficult for me. Years ago I did a production of Copenhagen by Michael
Frayn, and while it’s got three people, it’s basically just two guys doing all the talking. And it’s talking about
physics, heavy-duty theory and stuff, and that was easier to memorize than this is for me.
Laura: How does having the rhyme factor in for you?
Chamblee: The rhyme actually kind of helps, because if you get the first part of the rhyme you know you
have to match the second part to it. So in that sense, this is easier for me to memorize than Shakespeare.
Laura: Have you worked with Molière before?
Chamblee: Yes. This is the third or fourth Molière that I’ve done. I think the last time I did it was 2007,
though, so it’s been a few years. One of the differences, in my experience, between this play and the other
Molière plays that I’ve done, is that this one has more monologues and soliloquies—moments when you
are standing onstage by yourself giving big, long speeches. Arnolphe does that almost at the beginning,
middle, and end of every act. When I did The Imaginary Invalid, which again, was a lot of lines in rhyming
pentameter, it still didn’t have these huge speeches.
Laura: What are you most excited about
or looking forward to sharing with the
people who come to see these shows?
Chamblee: I’m hoping—and we
haven’t even gotten on our feet yet in
rehearsal—that Kevin will be giving me
a little bit of permission to do a lot of
direct address. The soliloquies kind of
call for it, but beyond just giving a direct
address to the audience, maybe even
going out into the audience, walking
in the aisles of the Kalita, and actually
giving some stuff to very specific people
in the audience. I think that would be a
lot of fun. There’s also some beautiful
poetry in both of these shows—some
beautiful thoughts and really wisdom
in the text. (Laughing) As long as I can
remember my lines.

impact Creativity is an urgent call to action to save theatre
education programs in 19 of our largest cities. Impact
Creativity brings together theatres, arts education experts and
individuals to help over 500,000 children and youth, most of
them disadvantaged, succeed through the arts by sustaining
the theatre arts education programs threatened by today’s
fiscal climate. For more information on how “theatre education
