We are thrilled to have you with us as we welcome back to CST Ireland’s renowned
Druid theatre company. Today’s production of Waiting for Godot, directed by the
phenomenal Garry Hynes, continues our tradition of inviting leading artists from
across the globe to make Chicago their stage.
Over the years, Chicago Shakespeare’s WorldStage series has featured thousands
of theater-makers from all corners of the world—Australia, Belarus, China, India,
Mexico, South Africa, the UK, and beyond. As a result of this prolific program,
Chicago audiences have experienced striking interpretations of Shakespeare’s
plays in myriad languages and work beyond the canon that pushes the boundaries
of theatrical interpretation.
As we move into the summer months, we hope you will make a return visit for
one of our upcoming productions. Playing now in our newest theater, The Yard
at Chicago Shakespeare, is Aaron Posner and Teller’s Macbeth—a psychological
thriller not to be missed. For our youngest audiences, we will produce a summer
family musical in July and August—one of our favorites, Peter Pan! And beyond our
Navy Pier home, we will tour an abridged production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream,
directed by Barbara, to eighteen neighborhoods across the city, free for all, in our
seventh Chicago Shakespeare in the Parks tour.
We hope to see you soon! n
DEAR FRIENDS,
Welcome

A global theatrical force, Chicago Shakespeare Theater (CST) is known for vibrant productions that reflect Shakespeare’s genius for storytelling, musicality of language, and empathy for the human condition. Under the leadership of Artistic Director Barbara Gaines and Executive Director Criss Henderson, Chicago Shakespeare has redefined what a great American Shakespeare theater can be—a company that, delighting in the unexpected, defies theatrical category. A Regional Tony Award-winning theater, CST produces acclaimed plays at its home on Navy Pier, throughout Chicago’s schools and neighborhoods, and on stages around the world. In 2017, the Theater unveiled its third year-round venue, The Yard at Chicago Shakespeare, with an innovative design that has changed the shape of theater-making. Together with the Jentes Family Courtyard Theater and the Thoma Theater Upstairs at Chicago Shakespeare, The Yard positions CST as the city’s most versatile performing arts venue.
Chicago Shakespeare’s year-round season features as many as twenty productions and 650 performances—including plays, musicals, world premieres, and visiting international presentations—to engage a broad, multigenerational audience of 225,000 community members. Recognized in 2014 in a White House ceremony hosted by First Lady Michelle Obama, CST’s education programs support literacy and creativity for 40,000 students each year. Each summer, 30,000 family audiences welcome the free Chicago Shakespeare in the Parks tour into their neighborhoods across the far north, west, and south sides of the city. The Theater is the leading producer of international work in Chicago and, touring its own plays across North America and abroad to Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and the Middle East, CST has garnered multiple accolades, including the prestigious Laurence Olivier Award. Emblematic of its role as a global theater, CST spearheaded Shakespeare 400 Chicago, a yearlong international arts and culture festival, which engaged an estimated 1.1 million people through 863 events at 231 locations across the city in 2016—all in celebration of Shakespeare’s 400-year legacy. n

Sour Poetry. Soaring Beauty.
Colm Tóibín is an Irish novelist, essayist, playwright, and critic. His nine novels include Brooklyn and Nora Webster. He is a member of Aosdana, and an Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
The play is concerned with the equation that Descartes formulated—”I think
therefore I am”—but only as a way of removing the ”therefore,” as a slapstick
artist might remove a supporting plank so that mayhem, or a starker or more
paradoxical form of order, may ensue. The play views thinking as a strange,
ludicrous activity, if activity is the word (it is not). This does not pass the time
as well as dancing does, or talking, or saying nothing much at all, or exchanging
hats and considering boots.
”Being” is a sour joke, perpetrated on the characters by time, which is itself not
to be trusted, or indeed by God, whose Christian manifestation is referred to not
to deepen the text, or the subtext, or to offer meaning, whatever that is, but to
distract us for a moment or give us a laugh.
Even if the words and the exchanges seem pointless,
or are too quick off the mark, they have a sound and
a texture, a body waiting desperately, or in some
amusement, for a soul. Out of the idea that he would
swerve when an idea came close, Beckett made the
sour poetry of the play, which he peppered with
some passages of soaring beauty. Out of what could
not be trusted—and that included beauty—he made
speech and allowed some movement and repetition. The drama, the excitement,
then comes from the illusion, or indeed the fact, that this was enough, or almost
enough, for something powerful to emerge all the more clearly because of its
mystery, its ambiguity, and its ferocious refusal to give in to easy interpretation. n
‘Being’ is a sour joke, perpetrated on
the characters by time, which is itself
not to be trusted.
A s with many works of literature, it is easier to say
what Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot is not
about, or what it is almost about, than to state its
theme definitively or be certain, or even fully uncertain,
about its meaning or indeed its origin in Beckett’s
imagination. Most ways of describing it require terms that
are in conflict with each other. Thus the play is concerned
with exhaustion, with language and communication in a
state of decay, but it is also nourished by strange energy,
by wit, by tension, by moments of pure verbal excitement.
Waiting for Godot is set nowhere, or in a place where
little grows and few props are needed, but it is also set in
a place that may be France and may even be Ireland, but
most probably it is a place in between.
Perhaps more than anywhere Waiting for Godot is set on
a stage, the stage we see, the stage the characters inhabit,
or appear on and then walk off sometimes. It would be
too simple to say that they are trapped on the stage, since
there is a hinterland; but the hinterland has a topography
that is not of much interest.
It might be easy to say that the stage is part of a desolate
no man’s land that we might associate with war, or the
aftermath of conflict, but it could as easily be a circus ring
made angular, or a film set when the camera has not yet
arrived, and may, indeed, never do so.
But none of these ways of seeing the stage actually
helps us to see it better. Beckett wrote lines and stage
directions. He did not invest in hidden meanings, indeed
professed to have no interest in them.

Ms. Gaines received an Honorary Doctorate of Letters from the University of Birmingham (UK), the University Club of Chicago’s Cultural Award, and the Public Humanities Award from the Illinois Humanities Council. Most recently, Ms. Gaines’s career was commemorated in American painter Kerry James Marshall’s public art mural, “Mount Rushmore,” at the Chicago Cultural Center, honoring twenty women who have changed the Chicago cultural landscape.
CRISS HENDERSON (Executive Director) has produced Chicago Shakespeare Theater's past twenty-eight seasons, and developed the citywide, yearlong celebration through 2016
of Shakespeare’s legacy, Shakespeare 400 Chicago. Under his leadership, CST has become one of the nation’s leading regional theaters and one of Chicago's most celebrated cultural organizations, honored with the 2008 Tony Award for Outstanding Regional Theatre, as well as multiple Laurence Olivier and Joseph Jefferson Awards. Mr. Henderson has garnered multiple honors, including: the 2013 Cultural Innovation Award from the Chicago Innovation Awards; the Arts Administrator of the Year by Arts Management Magazine at the Kennedy Center and the Chevalier de L'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the Minister of Culture of France. He was named among the top 40 business people under the age of 40 in Crain’s Chicago Business. He serves as president of the Producers’ Association of Chicago-area Theaters and is director of the MFA/Arts Leadership Program, a two-year graduate-level curriculum in arts management training created through a joint partnership between Chicago Shakespeare Theater and The Theatre School at DePaul University.
PROFILES DRUID THEATRE COMPANY
About Druid
Actors’ Equity Association (AEA), founded in 1913, represents more than 45,000 actors and stage managers in the United States. Equity seeks to advance, promote and foster the art of live theatre as an essential component of our society. Equity negotiates wages and working conditions, providing a wide range of benefits, including health and pension plans. AEA is a member of the AFL-CIO, and is affiliated with FIA, an international organization of performing arts unions. The Equity emblem is our mark of excellence. www.actorsequity.org
Druid began as a bold idea: to create Ireland’s first professional theater
company outside of Dublin. There were few resources with which to build a
theater company in the west of Ireland in 1975, but, through sheer dedication,
and with the support of the Galway community, founders Garry Hynes, Marie
Mullen, and Mick Lally made this bold idea a reality. That reality has become an
international success story of extraordinary dimensions.
Druid is a company that continues to pursue bold ideas, from presenting
the entire canon of Synge plays in one day (DruidSynge), to professionally
debuting new work, such as The Beauty Queen of Leenane by Martin McDonagh
(winning four Tony Awards during its run on Broadway) and The Walworth
Farce by Enda Walsh, to adapting and staging four Shakespeare plays in
one production (DruidShakespeare) and taking them across Ireland and the
Atlantic, to New York and beyond.
Druid passionately believes that audiences have a right to see first-class
professional theater in their own communities. Since 1975, the company
has performed in over 100 Irish communities, often returning to locations
dozens of times, developing enduring connections with audiences. Druid has
presented work at international arts festivals, in municipal theaters, community
halls, yards, bars, and iron age forts, always looking for new ways to present its
work and connect with audiences.
