NOTE FROM THE D IRECTOR

Dear Theatergoer,

When Jenny first approached me about directing JT Rogers’ breathtaking play Madagascar, I knew I had more questions than I had answers about the play. Months later, I still feel the same way. The characters in this play all grapple with untangling mysteries in an attempt to heal (and sometimes punish) themselves. This quest is so infinite that the setting of the play in Rome, above the Piazza di Spagna, is totally fitting- a place where history, religion, and passion collide. They deal in the metaphoric language of mirrors and statues; Mexico and Madagascar. And for all its poetry, all its beauty, and all its pain, the play has asked something far simpler and far more difficult of me: it has asked me to remain unbiased. It has asked me to accept gray area. It has asked me to question things I may have ac-cepted before entering the theater. It has asked me to listen.
