‘A Conversation about The Dutch Courtesan York 2013 and Toronto 2019’ (Roundtable: The Production Context – 9:30-11:00AM, 23 March 2019)
Speakers: Michael Cordner and Oliver Jones (York University); Respondent: Peter Cockett (McMaster University)
Cordner and Jones address the performance values of the 2013 production in terms of successful city comedy (Michael Cordner) and the website developed by Oliver Jones to disseminate the research behind the production. How effective were both, in retrospect?
Michael Cordner is a well-known scholar and editor of 17th-century plays with particular interest in performance, as in his book with Peter Holland, (eds.), Players, Playwrights, Playhouses: Investigating Performance, 1660-1800 (2007). He has written many chapters and articles on early comedy, such as “The Malcontent and the Hamlet Aftermath”, Shakespeare Bulletin, 31 (2013), 165-90; and “Thomas Middleton’s A Mad World, My Masters: From Script to Performance”, Shakespeare Bulletin, 31 (2013), 3-28. He has directed Shirley’s Hyde Park, Middleton’s A Mad World, My Masters, Marston’s The Malcontent and The Dutch Courtesan. Aside from his production website on The Dutch Courtesan (2013), he has developed Early Modern Theatre on which he shows the film of all five of the productions directed at York, plus three films recently made with the Olivier-Award-winning actor Henry Goodman, about performing Ben Jonson today, based on his experience playing leading Jonson roles for the Royal Shakespeare Company. He is currently acting as consultant on the forthcoming RSC production of Vanbrugh’s The Provoked Wife.
Oliver Jones completed his PhD on The Queen’s Men and performance in guildhalls in 2012. As Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Kings College London and Shakespeare’s Globe he was part of the team responsible for the design and development of the Sam Wanamaker Theatre, and while the Humanities Research Centre Postdoctoral Fellow in Theatre at the University of York collaborated with Michael Cordner on the Dutch Courtesan project. Since 2014 he has been Lecturer in Theatre at the Department of Theatre, Film, Television and Interactive Media at York (UK). He has published on early modern theatre practice-as-research, as well as co-editing a special issue of Shakespeare Bulletin on the topic, and on the architectural and documentary evidence for early performance spaces, and is developing new research on the crossovers of these with editing, digital humanities, and live theatre broadcast.
Peter Cockett is a leading practitioner of Performance as Research (PAR) in early modern theatre studies. His work includes core collaboration on three major international conferences focused on PAR: Shakespeare and the Queen’s Men (2005), Chester 2010: Peril and Danger to her Majesty, and Performance as Research in Early English Theatre Studies: The Three Ladies of London in Context (2015). He has directed 10 PAR productions of medieval and early modern plays, and organized three intensive PAR workshops for scholars and practitioners. His research on the Queen’s Men appears online on Queen’s Men Editions, for which he is Associate Editor (Performance). Most recently he organized a PAR workshop in collaboration with Melinda Gough at the Stratford Festival, entitled “Engendering the Stage in the Age of Shakespeare and Beyond.” He has published articles on early modern performance practices and the use of performance as a tool for scholarship and research. Peter is also a professional actor on stage and screen. For McMaster’s yearly mainstage productions, he has directed three Canadian plays, devised four new plays, and adapted Shakespeare’s Hamlet (Hamlet’s Dorm, 2011), Henry V (2005) and Midsummer Night’s Dream (2014).
