I was very fortunate.my father got me interested in Shakespeare when I was 10 years old, in the fifth grade. Where did you receive your training of the classics?
#MARC SINGER HOW TO#
I believe that it is a specific deal of study and endeavor, and although that sounds cold and academic, it is an imperative to me in my life that I accomplish what I can in illuminating plays by Shakespeare in my understanding of how to look at Shakespeare as a performer, before I leave this earth. I believe that the loss of how to approach Shakespeare and understand Shakespeare and translate Shakespeare into action on a stage is being lost. I happen to think that Shakespeare is absolutely essentially foundational to Western culture. Everybody in every literary endeavor has a very strong personal feeling about how Shakespeare should be done and what Shakespeare means, etc, etc, etc. And that is that the original storyline which is the resolution of the struggle between Titania and Oberon and why it takes place in the first place is lost. But, what we're doing is rediscovering what I think is being overlooked in the main by most companies in the United States, according to what I'm sensing, feeling and experiencing in theatrical productions of Midsummer Night's Dream. So, not everything has to be true to period. I like Hamlet in the style of the Napoleonic day wars. I don't say that everything has to be done strictly to period. No, I don't favor and am not fond of reinventions. And that's the storyline of the argument between Titania and Oberon.Īre you reinventing the play in any way or are you doing a traditional mounting of it? When that through storyline resolves itself, then the play is over. There should be a through storyline which everything else revolves around. It's sort of like an avalanche that everything mixes together by the time it reaches the bottom of the hill, and it shoudn't be that way. The point is they can meld together to such an extent that we lose sight of who's driving the play forward. I remember years ago playing Puck in a scene that was so much fun and you can get caught up in these guys and their stories but they all kind of meld together in getting out the main message. hopefully our Oberon will be contributing to the comedy. And Oberon drives the play and is an integral part of the mood of the play. The lead character in this case is Oberon. It has been my experience that many productions appreciate the ensemble effect of Midsummer Night's Dream to such an extent that very often the piramital shape of the lead actor gets lost. And that is to follow in the tradition of actors who mount their own productions of Shakespeare so that they can manage the storyline and the pace of the production and get the kind of slant or interpretation that they want to out of the entire production rather than just out of the single role that they play. This is the first realization, however, of something that I've wanted to do since I was a very young actor. No, this is not my first direcion at all. He took time out of his busy schedule to sit down and talk about his love of Shakespeare, Midsummer and some of his career highlights. Singer will play Oberon and also direct the piece. Today he is still a working actor in demand and is a member of Group rep Theatre in NoHo where he is currently rehearsing their next production of A Midsummer Night's Dream to open November 17.
