 A MESSAGE FROM OUR ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

NEW BEGINNINGS
This is an exciting time for the Stratford
Festival. In 2022, we reopen our theatres,
honour the excellence of the past and embark
on a new leg of our journey together. A fresh
start: an opportunity to reassess ourselves in
the world today, reaffirm what we value and
take the best path to an extraordinary future.
This will also be a year to celebrate
milestones: our 70th season, the 20th
anniversary of the Studio Theatre, the 10th
season of The Meighen Forum, and the grand
opening of our glorious new Tom Patterson
Theatre.
It’s fitting, then, that our season theme
for 2022 is New Beginnings. Our playbill
explores the difficult moral and ethical
decisions a new journey entails: What is the
best way to start again? How can we avoid
the traps of the past? In an imperfect world,
what is good?
From Shakespeare’s most iconic play,
Hamlet, to the American family classic Little
Women; from the great Nigerian Nobel Prize
winner Wole Soyinka’s Death and the King’s
Horseman to such captivating new plays as
1939 and Hamlet-911, we offer you stories PHOTOGRAPHY BY DAVID HOU
about navigating a new start in life.
Your enjoyment will be enhanced by finding intriguing connections between, for instance,
1939 and All’s Well That Ends Well and between Hamlet-911 and Hamlet. Such connections
make for a beautiful symmetry, and fractals within that symmetry: mirrors upon mirrors upon
mirrors, provoking thought and uniting the season into a cohesive whole.
Sheer delight is never far away, as we present one of the greatest musicals ever written:
Chicago, with its kinetic dance, scintillating book and unforgettable songs. And The Miser,
Moliere’s delicious satire on the love of money, is complemented by Every Little Nookie,
a naughty new comedy about sharing . . . well, everything.
And new beginnings reach their zenith as we open our new Tom Patterson Theatre with
Richard III, the play that launched the original Stratford adventure back in 1953.
Combining Shakespeare with contemporary dramas, classic stories from the English and
French traditions with a new Indigenous play and a magnificent Nigerian tale, an iconic
musical with a racy comedy about polyamory and economics in the modern world, this is
truly a season for everyone.
Come join us on this new theatrical voyage as we celebrate the best of the past, revel in the
present moment together and look ahead to an irresistible future.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Welcome to the Stratford Festival. It is a great
privilege to gather and share stories on this
beautiful territory, which has been the site of
human activity — and therefore storytelling
— for many thousands of years. We wish to
honour the ancestral guardians of this land
and its waterways: the Anishinaabe, the
Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Wendat, and
the Attiwonderonk. Today many Indigenous
peoples continue to call this land home and
act as its stewards, and this responsibility
extends to all peoples, to share and care for
this land for generations to come.

 DIRECTOR’S NOTES
INSIDE DEATH AND THE KING’S
HORSEMAN
Akwaaba (welcome) to Stratford’s première
of Death and the King’s Horseman. My prayer
is that you leave this show feeling inspired
by the work of all the artists involved in
this production. I would also like to use the
opportunity to mention ted witzel, the Director
of the Stratford Lab, for his contribution to
making our play a reality this season.
I believe that in encountering this production,
you will naturally be introduced to my voice
as the director. So, I would like to offer this
space to members of the ensemble to share
their reflections working on Soyinka’s play
with you. Thank you for making the time to
be here.
– Tawiah M’Carthy
Director
People often ask me: “What role have you
been dying to play?”
As a Black actor, it surprises people to know
that – no disrespect to Mr. Shakespeare – the
famous Moor is not one of those roles. In
fact, for a long time, I didn’t have an answer.
All that changed in December 2021, when
I received an invitation from the Stratford
Festival to audition for Death and the King’s
Horseman.
It was then that I was introduced to Elesin
Oba. Celebrated among his people as an
honourable and righteous man – “a man
of enormous vitality” – he carries the very
existence of the Yoruban Kingdom on his
shoulders. As Horseman to the King, he
is tasked from birth to “commit death” by
following his recently deceased master into
the afterlife. As I read the last line of this
masterpiece with tears in my eyes, I realised
that Elesin Oba is one of the greatest tragic
characters ever written. Now, I finally had an
answer to the question, so often asked of me.
How does an “honourable” man reconcile his
passion for life over his commitment to die
in order to save his people and their world?
Are the British colonizers to blame or are they
merely a catalyst? Are there other, perhaps
metaphysical, forces at work? The questions
4 5
TAWIAH M’CARTHY
elicited by Professor Soyinka’s writing provide
no easy answers, thus offering exceptionally
fertile material to explore.
My work as a theatre artist has been
steeped in the likes of Shakespeare, Harold
Pinter, Eugene Ionesco, Sarah Ruhl and
other Western notables. As an actor from
the African Diaspora, there have been few
opportunities to work on plays that reflect my
ancestral roots and even fewer where the
involvement of melanated colleagues has
been so high: not only within our creative
team and cast, but also in our brilliant crew.
My fervent hope is that this production —
indeed, this rich and varied Festival — may
launch more colonized and marginalized
voices into the Canadian arena. I hope
that our community of theatre practitioners
continues to stretch itself, to represent
countless more facets of the robust tapestry
of human experience.

DIRECTOR’S NOTES
It is the fifth week of rehearsals, and my first
day back after my COVID quarantine. It is a
small group of us in the rehearsal hall and
we are doing our daily check-in before we
start. As my fellow castmates speak, I reflect
on what I want to say. The week I was sick
happened to be the same week that the
writer of our play, Professor Wole Soyinka,
was in town, and I missed him. I didn’t know
how much I wanted to meet him until the
opportunity came and went. I was able to
watch his event, and see him interact with
the rest of my cast over Zoom. But as we all
know, Zoom is not the same as real life. Had
I been in the room when he came to visit, I
would have told him that in the thirteen years
that I have been a professional artist, his play
is the first classical African play that I have
been a part of. And that of all the words I
could be speaking in my first season at the
Stratford Festival, I am beyond honoured
to be speaking his. Then, I would have
complimented him on his glorious white afro!
When it came time for me to speak during the
group check-in, I talk about how inspired I am
to dive deeper into the work and that I don’t
think the town of Stratford is ready for the
magic our play will bring to them.
Death and the King’s Horseman has been
a welcomed challenge as an actor. This
play demands every bit of my craft and
imagination to bring Soyinka’s dense yet
incredible images to life. Every time I step
into the character of Iyaloja (Mother of the
Market) I feel the gift Professor Soyinka has
given me. In a profession where the words
“classical plays” have usually meant old,
dead, European men, this Ghanian woman
is grateful to have discovered that classical
plays also include an old — very much alive –
Yoruba Nigerian man… with the most glorious
white afro I have ever seen! Ekaabo and
enjoy the show.
– Akosua Amo-Adem
Iyaloja - Mother of the Market
Early on in the rehearsal process, Tawiah
pulled me into conversation and asked if I
would care to write a portion of the director’s
notes for the program. Slightly daunted by
the task, but deeply honoured to share my
thoughts on this magnificent play, I began to
watch our work with a new concentration,
wishing for inspiration to strike and allow my
words to convey to you even a breath of the
poetry and beauty of Soyinka’s masterpiece.
What has struck me most about this play, as
I’ve seen it grow in rehearsal and listened to
its language, is the meaning that lies at the
centre of this world and its deep significance.
For so many people of my generation, our
contemporary Western worldview struggles
to uncover meaning in life. To a certain extent,
we are without a centre; we are without
some great worldview that may give our lives
significance and shape our interactions with
each other in society. However, in the world
of our play, the Yoruba world of Nigeria in
1943, a centre upon which meaning is made
is so clearly and beautifully presented to the
audience.
As you enter the space today – this brand
new theatre – where the potential for true
magic exists, remember that what you see
today is not some artifact of a long ago
time, it is the beating heart of a culture. It is
full of ritual, of significance, of life in all its
complexity. And what is magical about that
is that it is also theatre. In theatre, however
briefly, there is a potential to suspend our
disbelief, to enter into a temporary agreement
between the actors, the audience and the
space. An agreement during which we may
accept the possibility that this fiction is real;
we know it isn’t, but believe it anyway. It is
rare, and we don’t always succeed, but I have
to hope that it is still possible.
And so, with a text full of magic and in a
space that holds the potential for magic
– with actors and craftspeople deeply
committed to bringing you our best – I hope
that you, dear member of the audience, will
allow yourself to breathe with us. Take in this
space; let your ears be willing to hear new
sounds and words, and let your imaginations
open just the smallest little bit to the
possibility of meaning – of magic.
This play is truly a masterpiece of world
literature. It is beyond my abilities to praise its
form, the structure of its language, its poetry
and superb dramaturgical construction.
However, I will say this: I am so honoured
to be a part of it. Every member of the cast,
crew and creative teams are honoured to be
a part of it. And we are honoured that you
have decided to give your time to us and
bring yourself to this world. After two years,
I am finally privileged to be back on a stage.
And, by some miracle of fortune, I am lucky
enough to be a part of this play. I hope you
enjoy it as much as I love being a part of it.

 PRODUCTION SYNOPSIS
DEATH AND THE KING’S HORSEMAN
In the marketplace of a Yoruban community
in colonial-era Nigeria, Elesin Oba engages
in good-natured banter with his Olohun-
iyo, or Praise-Singer – in traditional African
society, a musician and poet whose role it is
to laud important people. It is a momentous
day for Elesin: his Alafin, or king, has
recently died, and tradition demands that
Elesin, whose name reflects his rank as
Chief Horseman, now commit ritual suicide
in order that he may accompany his late
ruler into the afterlife.
Though Elesin has always lustily enjoyed the
pleasures of this world, he professes himself
eager to embrace the more spiritual ones
of the next. Nevertheless, he has come to
the marketplace to revel for one last time
in the adulation of the women there. And
no sooner has he finished reciting the story
of the “Not-I Bird,” a poetic ode disdaining
the fear of death and extolling the virtue of
6 7
honour, than his eye is caught by a beautiful
young girl. Even though she is already
betrothed to another, he insists on taking
her as his bride that night, before fulfilling
his sacrificial duty to his king.
Meanwhile, British District Officer Simon
Pilkings and his wife, Jane, are about to
attend a fancy-dress ball when word arrives
of Elesin’s suicidal intentions. Pilkings
orders Elesin’s arrest, but his officers
encounter resistance from the women of
the marketplace. Pilkings then intervenes
personally, interrupting the ritual to have
Elesin dragged away in handcuffs – and
thereby provoking an unintendedly tragic
turn of events.

PROGRAM NOTES
THE PRICE OF (SELF-) SACRIFICE
BY GEORGE ELLIOTT CLARKE
In Death and the King’s Horseman, the
1986 Nobel Laureate in Literature, Nigerian
—and Yoruban–playwright Wole Soyinka
presents audiences with a classical five-
act tragedy that, he insists in his Foreword,
cannot be understood by so pedestrian a
rubric as a “clash of cultures,” even though
the action is set in the waning days of the
British Raj in Africa during World War II.
True: The British colonial intervention to
halt the planned, ritual suicide of the King’s
Horseman—i.e., Chief Elesin Oba—is enacted
on humanitarian and “Enlightenment”
(rational) grounds. Evidently—superficially—
then, there is a collision between the
would-be “civilizing” values of Europe and
the ancestor-propitiating necessities of
the Yoruban cosmology. However, Art is
not produced from simplicities, but from
complexities, and that is what Soyinka gives
us. Indeed, it is ironic that Britons should
deem themselves superior to the “Native”
Nigerians who they have colonized (and still
oppress) when Britain itself is waging a war
in which “the white races” are “wiping out
one another,” a war in which even genocide
(the Holocaust) is being perpetrated, and
a war that will conclude with the obscene,
atomic incineration of two defenceless,
Japanese cities. In such a context, European
pretensions to being arbiters of justice and
exemplars of rationality are pure piffle.
Thus, Soyinka centres his African tragedy
on a hero, Elesin Oba (note the first-name
rhyme with the surname of the existentialist,
African-American novelist Ralph Ellison), who
is a kind of Newfoundland-style “rowdyman”
or Renaissance Italy “Don Giovanni,” or a
Stanley Kowalski type (to recall the he-man
hero of Tennessee Williams’s play, A Streetcar
Named Desire). He is a heterosexual, “macho
man,” unapologetic about loving women (yes,
plural), and acting a down-to-earth Dionysus.
(I reference the Greek god of wine and
ecstasy, fertility and erotic frenzy.) Certainly,
Soyinka renders his vision of Dionysus in his
adaptation of Greek tragedian Euripides’ The
Bacchae. Deliberate is the similarity between
Elesin and the charismatic, hedonistic
Dionysus. Like the Greek god, Elesin is partial
to palm wine, women, and song—and dance,
all delights to which he is entitled given that
he must commit himself to death so that his
deceased king’s journey to the afterlife may
proceed as divined and ordained.
Sensibly then, Elesin’s initial appearance calls
forth encomia—praise songs—likening the
“cocky” chief to a cockerel, a horse, a rooster,
a civet (a carnivorous cat with a raccoon face
and a musky aroma), a raunchy, rampant
“Thoroughbred,” and a “sigidi”—i.e., a clay idol
of a torso. He is a sex symbol, a fertility fetish,
one whose tongue has slurped all honey
and whose belly has indulged all feasting.
His essence is carnality: We meet him as
he is dancing, singing, and slinging animal
metaphors that echo the creature-protagonist
fables of Aesop (Greek for Ethiopian); and he
is always en route to a “tryst.” A “monarch”
in the matriarchal village/kingdom “market”—
and a true “horseman”—unbridled, a stud,
Elesin savours lovers who conjure smells of
flesh, sweat, and indigo. He is the “husband
of multitudes,” just as Iyaloja—the village
matriarch—is the “mother of multitudes.” Yet,
Elesin Oba is also “a man of honour” and a
secular divinity (so to speak), for, being the
King’s Horseman, he is the spiritual progenitor
of parochial begetting.
Despite his attractive, seductive personality—
and never-say-no appetites, Elesin is a tragic
figure, for the reason that, like Shakespeare’s
Hamlet, he delays in doing what he is sworn to
do. In Shakespeare’s tragedy, Prince Hamlet
must terminate his uncle—King Claudius—
to avenge his own father King Hamlet’s
assassination; however, in striving to secure
incontrovertible proof of Claudius’s crime,
Hamlet puts off the regicide, thus catalyzing
the tragedy that destroys himself and the
entire “rotten,” Danish royal court. Similarly,
because lusty Elesin covets one last bout
of coitus, he procrastinates in committing
suicide—a ritual essential to enable his king
to make passage to the afterlife and to ensure
the fertility of the land and the fecundity of the
people. Unfortunately, his deferral of his self-
murder allows the Brits to intervene, frustrating
the conduct of the ritual, thereby dishonouring
the horseman, hobbling the king’s spirit,
and exposing their subjects to degradation,
infertility, and environmental collapse.
 PROGRAM NOTES
So, Elesin postpones his obligatory self-
slaying in order to take a new “Bride,” a
woman betrothed to Iyaloja’s son. Although
Iyaloja counsels against the match, she
knows that Elesin is permitted to satisfy
all of his final, fleshy desires because he
is standing on the threshold of the next
world, the posterior life that will secure tribal
blessing and agricultural fructitude. So, Elesin
gets to bed his Bride. Yet, his bad timing
permits colonial authorities, having learned
of his intent, to move to prevent his self-
produced, masculine version of suttee or his
African version of hara-kiri.
The Brits consider their hindrance of ritual
suicide as civilized; yet, they are engaged
in a brutal, European, “tribal” war, and their
record as “civilizing” imperialists features
exploitation and violence. Indeed, when
District Officer Simon Pilkings has Elesin
arrested and held in a cell, it is actually
“that cellar … where the slaves were stored
before being taken down to the coast.”
Moreover, when Pilkings and his wife, Jane,
wish to present themselves as potentially
prize-winning exotics at a costume-ball, they
“go Native” (so to speak), donning what
are—they think—atavistic masks, while Simon
castigates the Nigerians as “sly, devious
bastards” and an aide-de-camp calls Elesin’s
college-schooled son, Olunde, “an impudent
nigger.” Then again, at the costume ball, the
whites—garbed in 17th-century wigs, flounces,
frills, and codpieces—represent, say the stage
directions, “the tawdry decadence of a far-
flung but key imperial frontier.” Moreover, the
staging recalls Edgar Allan Poe’s “Masque of
the Red Death,” wherein masked, aristocratic
revellers seek shelter inside a castle from
a fatal plague—albeit in vain. In Soyinka’s
perhaps allegorical version, the Caucasian
party-goers haughtily segregate themselves
from the Black population; eventually, though,
the Natives will supersede the arrogant
parasites….
Intriguingly, in Act 3, Elesin dances—as if
in a trance—his acceptance of living in the
shadow of death, that is to say, between
haecceity (the here and now) and eternity.
In Act 4, HRH—His Royal Highness, The
Prince, British—at the costume ball, also
dances, representing imperialist power in its
decadence. Elesin’s dance and anticipated
demise will renew his people, while the
European dance belongs to the pageantry of
Empire, itself a work of strutting theatre and
Gothic penal codes. At this precise, wartime
8 9
moment, Olunde—who had been shipped to
England against his father’s will and Yoruban
tradition—returns. Trained in medicine,
he is a black man in a Western suit, but
rejects Western ways—holus-bolus. Indeed,
believing that his father has committed
suicide as intended, Olunde has come back
to Nigeria to bury Elesin.
Although the British deplore the Yoruban
custom of ritual suicide, they acknowledge
that self-sacrifice can serve to preserve
others’ lives. Thus, Jane Pilkings (hubby
Simon is a bourgeois, suit-and-tie Tarzan to
her Jane) recalls an event in which a white
captain “blew himself up” with a ship loaded
dangerously with “ammunition,” destroying
the vessel before it could imperil “other ships,
even … the city itself. Hundreds of the coastal
population would have died.” (Perhaps
Soyinka alludes thus to the Halifax Explosion
of December 6, 1917?) Olunde himself affirms
that British soldiers sacrifice themselves for
others. So why should not his father?
Confronted by the truth that Elesin lives,
though imprisoned by the British, Olunde
realizes that family honour has been
disgraced, the deceased king’s afterlife cast
in doubt, and the land and people threatened
with infertility. Olunde takes swift action
to forestall any further damage to nature,
monarchy, and clan by fulfilling himself his
father’s duty. When the matriarch Iyaloja and
other market women present Elesin with his
son’s self-sacrifice, he has but a single option.
Soyinka’s Death and the King’s Horseman
may seem to stage an alien concept, i.e., the
practice of ritual suicide. Yet, if one thinks
about it, Christianity itself could not exist were
it not for Jesus Christ’s acceptance of the
necessity of suicide-by-crucifixion—to fulfill
God’s will. What if He had just been jailed
instead?

Wole Soyinka was the first black African to
be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in
1986. His autobiography, Aké: The Years of
Childhood, was published in 1981 and was
followed by two companion pieces, Ìsarà:
A Voyage Around Essay and Ibadan: The
Penkelemes Years: A Memoir, 1946–1965.
In 2006, he published You Must Set Forth
at Dawn, his chronicle of exile from Nigeria.
His latest work of fiction is a novel entitled
Chronicles from the Land of the Happiest
People on Earth, which came out in 2021 and
is available on Amazon.
He was born on July 13, 1934, at Abeokuta,
near Ibadan in western Nigeria. After
preparatory university studies in Nigeria, he
studied at the University of Leeds, where in
1973 he took his doctorate. In 1960, he was
awarded a Rockefeller bursary and returned
to Nigeria to study African drama and taught
drama and literature at various universities in
Ibadan, Lagos and Ife. In 1960 he founded the
theatre group “The 1960 Masks” and in 1964,
the “Orisun Theatre Company”, in which he
produced his own plays and acted. During
the civil war in Nigeria, Soyinka appealed
in an article for cease-fire. For this he was
arrested in 1967, accused of conspiring with
the Biafra rebels and was held as a political
prisoner for 22 months until 1969. The Man
Died is his prose account of his arrest and
imprisonment.
As a world famous dramatist, Soyinka links
traditional popular African theatre with dance,
music and action. He bases his writing on
the mythology of his own tribe — the Yoruba
— with Ogun, the god of iron and war, at
the centre. He wrote his first plays when
in London: The Swamp Dwellers and The
Lion and the Jewel. Later satirical comedies
included The Trial of Brother Jero, Jero’s
Metamorphosis, A Dance of the Forests,
Kongi’s Harvest and Madmen and Specialists.
His more recent dramatic works are A Play of
Giants and Requiem for a Futurologist, From
Zia, with Love, The Beatification of Area Boy,
and King Baabu. Among Soyinka’s serious
philosophic plays are The Strong Breed, The
Road and his most popular play – Death and
the King’s Horseman.
Other novels written by Soyinka include:
The Interpreters and Season of Anomy.
He has also written several volumes of
poetry, including Idanre, and Other Poems
and Poems from Prison (republished as A
Shuttle in the Crypt) published together as
Early Poems, Mandela’s Earth and Other
Poems, and Samarkand and Other Markets
I Have Known. Critical works include Myth,
Literature, and the African World, Art,
Dialogue, and Outrage, The Open Sore of a
Continent, and The Burden of Memory, the
Muse of Forgiveness.
