Director’s NotesThe Winter’s Tale is my favorite play of all time, so working on it has
been a great joy. It has also been a tremendous challenge, considering how
epic, complex, and tonally varied the play is. I was extremely fortunate to
have had such a talented and resourceful group of students with whom to
work, including an especially joyous and generous cast, and one of the most
extraordinary stage managers I’ve ever known.
Having grown up in Medford, I started attending the Oregon
Shakespeare Festival at a young age, and had seen a fair number of
Shakespeare’s plays before encountering The Winter’s Tale at OSF in late
summer 1975 in a production directed by Audrey Stanley, and starring Jim
Edmondson as Leontes (all these years later, Jim is now my colleague –
and he has absolutely no idea, I’m sure, how in awe of him I still am). In
the preface to my doctoral dissertation, written many years later, I tried
to describe the effect of encountering this amazing play for the first time:
“here was a play,” I proclaimed, “unlike any of Shakespeare’s other plays
yet somehow containing all of them.”
That initial impression has never really left me. Leontes’ inexplicable
descent into destructive mania still strikes me as a devastating, concentrated
image of the mad passion of Shakespeare’s most famous tragic figures –
just as the regenerative energy unleashed by the pastoral romp in Bohemia
calls to mind and substantially elevates the revitalizing forces stoked in the
green worlds of Shakespearean comedy. Finally, the play’s finale, one of
the most extraordinary in Western theater history, evokes the deliverances
of Shakespeare’s other late plays, while going significantly beyond them.
If you ever meet me and have a lot of time, ask me why The Winter’s Tale’s
differences from Pericles, Cymbeline, and The Tempest are more important
than its similarities.
Or, as I put it all those years ago, in my preface, The Winter’s Tale “suspends the terminal negations of tragedy by elevating the conventions of
comedy in order to authenticate the deliverances of romance.”
It’s also just a really beautiful play.
– David McCandless

The Winter’s Tale and RomanceThe genre of Romance has been around since before man could write
in the form of epic poetry. These narratives would tell the tales of heroic
adventures and superhuman deeds. They became the myths that shaped the
world – starting, in Western culture, with Homer’s Odyssey. The term “tragicomedy” was first introduced by the Roman playwright
Plautus, who decided that his play, Amphitryon, was too light to be a tragedy
but, with a cast of gods and kings, too lofty to be called a comedy. In 1590,
Italian playwright Giovanni Battista Guarini wrote Il Pastor Fido, a piece
that established tragicomedy as legitimate genre. It flourished in Jacobean
Engand in the plays of Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher.
Given the popularity of Romance and tragicomedy, it is surprising that
neither genre found its way into Shakespeare’s First Folio. The Winter’s Tale and The Tempest were labeled comedies, Cymbeline was labeled a tragedy, and
Pericles was omitted entirely from the work.
However, in 1877, Irish playwright and critic Edward Dowden settled
the generic fate of the late plays by asserting, “Let us name these plays
Romances.” He declared that, “In all these plays there is the same romantic
incident of lost children recovered by those to whom they are dear...In all
there is a beautiful romantic background of sea or mountain. The dramas
have a great beauty, a sweet serenity, which seem to render the name
‘comedies’ inappropriate; we may smile tenderly, but never laugh loudly, as
we read them.”
Indeed, these plays do not resemble the introspective turmoil of Hamlet, nor the comedic romance of As You Like It. Rather, they remind us of
the epic poems where Romance found its beginning: they are myths and
fairy tales – stories of fantasy and adventure. They slide into the genre of
tragicomedy in that their plots tell of lost loved ones and a struggle against
adversity, which ends in deliverance. Additionally, these plays reveal an
older, more mature playwright, who is taking a look back at his life and
work. They are a hopeful farewell – not a “goodbye,” but, rather, an “until
we meet again.”
