DIRECTOR'S NOTE

There are the timeless and the timebound. The timeless tales withstand erosion and no matter how much dust might lay on top of them, they still ring true with audiences as though they were written yesterday. More frequent are the timebound stories that preserve a moment, a time capsule carrying the sense memories of a period in history with a vividness that transports us from our seats and into that other far away world. Carousel contains the essence of both.

 

In the pages of our play, we sail to the coasts of 1870s Maine where you can smell the salt on the breeze, feel the pounding of the waves on the sand, and swoon in the sight of swooping seagulls on the shoreline. But within that beautiful timebound landscape lies a less than beautiful and yet, timeless story.

 

Together we venture on a walk in a woman’s shoes and through the complicated cycle she has found herself tangled within. Although this story takes place 150 years ago in a time and place that may feel removed from our own, we cannot claim to be strangers to the path that Julie Jordan walks in this story. Abuse, either covert or plain, is all around us on the news, within our government, in our communities and in some of our most beloved stories such as this one. While we may have a sizable ensemble of characters, the one unnamed character is the most prominent one of all. It lurks in every scene, fills the air with tension, motivates our characters and serves as the main impetus of our story, the

unseen force behind it all. While some creators have shied away from bringing this story into the 21st century, I believe now it is more important than ever to shed light on abuse and all of its many heads. However, I also find it important to reclaim the story with our modern day eyes. In the original production, audience members walked away viewing Billy as a troubled hero, redeemed in the eyes of his maker. In our production, I intend to move the spotlight away from him and center Julie and the other women of the show instead. And while Julie may be the central victim, Carrie and Mrs. Mullin are victims as well, and the likelihood that the other women in this show are as well, is high. I’ll let the statistics speak for themselves.

 

  • An average of 24 people per minute are victims of rape, physical violence or stalking by an intimate partner in the United States — more than 12 million women and men over the course of a single year.

  • Over 1 in 3 women (35.6%) and 1 in 4 men (28.5%) in the US have experienced rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime.

  • Intimate partner violence alone affects more than 12 million people every year.
