director’s notes

I n 1984, the most perfect totalitarian society is presented—a cen-tralized government that does not tolerate parties of differing opinion and exercises dictatorial control over many aspects of

life. George Orwell’s novel, which this play was adapted from, was a cautionary tale written in 1949 to warn readers about a real pos-sibility for the near future: if totalitarianism were not opposed, some variation of the world described could become reality in only 35 years. Producing this play now, 34 years after 1984, gives interesting perspective and reaffirms that not much has changed.

Themes in the novel and play adaptation make it seem like the story was written for current-day America. I hope this play serves as a cautionary tale for our audiences today.

Government surveillance: Police now have devices that can read license plates and check if a car is unregistered, uninsured, or stolen. The National Security Agency can dip into your Facebook page and Google searches. And, it seems that almost every store we go into these days wants your phone number, email address, or ZIP code as part of any transaction.

Telescreens: In the play, telescreens are dual-purpose screens that broadcast government propaganda, news, and approved entertainment but are also two-way monitors that spy on citizens’ private lives. Today, everyone has a multipurpose device (cell phone) that is carried around everywhere and can record anything at any time. Our devices and social media play a steady stream of “propaganda” and “fake news.” Websites track our likes and dislikes and governments and private individuals hack into our computers to find out what they want to know.

Endless war: In the play, there is a global war that has been going on seemingly forever and the enemy keeps changing. (Sound familiar?) There seems little to distinguish adversaries and they are used primarily to keep the population in a constant state of fear, making dissent unthinkable or punishable. Today, we have the “War on Terror” with an unclear battleground, a generalized societal fear, suspension of certain civil liberties, an ill-defined enemy who could be anywhere or anything, and no end in sight.

Class issues and differences: In the story, the lower-class people (Proles) are largely ignored by the government. The idea is to keep the Proles placated and distracted, so that they don’t pay any attention to the political machinations moving the world around them. Today, lower-income Americans seem not to have a voice and are not fairly represented by their elected representatives. Party platforms and promises give a good talk (placation), but when the actual work needs to be done, the upper echelon focuses on its own political needs and not on what is best for those they represent.

Directing this play at this time in our country’s history was important to me. Presenting this show gives all of the artists involved a unique voice of hope that we will resist the shut-ting down of love, individuality, freedom, creativity, and artistic expression. Thank you for joining us today.

L ike many in the Pentacle com-munity, my first introduction to the talents of Virginia Choate

came as an audience member. I can still remember watching her remark-able work as Miss Mackay in the 1985 production of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. The fact that her performance is still indelibly imprinted on my mind after 30 years is testimony to the amaz-ing gifts of this fine actress. I must admit that at the time I made the some-what common error that the woman I watched so intently had to be similar in character to the role she was play-ing on the stage. To some extent, there were some similarities—a strong and fiercely determined spirit was certainly a quality that the actress and character shared. This impression was further reinforced about a year later by her performance as Mother Miriam Ruth in Agnes of God.

It wasn’t until 1988, when I was given the gift of directing Virginia in The Gin Game, that I had the opportunity to get to know her well as a person. The show was singularly

challenging; in addition to being a two-person show, the plot involved a long and complex series of hands of the card game gin, requir-ing both Virginia and her co-star, the equally awesome Bob Putnam, to memorize one of the most challenging scripts I can imagine learning. Through the rehearsal process, Virginia dem-onstrated not only an admirable tenacity and patience, but a wickedly sharp sense of humor

and willingness to explore the vulnerabilities of her character. She was the actress of my fondest dreams.

It has been over ten years now since Virginia’s passing, but for me, the images she cre-ated are still fresh in my mind and I still sense her presence at Pentacle Theatre. Thanks to her generosity, Pentacle audiences not only have the legacy of her work as part of our collective memory, but also a series of shows have been performed that reflect much about what she was like as a person: impressively strong, infused with formidable talent, and ultimately unforgettable.

Each year a Pentacle Theatre production is under-written by the Virginia Choate Endowment Fund, left to the theater by Virginia Choate when she passed away in 2004. The plays in the series are in keeping with Virginia’s interest in socially con-scious art and progressive causes. 1984 is the twelfth Virginia Choate Series play.
