TONI: There she is!
Bea Bishop, my girl!
17
00:00:50,633 --> 00:00:52,552
Ready to dive back into
the grit of live theatre?
18
00:00:52,594 --> 00:00:53,720
Hi, Mom.
19
00:00:53,762 --> 00:00:56,222
- Everybody is so excited
to see you direct
20
00:00:56,264 --> 00:00:57,932
The Taming of the Shrew.
21
00:00:57,974 --> 00:00:59,309
Where is your TV star?
22
00:00:59,350 --> 00:01:01,394
- Her name is Hannah,
not "TV Star."
23
00:01:01,436 --> 00:01:03,021
I know that.
24
00:01:03,063 --> 00:01:05,774
Award-winning actress
Hannah Michaels!
25
00:01:05,815 --> 00:01:07,734
The coup of this summer's
Shakespeare Festival,
26
00:01:07,776 --> 00:01:09,444
thanks to you!
27
00:01:09,486 --> 00:01:11,279
Publicity's ramping up
promotion.
28
00:01:11,321 --> 00:01:13,740
- Well, when she said
that she wanted to do a play
29
00:01:13,782 --> 00:01:15,617
during her break, I knew
it was a great opportunity
30
00:01:15,658 --> 00:01:16,701
for both of us.
31
00:01:16,743 --> 00:01:18,203
By the way,
thank you so much
32
00:01:18,244 --> 00:01:19,871
for scheduling our play
last in the season
33
00:01:19,913 --> 00:01:21,331
so that she would have
an opportunity
34
00:01:21,372 --> 00:01:22,540
to finish shooting her series.
35
00:01:22,582 --> 00:01:24,626
- Well, the main show
in the outdoor theatre
36
00:01:24,667 --> 00:01:27,003
is always the last one up,
so it worked out.
37
00:01:27,045 --> 00:01:30,590
You got four weeks rehearsals,
and then your play opens.
38
00:01:30,632 --> 00:01:32,717
I'm ready.
39
00:01:32,759 --> 00:01:34,719
- You're finally home.
- I'm thrilled.
40
00:01:34,761 --> 00:01:38,097
I love that with live theatre
anything can happen.
41
00:01:38,139 --> 00:01:41,267
- Well, theatre is in your blood.
- [chuckles]
42
00:01:41,309 --> 00:01:44,646
- I'll never forget little you
running around backstage
43
00:01:44,687 --> 00:01:48,108
asking all the stagehands
to let you open the curtain.
44
00:01:48,149 --> 00:01:50,944
Oh, I was so precocious.
45
00:01:50,985 --> 00:01:53,071
- Everybody loved
having you around.
46
00:01:53,112 --> 00:01:56,074
Especially after your dad left.
47
00:01:56,115 --> 00:01:58,368
It was just you and me
against the world.
48
00:01:58,409 --> 00:02:00,745
Yeah, what a time.
49
00:02:00,787 --> 00:02:02,038
TONI: And now you're back.
50
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,165
And you have
charted your own path.
51
00:02:04,207 --> 00:02:06,000
Yeah, out of your shadow, Mom.
52
00:02:06,042 --> 00:02:08,253
TONI: I couldn't be prouder.
53
00:02:08,294 --> 00:02:10,964
So, Hannah is, uh,
meeting the rest of the cast
54
00:02:11,005 --> 00:02:13,341
at the tavern?
55
00:02:13,383 --> 00:02:14,759
Yes.
56
00:02:14,801 --> 00:02:17,095
Yeah, I thought it would be
a good, cozy place
57
00:02:17,137 --> 00:02:18,555
to introduce her
to her castmates.
58
00:02:18,596 --> 00:02:20,306
By the way, I didn't see
anybody listed
59
00:02:20,348 --> 00:02:22,517
- for the role of Petruchio.
- Right, I'm...
60
00:02:22,559 --> 00:02:25,019
- It's a tough part to cast
because he's the male
61
00:02:25,061 --> 00:02:26,646
romantic lead of the show,
62
00:02:26,688 --> 00:02:29,816
so you need a strong actor
with presence, charisma.
63
00:02:29,858 --> 00:02:32,277
But he's also the kind of guy
that you fall in love with,
64
00:02:32,318 --> 00:02:33,570
even though he drives you nuts.
65
00:02:33,611 --> 00:02:34,863
When's the next round
of auditions?
66
00:02:34,904 --> 00:02:36,865
- Actually,
I've already cast him, darling.
67
00:02:36,906 --> 00:02:38,783
- Oh!
So, who's playing Petruchio?
68
00:02:38,825 --> 00:02:40,285
Hey, how are ya?
69
00:02:40,326 --> 00:02:42,579
Oh, Benny, my dear.
70
00:02:42,620 --> 00:02:44,080
Back from the national tour.
71
00:02:44,122 --> 00:02:45,748
How did your
Death of a Salesman
72
00:02:45,790 --> 00:02:48,585
play before audiences?
73
00:02:48,626 --> 00:02:50,378
- Sellouts everywhere,
rave reviews.
74
00:02:50,420 --> 00:02:52,005
As I would have expected.
75
00:02:52,046 --> 00:02:53,840
- But I'm almost relieved
to come home to Shakespeare
76
00:02:53,882 --> 00:02:54,883
every season.
77
00:02:54,924 --> 00:02:55,884
BEA: Hi, Benny.
78
00:02:55,925 --> 00:02:57,260
Hey.
79
00:02:58,344 --> 00:02:59,721
Bea?
80
00:02:59,762 --> 00:03:02,849
Um, you're...
visiting your mom.
81
00:03:02,891 --> 00:03:04,601
That's-- that's nice.
82
00:03:04,642 --> 00:03:06,102
How long you in town for?
83
00:03:06,144 --> 00:03:08,521
- Oh, no, I'm actually directing
Taming of the Shrew.
84
00:03:08,563 --> 00:03:09,689
- Oh.
- Yeah.
85
00:03:09,731 --> 00:03:11,482
Well, that's news to me.
86
00:03:11,524 --> 00:03:14,944
I'm playing Petruchio
in Taming of the Shrew.
87
00:03:14,986 --> 00:03:16,821
That is news to me.
88
00:03:16,863 --> 00:03:20,408
- You both know I can't resist
a dramatic reveal.
89
00:03:20,450 --> 00:03:21,951
- No, no...
- Yeah, no, it's fine.
90
00:03:21,993 --> 00:03:23,119
Couldn't care less.
91
00:03:23,161 --> 00:03:24,996
TONI: This season
has to end with a bang.
92
00:03:25,038 --> 00:03:27,457
The final show is the one
that everybody waits for.
93
00:03:27,498 --> 00:03:30,126
We've already got a buzz
going on about Hannah Michaels,
94
00:03:30,168 --> 00:03:32,378
and we have record sign-ups
95
00:03:32,420 --> 00:03:34,756
for this year's Young Friends
of the Fest events.
96
00:03:35,965 --> 00:03:37,717
And Benny, would you reconsider
97
00:03:37,759 --> 00:03:39,552
teaching at
the actors' workshop?
98
00:03:39,594 --> 00:03:40,887
We've got a waiting list.
99
00:03:40,929 --> 00:03:43,139
You know, you're kind of
a legend around here.
100
00:03:43,181 --> 00:03:44,265
No.
101
00:03:44,307 --> 00:03:46,184
Thank you.
Uh...
102
00:03:46,225 --> 00:03:48,061
I don't wanna
spread myself too thin.
103
00:03:48,102 --> 00:03:50,188
- Right.
The play's the thing.
104
00:03:51,981 --> 00:03:54,567
And you two,
back together again.
105
00:03:54,609 --> 00:03:58,780
I have full faith that you're
going to be able to set your...
106
00:03:58,821 --> 00:04:00,740
differing views aside.
107
00:04:00,782 --> 00:04:03,034
- It's been so long since
I was here directing a play.
108
00:04:03,076 --> 00:04:04,243
Five years.
109
00:04:04,285 --> 00:04:06,120
- What's that, uh,
Winter's Tale quote,
110
00:04:06,162 --> 00:04:07,455
"What's past is prologue"?
111
00:04:07,497 --> 00:04:09,791
That's from The Tempest.
112
00:04:09,832 --> 00:04:12,126
- Close enough.
- Mm, not really.
113
00:04:12,168 --> 00:04:13,753
And it's settled, then.
114
00:04:13,795 --> 00:04:16,381
Bea, I really have to have
a private word with you.
115
00:04:16,422 --> 00:04:19,133
- Mom, can it wait?
I have my...
116
00:04:19,175 --> 00:04:22,637
We have our first
read-through of the play.
117
00:04:22,679 --> 00:04:24,430
- Actually, it can't.
- Oh.
118
00:04:24,472 --> 00:04:26,224
Yeah, sure, I'll be--
I'll be right there.
119
00:04:30,645 --> 00:04:33,147
I'll see you at the tavern,
then, soon.
120
00:04:33,189 --> 00:04:34,565
Wouldn't miss it.
121
00:04:34,607 --> 00:04:36,943
- I put in a special order
of Macbeth's Scotch Eggs.
122
00:04:36,985 --> 00:04:38,569
Get everyone
in the Shakespeare mood.
123
00:04:38,611 --> 00:04:40,279
I'm bringing pizza.
124
00:04:40,321 --> 00:04:41,281
Perfect.

Oh, I bet.
152
00:05:57,231 --> 00:05:59,192

let me tell you why.

Okay.

from you.
162
00:06:13,998 --> 00:06:16,125
I have the grace and I have
the expertise that's necessary.
163
00:06:16,167 --> 00:06:17,668
- Yes, Bea.
- I've been finding
164
00:06:17,710 --> 00:06:19,253
new, exciting ways
to share Shakespeare
165

No, Bea, you're right.

It is your destiny, sweetheart.

I was just worried that
maybe you wouldn't want it

TV directing career.

00:06:47,573 --> 00:06:49,617
next week.
You should be there.
179
00:06:49,659 --> 00:06:51,786
- Anything you need.
Let's go meet with Juan.
180
00:06:51,828 --> 00:06:53,621
- I'm so glad
to hear you say this.
181
00:06:53,663 --> 00:06:54,997
I'm so happy for you.
182
00:06:55,039 --> 00:06:56,707
- [sighs]
- Mom...
183
00:06:56,749 --> 00:06:58,918
And I'm ready.
184
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,087
I have to go and introduce
Hannah to the cast
185
00:07:01,129 --> 00:07:03,256
- at the tavern, so I'm gonna go.
- Off you go.
186
00:07:03,297 --> 00:07:05,007
- The play's the thing.
- Play's the thing.
187
00:07:05,049 --> 00:07:06,217
[laughs excitedly]
188
00:07:06,259 --> 00:07:09,262
♪
189
00:07:09,303 --> 00:07:11,222
BEA: Hannah, hi!
190
00:07:11,264 --> 00:07:13,766
- Bea!
- Hi!
191
00:07:13,808 --> 00:07:16,978
Oh, thank you so much
for agreeing to do this.
192
00:07:17,019 --> 00:07:18,813
- Are you kidding? I've always
wanted to do theatre,
193
00:07:18,855 --> 00:07:19,981
but I've never had the chance.
194
00:07:20,022 --> 00:07:21,941
You're gonna be so great.
195
00:07:21,983 --> 00:07:23,943
- Well, this play is gonna
help people see me
196
00:07:23,985 --> 00:07:25,987
- as a more serious actress.
- That's what you are.
197
00:07:26,028 --> 00:07:28,072
So, how's
the memorization going?
198
00:07:28,114 --> 00:07:29,532
It's a lot of lines.
199
00:07:29,574 --> 00:07:31,117
- Yeah, it's coming along.
Yeah, almost there.
200
00:07:31,159 --> 00:07:32,451
Okay.
201
00:07:32,493 --> 00:07:34,495
I cannot wait to meet
the rest of the cast.
202
00:07:34,537 --> 00:07:35,997
- They're so great.
They can't wait either.
203
00:07:36,038 --> 00:07:38,332
- Ooh, fun! Can I have a beer?
- No, you cannot.
204
00:07:38,374 --> 00:07:39,459
This is a professional
environment.
205
00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:40,877
HANNAH: Well, you're
the one who decided
206
00:07:40,918 --> 00:07:42,420
to have a rehearsal in a pub.
207
00:07:42,461 --> 00:07:43,754
- Okay, the read-through
was supposed to begin
208
00:07:43,796 --> 00:07:45,006
10 minutes ago.
209
00:07:45,047 --> 00:07:46,924
- Meet Doug Berrie.
This is our stage manager.
210
00:07:46,966 --> 00:07:48,593
- Pleased to meet you,
Ms. Michaels.
211
00:07:48,634 --> 00:07:50,219
- Oh, Doug,
please call me Hannah.
212
00:07:50,261 --> 00:07:51,429
- Mm-hm.
- Please.
213
00:07:51,471 --> 00:07:53,097
- Yeah, I will call you
whatever you want,
214
00:07:53,139 --> 00:07:55,349
as long as you sign in
on time every day.
215
00:07:55,391 --> 00:07:57,435
- [chuckles] He's funny.
- Yeah, I'm not joking.
216
00:07:57,476 --> 00:07:59,145
Time's ticking.
Here we go.
217
00:07:59,187 --> 00:08:00,480
Pitter-patter, come on.
218
00:08:00,521 --> 00:08:02,815
BEA: Okay. [chuckles]
He cares a lot.
219
00:08:02,857 --> 00:08:04,567
Now, listen,
you're the new guy here,
220
00:08:04,609 --> 00:08:07,278
so it's okay if it takes you
a while to warm up to them.
221
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:08,696
- Hi, everybody!
- [group greets her]
222
00:08:08,738 --> 00:08:10,781
- I'd say she's all warmed up.
- Yeah, that was easy.
223
00:08:10,823 --> 00:08:13,159
Um, Hannah, I'd like
to introduce you to Maggie.
224
00:08:13,201 --> 00:08:15,203
She's playing your sister,
Bianca.
225
00:08:15,244 --> 00:08:16,996
She's also your understudy
as Kate.
226
00:08:17,038 --> 00:08:19,540
- Hi, Baya!
- Oh, it's actually "Bee-a."
227
00:08:19,582 --> 00:08:20,833
Short for Beatrice.
228
00:08:20,875 --> 00:08:23,169
- Like...
"To Be-a or not to Be-a."
229
00:08:23,211 --> 00:08:26,047
- Right. So sorry.
It's only my second year.
230
00:08:26,088 --> 00:08:27,548
- It's totally fine.
Happens all the time.
231
00:08:27,590 --> 00:08:29,842
This is Don.
He's playing one of the suitors.
232
00:08:29,884 --> 00:08:32,011
And this is Clay.
233
00:08:32,053 --> 00:08:34,388
He's gonna be playing
another one of your suitors.
234
00:08:34,430 --> 00:08:36,474
- Hi, there.
I'm Hannah.
235
00:08:36,515 --> 00:08:38,309
- I know.
Nice to meet you.
236
00:08:40,645 --> 00:08:43,856
You know, Hortensio and Kate
don't have many scenes together.
237
00:08:43,898 --> 00:08:45,691
- That's a shame.
- BEA: Alright, everybody.
238
00:08:45,733 --> 00:08:47,818
I took the liberty
of ordering us
239
00:08:47,860 --> 00:08:50,404
a couple of rounds
of Macbeth's Scotch Eggs.
240
00:08:50,446 --> 00:08:52,865
Get us in the mood.
Joy?
241
00:08:52,907 --> 00:08:55,409
I'd like to say a few words,
242
00:08:55,451 --> 00:08:58,371
but we are actually waiting
for our leading man, Petruchio--
243
00:08:58,412 --> 00:09:00,623
- [in dramatic voice] Hello!
Team Shakespeare Fest!
244
00:09:00,665 --> 00:09:02,833
I've returned
from the touring war
245
00:09:02,875 --> 00:09:04,627
that is
the Death of a Salesman,
246
00:09:04,669 --> 00:09:07,713
and I brought riches
from our plunder!
247
00:09:07,755 --> 00:09:10,049
- It's pizza, Benny.
Just say you brought pizza.
248
00:09:10,091 --> 00:09:12,593
- [in dramatic voice]
I brought pizza!
249
00:09:12,635 --> 00:09:14,512
Last tour stop was New Haven,
250
00:09:14,553 --> 00:09:17,723
and I got classic
Sal's Pizza for everyone!
251
00:09:17,765 --> 00:09:19,308
Mmm, still warm!
252
00:09:19,350 --> 00:09:21,060
- We were just
talking about this!
253
00:09:21,102 --> 00:09:22,353
Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho.
254
00:09:22,395 --> 00:09:24,605
♪
255
00:09:24,647 --> 00:09:26,649
- Benny, I was just about
to say a few words.
256
00:09:26,691 --> 00:09:28,067
- [with mouth full]
You can't say words
257
00:09:28,109 --> 00:09:29,944
and enjoy a perfect slice
at the same time?
258
00:09:29,986 --> 00:09:31,779
- Well, I wouldn't wanna
talk with my mouth full.
259
00:09:31,821 --> 00:09:32,989
Well, you're missing out.
260
00:09:33,030 --> 00:09:34,699
- You haven't changed a bit,
Gersten.
261
00:09:34,740 --> 00:09:36,284
Why mess with perfection?
262
00:09:36,325 --> 00:09:38,661
- Whoever called you perfect
was lying to your pretty face.
263
00:09:38,703 --> 00:09:41,080
- Oh?
You think I have a pretty face?
264
00:09:41,122 --> 00:09:43,165
- Ah, except you got a little
pizza sauce right there.
265
00:09:43,207 --> 00:09:45,543
DOUG: We can hear you guys,
just so you know.
266
00:09:45,585 --> 00:09:47,712
DON: I think I actually
missed the low hum
267
00:09:47,753 --> 00:09:49,964
of you two squabbling.
Just like old times.
268
00:09:51,924 --> 00:09:53,301
BEA: Hannah,
I'd like to introduce you
269
00:09:53,342 --> 00:09:54,719
to Benny Gersten.
270
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,805
He's playing your Petruchio.
I apologize in advance.
271
00:09:59,473 --> 00:10:00,975
- Right. Hannah.
- Yeah.
272
00:10:01,017 --> 00:10:02,226
- Nice to meet you.
- You too.
273
00:10:02,268 --> 00:10:03,394
Excuse me.
274
00:10:03,436 --> 00:10:04,979
I'm sorry...
Can we have a quick sidebar?
275
00:10:07,064 --> 00:10:11,235
- Okay, uh, finish up your pizza
and then maybe let's team up
276
00:10:11,277 --> 00:10:14,572
for a warm-up.
Maybe Roses, Buds, Thorns?
277
00:10:14,614 --> 00:10:15,781
HANNAH: Wait, wait,
roses and what?
278
00:10:15,823 --> 00:10:18,743
I'll be back in a sec.
279
00:10:18,784 --> 00:10:20,703
- Okay, what is the deal
with those two?
280
00:10:20,745 --> 00:10:24,081
- I heard just after college,
they played Romeo and Juliet
281
00:10:24,123 --> 00:10:26,250
and fell in love,
and then when the play ended,
282
00:10:26,292 --> 00:10:27,710
so did their relationship.
283
00:10:27,752 --> 00:10:29,128
Benny's a nomad actor,
284
00:10:29,170 --> 00:10:30,546
but his love of
classical Shakespeare
285
00:10:30,588 --> 00:10:32,048
always brings him back here.
286
00:10:32,089 --> 00:10:33,674
- Whenever Bea
directs at the festival,
287
00:10:33,716 --> 00:10:35,259
this is the way it is with them.
288
00:10:35,301 --> 00:10:36,552
Interesting.
289
00:10:36,594 --> 00:10:38,888
- I'm a little surprised
that you
290
00:10:38,929 --> 00:10:40,639
wanted to direct
Taming of the Shrew.
291
00:10:40,681 --> 00:10:43,851
Given that it's about a daughter
being married off like property.
292
00:10:43,893 --> 00:10:46,020
- I don't treat Shakespeare
as sacrosanct like you do.
293
00:10:46,062 --> 00:10:47,897
I'm gonna find a way
to make this play connect
294
00:10:47,938 --> 00:10:48,981
with today's audience.
295
00:10:49,023 --> 00:10:50,858
Historical context matters.
296
00:10:50,900 --> 00:10:53,611
This festival is a love letter
to classic Shakespeare.
297
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:55,488
We respect it
by doing it classically.
298
00:10:55,529 --> 00:10:57,615
- Well, all the parts
were played by men back then.
299
00:10:57,657 --> 00:10:59,617
Can't wait to see you
lace up in a corset
300
00:10:59,658 --> 00:11:01,285
to play Lady Macbeth
the classical way.
301
00:11:01,327 --> 00:11:03,746
- Look, all I'm saying is nobody
wants to see modern dance
302
00:11:03,788 --> 00:11:05,539
with some Elizabethan words
thrown in.
303
00:11:05,581 --> 00:11:09,085
Or the story of Romeo,
the emo influencer,
304
00:11:09,126 --> 00:11:10,878
and Juliet,
a true crime podcaster.
305
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,922
- See, I actually think
that sounds amazing.
306
00:11:12,963 --> 00:11:15,174
- [laughs] Of course it does.
To you.
307
00:11:15,216 --> 00:11:19,053
You set A Midsummer Night's
Dream at a college rave.
308
00:11:19,095 --> 00:11:20,930
You made
the entire audience dance,
309
00:11:20,971 --> 00:11:22,556
and I don't dance.
310
00:11:22,598 --> 00:11:24,016
Not even with a glow stick.
311
00:11:24,058 --> 00:11:26,102
You saw that production?
312
00:11:26,143 --> 00:11:28,562
And I... I have notes.
313
00:11:28,604 --> 00:11:31,190
Which is exactly why I shouldn't
be playing Petruchio.
314
00:11:31,232 --> 00:11:33,526
- Are you quitting on me?
- No, I'm not quitting.
315
00:11:33,567 --> 00:11:35,861
I'm just not playing the lead
in a show that you're directing.
316
00:11:35,903 --> 00:11:38,072
I'll, uh,
play some smaller role.
317
00:11:38,114 --> 00:11:41,534
- It'll have to be a role swap.
Any suggestions?
318
00:11:41,575 --> 00:11:43,035
Clay.
319
00:11:43,077 --> 00:11:46,038
I think he's paid his dues
playing supporting roles.
320
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,998
He's your best choice
to play opposite Hannah.
321
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:49,417
You seem awfully sure of this.
322
00:11:49,458 --> 00:11:50,835
- I know the company
better than you.
323
00:11:50,876 --> 00:11:52,002
Hey!
324
00:11:52,044 --> 00:11:53,838
- It's not a criticism.
It's just a fact.
325
00:11:53,879 --> 00:11:55,881
You've been away
a long time, Bea.
326
00:12:00,886 --> 00:12:03,264
- Quick update.
The role of Petruchio
327
00:12:03,305 --> 00:12:05,599
will now be played by Clay.
328
00:12:05,641 --> 00:12:07,059
Me...?
329
00:12:07,101 --> 00:12:08,561
You'll be great, Clay.
330
00:12:08,602 --> 00:12:10,980
- You will.
I love it.
331
00:12:11,021 --> 00:12:12,898
BEA: And that means, Benny,
332
00:12:12,940 --> 00:12:16,152
I hereby grant you
the role of Hortensio.
333
00:12:16,193 --> 00:12:18,821
- Oh!
A role I could do blindfolded
334
00:12:18,863 --> 00:12:20,656
with one hand
tied behind my back.
335
00:12:20,698 --> 00:12:22,741
- You know, I've always thought
Hortensio was actually a dancer.
336
00:12:22,783 --> 00:12:23,993
Don't you dare.
337
00:12:24,034 --> 00:12:26,287
- Okay, everyone,
grab your scripts and a water.
338
00:12:26,328 --> 00:12:28,748
We're gonna start
the table read.
339
00:12:28,789 --> 00:12:31,041
No, Hannah and Clay
as the two leads is much better.
340
00:12:31,083 --> 00:12:32,668
Thank you.
341
00:12:32,710 --> 00:12:33,961
Did you just thank me?
342
00:12:37,465 --> 00:12:39,717
What planet are you from,
343
00:12:39,759 --> 00:12:41,510
and what have you done
with Bea Bishop?
344
00:12:41,552 --> 00:12:42,803
Alright, tell me the truth.
345
00:12:42,845 --> 00:12:44,764
Why did you really
not wanna play Petruchio?
346
00:12:46,182 --> 00:12:47,892
I already told you.
347
00:12:47,933 --> 00:12:49,894
- You wanna know what I think?
- Not really.
348
00:12:49,935 --> 00:12:52,062
But I suspect
you're gonna tell me anyway.
349
00:12:52,104 --> 00:12:53,606
- I think you were afraid
Hannah Michaels
350
00:12:53,647 --> 00:12:54,899
was gonna outshine you.
351
00:12:54,940 --> 00:12:56,609
- Not at all.
It doesn't hurt me
352
00:12:56,650 --> 00:12:58,277
to see another actor
take the spotlight.
353
00:12:58,319 --> 00:13:00,070
- Alright, well, then maybe
you just couldn't handle
354
00:13:00,112 --> 00:13:02,406
the idea of me directing you
in a large role.
355
00:13:02,448 --> 00:13:04,200
I guess now we'll never know.
356
00:13:04,241 --> 00:13:06,368
- Everyone,
this first week of rehearsal
357
00:13:06,410 --> 00:13:08,913
might be our hardest yet.
358
00:13:08,954 --> 00:13:11,749
But I have faith
that if we work together,
359
00:13:11,791 --> 00:13:13,667
we're gonna make
something really special.
360
00:13:13,709 --> 00:13:14,710
Act One.
361
00:13:18,756 --> 00:13:20,174
JUAN: Toni, you're looking well!
362
00:13:20,216 --> 00:13:21,717
Oh! Thank you.
363
00:13:21,759 --> 00:13:22,968
And you must be Baya!
364
00:13:23,010 --> 00:13:25,346
Uh, it's Bea, for Beatrice.
365
00:13:25,387 --> 00:13:26,764
Apologies, of course.
366
00:13:26,806 --> 00:13:29,058
My kid's a huge fan of
the police show you direct on.
367
00:13:29,099 --> 00:13:31,644
- Oh.
- "The... Newbie"?
368
00:13:31,685 --> 00:13:34,146
- Thank you, that's sweet.
- I myself don't watch TV.
369
00:13:34,188 --> 00:13:35,731
Hm...
370
00:13:35,773 --> 00:13:40,528
- Uh, Juan,
before we get to our work today,
371
00:13:40,569 --> 00:13:44,031
um... I have some personal news.
372
00:13:45,533 --> 00:13:48,369
Watching this festival blossom
over the last 40 years
373
00:13:48,410 --> 00:13:52,164
into an institution
has been the honour of my life.
374
00:13:53,415 --> 00:13:56,919
But this season will be my last.
375
00:13:56,961 --> 00:13:59,088
- [sighs]
My dear Toni,
376
00:13:59,129 --> 00:14:01,048
I speak on behalf of the board
when I say
377
00:14:01,090 --> 00:14:02,216
it's been our absolute pleasure.
378
00:14:02,258 --> 00:14:04,301
Your timing is impeccable.
379
00:14:04,343 --> 00:14:06,220
The board was gonna wait
until the season was over
380
00:14:06,262 --> 00:14:07,346
to present it to you,
381
00:14:07,388 --> 00:14:09,139
but if you're planning
to retire anyway,
382
00:14:09,181 --> 00:14:11,350
we received a buyout offer
for the festival.
383
00:14:11,392 --> 00:14:13,561
- What?
From-- from who?
384
00:14:13,602 --> 00:14:15,104
- They prefer to remain
anonymous,
385
00:14:15,145 --> 00:14:17,398
but I can say
it's a media company
386
00:14:17,439 --> 00:14:19,024
and a generous offer.
387
00:14:19,066 --> 00:14:20,776
- Is this the same company
that bought out
388
00:14:20,818 --> 00:14:22,653
the Woodridge Festival
last spring?
389
00:14:22,695 --> 00:14:24,572
I can neither confirm nor deny.
390
00:14:24,613 --> 00:14:28,409
- Do you know that they stream
every opening night online?
391
00:14:28,450 --> 00:14:29,994
God, the audacity.
392
00:14:30,035 --> 00:14:33,622
Downsized cast and crew,
the cut out shows.
393
00:14:33,664 --> 00:14:36,917
We ended up hiring several
of the people they laid off.
394
00:14:36,959 --> 00:14:39,879
BEA: Yeah, this festival,
it must stay independent.
395
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,590
- I want that too,
but I am only one vote.
396
00:14:42,631 --> 00:14:45,009
From the board's perspective,
if you leave
397
00:14:45,050 --> 00:14:46,885
and we don't have a proper
successor for festival head...
398
00:14:46,927 --> 00:14:48,971
We have a proper successor.
399
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,267
My Bea.
400
00:14:53,309 --> 00:14:54,143
[chuckles awkwardly]
401
00:14:56,353 --> 00:14:57,980
- I wasn't aware
that was the plan.
402
00:14:58,022 --> 00:15:00,399
This is the new plan.
403
00:15:00,441 --> 00:15:03,861
- I've been preparing for this
my entire life, Juan.
404
00:15:03,903 --> 00:15:05,029
Literally.
405
00:15:05,070 --> 00:15:07,489
Interesting.
406
00:15:07,531 --> 00:15:09,491
As you know, even though
you founded the festival, Toni,
407
00:15:09,533 --> 00:15:12,828
the board must unanimously
approve a new festival head.
408
00:15:12,870 --> 00:15:14,288
You need to
prove yourself capable
409
00:15:14,330 --> 00:15:15,706
these next few weeks, Bea.
410
00:15:15,748 --> 00:15:18,000
- Of course.
Yes.
411
00:15:18,042 --> 00:15:21,962
And how, in your mind,
would I do that?
412
00:15:22,004 --> 00:15:24,131
- The board will want to see how
Taming of the Shrew
413
00:15:24,173 --> 00:15:25,758
fares under your guidance.
414
00:15:25,799 --> 00:15:28,010
Like with your celebrity friend,
for instance.
415
00:15:28,052 --> 00:15:30,804
- Well, Hannah Michaels is
an incredibly dedicated actress.
416
00:15:30,846 --> 00:15:33,599
She's diving into this character
with her whole heart.
417
00:15:33,641 --> 00:15:37,102
I... I can assure you, she's
way more than just a celebrity.
418
00:15:37,144 --> 00:15:39,438
JUAN: Well,
that will be important to see.
419
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,400
If it's a critical
and financial success,
420
00:15:43,442 --> 00:15:45,903
then there's no reason
not to approve you to take over.
421
00:15:47,363 --> 00:15:48,906
BEA: What in the world was that?
422
00:15:48,947 --> 00:15:50,157
TONI: It's bigger than me.
423
00:15:50,199 --> 00:15:51,283
It's bigger than us.
424
00:15:51,325 --> 00:15:53,077
Mom, this is bad.
425
00:15:53,118 --> 00:15:55,496
I called my agent this week
and I passed on directing
426
00:15:55,537 --> 00:15:57,373
more episodes of "The Newbie"
because I didn't know
427
00:15:57,414 --> 00:15:58,832
there were more hoops
to jump through.
428
00:15:58,874 --> 00:16:00,250
Well, there won't be
429
00:16:00,292 --> 00:16:02,294
once your Taming of the Shrew
is a smash hit.
430
00:16:02,336 --> 00:16:04,171
Which I can't guarantee!
431
00:16:05,422 --> 00:16:07,424
Oh, you've got this.
432
00:16:07,466 --> 00:16:08,926
And you heard Juan.
433
00:16:08,967 --> 00:16:11,428
I mean, if we don't nail
this final show of the season,
434
00:16:11,470 --> 00:16:13,806
they're gonna sell the festival.
435
00:16:13,847 --> 00:16:15,641
- It's all got so much
pressure on it.
436
00:16:16,975 --> 00:16:18,936
We don't have another choice.
437
00:16:21,063 --> 00:16:22,022
[sighs]
438
00:16:22,064 --> 00:16:25,109
♪
439
00:16:25,150 --> 00:16:30,197
[indistinct chatter]
440
00:16:33,826 --> 00:16:37,996
- Okay, welcome to our
second week of rehearsals.
441
00:16:38,038 --> 00:16:42,209
I have decided to set this play
on a stock trading room floor.
442
00:16:42,251 --> 00:16:44,503
I'm also exploring the idea
of blending modern
443
00:16:44,545 --> 00:16:46,547
and Elizabethan costumes.
444
00:16:46,588 --> 00:16:49,299
Stay with me; it's critical
that we keep these characters
445
00:16:49,341 --> 00:16:50,968
relevant to a modern audience.
446
00:16:51,009 --> 00:16:53,011
- [under his breath]
Good luck.
447
00:16:53,053 --> 00:16:54,638
- Benny...?
- Mm-hm?
448
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,306
Something to share?
449
00:16:56,348 --> 00:16:59,351
- Ah, in my experience,
Shakespeare done classically
450
00:16:59,393 --> 00:17:00,477
never steers you wrong.
451
00:17:02,604 --> 00:17:05,399
- Just gimme one...
quick second.
452
00:17:05,441 --> 00:17:06,942
Can I talk to you, please?
453
00:17:06,984 --> 00:17:09,028
Just because you can't imagine
relevant ways
454
00:17:09,069 --> 00:17:10,571
of bringing Shakespeare
to the 21st century
455
00:17:10,612 --> 00:17:12,865
doesn't mean I can't.
456
00:17:12,906 --> 00:17:14,241
I respect tradition.
457
00:17:14,283 --> 00:17:16,702
- I was taught tradition too,
just not traditionally.
458
00:17:16,744 --> 00:17:18,662
Learn the rules so you know
when to break them.
459
00:17:18,704 --> 00:17:20,247
That's the entire message
of the play.
460
00:17:20,289 --> 00:17:22,291
BENNY: No, it's not.
BEA: Well, it is to me.
461
00:17:22,332 --> 00:17:24,376
- Am I the only one seeing
electricity between those two?
462
00:17:24,418 --> 00:17:27,087
- Oh, no.
We all see it.
463
00:17:27,129 --> 00:17:30,090
- You know what? They'd make
a great couple, if only...
464
00:17:30,132 --> 00:17:32,634
If only they could agree on...
465
00:17:32,676 --> 00:17:33,802
anything?
466
00:17:33,844 --> 00:17:35,054
BEA: If Shakespeare
were alive today,
467
00:17:35,095 --> 00:17:36,096
he would almost certainly...
468
00:17:36,138 --> 00:17:38,557
Love comes in many forms.
469
00:17:38,599 --> 00:17:40,184
Grab a snack while
they go another round?
470
00:17:40,225 --> 00:17:41,935
ALL: Yeah.
471
00:17:41,977 --> 00:17:43,395
Okay.
472
00:17:43,437 --> 00:17:46,273
- You want a revolution.
- You want dusty museum pieces!
473
00:17:46,315 --> 00:17:48,817
- "Those who forget the past
are doomed to repeat it."
474
00:17:48,859 --> 00:17:51,820
- Can we just start
the rehearsal, please?
475
00:17:51,862 --> 00:17:53,030
That would be difficult.
476
00:17:55,699 --> 00:17:57,326
Where did everyone go?
477
00:17:57,367 --> 00:17:59,995
- Oh, probably to the tavern
for a pint and a round of darts.
478
00:18:00,037 --> 00:18:02,456
Maybe two, depending on how long
you two keep this nonsense up.
479
00:18:02,498 --> 00:18:03,665
Time's ticking.
480
00:18:03,707 --> 00:18:05,417
- Can you please
get everybody back, Doug?
481
00:18:05,459 --> 00:18:07,211
Thank you, Doug.
I appreciate you, Doug.
482
00:18:07,252 --> 00:18:08,337
Okay.
483
00:18:10,214 --> 00:18:12,174
- Come on,
what's a little creative debate
484
00:18:12,216 --> 00:18:14,301
between like-minded
artists, hmm?
485
00:18:14,343 --> 00:18:16,970
No, no.
486
00:18:17,012 --> 00:18:20,432
I don't have time for your--
your Gersten shenanigans.
487
00:18:20,474 --> 00:18:22,518
There's things going on
that you don't know about.
488
00:18:22,559 --> 00:18:24,812
- I knew you were
keeping a secret.
489
00:18:26,438 --> 00:18:27,606
Come on.
490
00:18:29,525 --> 00:18:31,902
My mom's retiring...
491
00:18:31,944 --> 00:18:33,779
and I wanna take over
as festival head.
492
00:18:35,114 --> 00:18:36,323
Wow.
493
00:18:36,365 --> 00:18:39,326
- But the board
has a buyout offer on the table.
494
00:18:39,368 --> 00:18:41,203
- They might sell the festival?
- They might.
495
00:18:41,245 --> 00:18:43,247
If they don't approve me
to take over,
496
00:18:43,288 --> 00:18:46,375
then the festival
as we know it is over.
497
00:18:46,416 --> 00:18:48,919
This play has to be a success,
Benny.
498
00:18:48,961 --> 00:18:52,131
I need your help,
for the festival's sake.
499
00:18:52,172 --> 00:18:53,549
We can't let it happen.
500
00:18:53,590 --> 00:18:56,885
- So, you'll help me?
- Of course I will.
501
00:18:56,927 --> 00:18:58,846
Truce?
502
00:18:58,887 --> 00:19:00,889
- No, "truce" means
we'll fight again another day.
503
00:19:00,931 --> 00:19:03,600
- Alright,
so, what's the right word?
504
00:19:03,642 --> 00:19:05,686
- Peace?
- Peace.
505
00:19:05,727 --> 00:19:08,272
Okay, well,
now we just need to figure out
506
00:19:08,313 --> 00:19:10,440
who's right about
how to make the show a success,
507
00:19:10,482 --> 00:19:11,483
you or me.
508
00:19:11,525 --> 00:19:12,901
Me.
509
00:19:12,943 --> 00:19:14,403
- Ah.
What could go wrong?
510
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,536
BEA: So, how was your
first week and a half?
511
00:19:22,578 --> 00:19:25,163
- [yawns]
Lovely.
512
00:19:25,205 --> 00:19:27,791
- [laughs]
You getting any sleep at all?
513
00:19:27,833 --> 00:19:29,209
A little.
514
00:19:29,251 --> 00:19:31,962
I was up way too late
texting last night.
515
00:19:32,004 --> 00:19:33,630
Well, coffee, stat.
516
00:19:33,672 --> 00:19:35,465
Got a long day
of rehearsal ahead of us.
517
00:19:35,507 --> 00:19:37,634
By the way,
I hate to do this to you,
518
00:19:37,676 --> 00:19:39,595
but you're gonna have to have
all of your lines
519
00:19:39,636 --> 00:19:40,971
fully memorized by this weekend.

as head of the festival.

Hannah?

Yeah, she gets it.
881
00:33:58,286 --> 00:34:00,121
By the way, I think
you should teach everybody

883
00:34:01,247 --> 00:34:03,458
the acronym one.
884
00:34:03,499 --> 00:34:04,917
Nah, you should teach 'em.
885
00:34:04,959 --> 00:34:08,129
- No, you teach them.
Everybody looks up to you.
886
00:34:08,171 --> 00:34:10,506
- They do?
- Yeah, of course.
887
00:34:10,548 --> 00:34:12,925

fellow actors a note.

You're the director.

with each other differently.

No, it's not dry.

We're done.

- I know, I was just
paying you a compliment.

compliments right now.

No, we do not.

- Hannah thinks Bea and Benny
are star-crossed lovers.

- Hannah, you're new here,
so let me explain something.

The only thing
that Bea and Benny do
928

when they're together
is fight.
929
00:35:36,676 --> 00:35:38,761
- I promise you, what's happening
with Bea and Benny is love.
930
00:35:38,803 --> 00:35:40,847
Weird, witty, passionate love.
931
00:35:40,888 --> 00:35:42,306
I mean, look at them.
932
00:35:42,348 --> 00:35:44,350
That's nothing but love.

Even if Bea and Benny's
non-traditional chemistry
934
00:35:46,686 --> 00:35:48,521
is obvious to us,
they'll never see it.
935
00:35:48,563 --> 00:35:49,438
They're too stubborn.
936
00:35:50,857 --> 00:35:52,483
They need a little...
937
00:35:52,525 --> 00:35:53,943
push.
938
00:35:53,985 --> 00:35:55,778
We need to get them
out of their own way.

How?

00:35:57,113 --> 00:35:58,739
HANNAH: The only way Bea
will feel safe enough
941
00:35:58,781 --> 00:35:59,907
to allow her feelings
for Benny...
942
00:35:59,949 --> 00:36:01,200
would be to prove...
943
00:36:01,242 --> 00:36:03,953
that Benny is head over heels
in love with her.
944
00:36:03,995 --> 00:36:05,997
- But Benny would also need
that same proof
945
00:36:06,038 --> 00:36:08,749
in order to even admit
his feelings for her.
946
00:36:08,791 --> 00:36:11,043
Exactly.
947
00:36:11,085 --> 00:36:13,588

a little help
948
00:36:13,629 --> 00:36:15,798
from their friends?
949

really good.

00:40:28,342 --> 00:40:31,637
- What? Me? No, no.
I-I need fuel for rehearsal.
1047
00:40:31,679 --> 00:40:34,056
- Yes, yes.
Mainline that caffeine!
1048
00:40:34,098 --> 00:40:36,058
- Ooh, boy!
- Boo-oy!
1049
00:40:39,436 --> 00:40:40,896
- Should we head over?
- Yup.
1050
00:40:42,648 --> 00:40:44,233
- I just need
to ask you something.
1051
00:40:44,275 --> 00:40:46,026
Something?
1052
00:40:46,068 --> 00:40:47,069
What something is that?
1053
00:40:49,572 --> 00:40:51,198
It's about the play.
1054
00:40:51,240 --> 00:40:52,575
- The play?
- Yeah.
1055
00:40:52,616 --> 00:40:54,827
You wanted to check in
with me about the play?
1056
00:40:54,869 --> 00:40:56,203
Yeah.
1057
00:40:56,245 --> 00:40:57,913
I think the thing
I'm struggling with
1058
00:40:57,955 --> 00:40:59,582
is that everything
these two characters do
1059
00:40:59,623 --> 00:41:01,292
doesn't line up with them
loving each other.
1060
00:41:01,333 --> 00:41:02,418
That's what the story is.
1061
00:41:02,460 --> 00:41:03,919
- But is that really
the best version?
1062
00:41:03,961 --> 00:41:06,005
Because, to me,
if they were on the same side,
1063
00:41:06,046 --> 00:41:07,548
it'd be a way better story.
1064
00:41:07,590 --> 00:41:09,467
- You mean if they were a team?
- Yes.
1065
00:41:12,595 --> 00:41:14,388
I'm talking about
Kate and Petruchio.
1066
00:41:14,430 --> 00:41:15,514
- Right.
- Yeah.
1067
00:41:17,224 --> 00:41:19,018
How would that work?
1068
00:41:19,059 --> 00:41:20,561
Well, you'll hate this...
1069
00:41:20,603 --> 00:41:22,438
because it's an untraditional
take on a traditional play.
1070
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,565
- Oh, you wanna set it
on the moon now?
1071
00:41:24,607 --> 00:41:26,233
It's a little late
in the rehearsal process
1072
00:41:26,275 --> 00:41:28,527
- to fit the cast in spacesuits.
- Stop.
1073
00:41:28,569 --> 00:41:31,363
What if, instead of Kate being
forced to marry Petruchio...
1074
00:41:31,405 --> 00:41:33,949
she's just in it for the dowry?
1075
00:41:33,991 --> 00:41:35,701
Say more.
1076
00:41:35,743 --> 00:41:38,204
- She's convinced her father
that she's being compliant,
1077
00:41:38,245 --> 00:41:40,539
- but that's her strategy.
- Why would she do that?
1078
00:41:40,581 --> 00:41:42,917
- Because she and Petruchio
are scheming together.
1079
00:41:42,958 --> 00:41:44,668
And then that's how
they fall in love,
1080
00:41:44,710 --> 00:41:46,921
and then they get the money,
and then they outwit everybody.
1081
00:41:46,962 --> 00:41:48,297
- Does the text
support it, though?
1082
00:41:48,339 --> 00:41:50,549
In spots, yes.
1083
00:41:50,591 --> 00:41:52,968
- Unless you split
the dialogue up between them.
1084
00:41:53,010 --> 00:41:55,262
- Double up some lines.
- Exactly.
1085
00:41:55,304 --> 00:41:57,556
Have them said by both of them.
1086
00:41:57,598 --> 00:41:59,934
- That way, it's all still
Mr. Shakespeare's words, but...
1087
00:41:59,975 --> 00:42:01,936
- You're just using
them differently.
1088
00:42:01,977 --> 00:42:03,896
Purists will be mad.
Heck, you'll be mad.
1089
00:42:03,938 --> 00:42:05,064
You'll be madder than anyone.
1090
00:42:05,105 --> 00:42:07,107
- Oh, you know every
alarm bell in my body
1091
00:42:07,149 --> 00:42:08,192
is clanging like crazy.
1092
00:42:09,735 --> 00:42:12,780
But I also know if anyone
can pull it off, it's you.
1093
00:42:14,740 --> 00:42:16,825
You really mean that?
1094
00:42:16,867 --> 00:42:18,202
You know I do.
1095
00:42:22,790 --> 00:42:24,416
What about the board?
1096
00:42:24,458 --> 00:42:26,794
If it doesn't work, they won't
approve me as festival head.
1097
00:42:26,835 --> 00:42:28,337
- They will,
if the audience loves it.
1098
00:42:28,379 --> 00:42:30,214
And this is a solid way
to do that.
1099
00:42:30,256 --> 00:42:32,299
- I can't believe I was gonna
make the whole play
1100
00:42:32,341 --> 00:42:33,550
about battling stockbrokers.
1101
00:42:33,592 --> 00:42:35,552
- [chuckles] I know.
I nearly passed out.
1102
00:42:35,594 --> 00:42:37,721
- It's what you said about
historical context, right?
1103
00:42:37,763 --> 00:42:41,058
So, we'll do, in addition
to the hybrid costumes,
1104
00:42:41,100 --> 00:42:43,227
we'll have them
share dialogue as well.
1105
00:42:43,269 --> 00:42:46,105
- And if you adjust the lines
just a bit,
1106
00:42:46,146 --> 00:42:49,233
this can become a love story
that everyone relates to.
1107
00:42:49,275 --> 00:42:51,402
- I can't believe you just
said those words out loud.
1108
00:42:51,443 --> 00:42:53,195
Me neither.
1109
00:42:53,237 --> 00:42:55,698
- Are we having
a creative conversation?
1110
00:42:55,739 --> 00:42:57,116
We are.
1111
00:42:57,157 --> 00:42:58,409
Without fighting?
1112
00:42:58,450 --> 00:42:59,577
Yes, ma'am.
1113
00:42:59,618 --> 00:43:01,078
For the first time ever?
1114
00:43:03,205 --> 00:43:04,915
- There is something
I wanna ask you.
1115
00:43:06,250 --> 00:43:08,043
- There's something
I wanna ask you too.

00:43:14,258 --> 00:43:16,176
- Yes, Doug,
we're right behind you.
1120
00:43:18,012 --> 00:43:18,971
Après thee.
1121
00:43:21,140 --> 00:43:22,182

and you're having a snack.

truly terrible at your job?
1178
00:45:59,131 --> 00:46:00,340
Sure.
1179
00:46:00,382 --> 00:46:03,302
Years ago, Toni,
she got some funding
1180
00:46:03,343 --> 00:46:05,387
to train a handful of actors.
1181
00:46:05,429 --> 00:46:08,557
I applied, I got in,
and I moved here to study.
1182
00:46:08,599 --> 00:46:10,642
I was the only actor
who came from out of town.
1183
00:46:11,810 --> 00:46:14,021
It was terrifying.
1184
00:46:14,062 --> 00:46:17,775
And back then,
I think I truly was terrible,
1185
00:46:17,816 --> 00:46:18,901

We were kids.
1191
00:46:31,205 --> 00:46:33,081
The first day, we were
put together in a scene
1192
00:46:33,123 --> 00:46:36,001
as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.
1193
00:46:36,043 --> 00:46:38,045
- Not the most romantic
of pairings.
1194
00:46:38,086 --> 00:46:39,046
[laughs]
1195
00:46:39,087 --> 00:46:40,297
No.
1196
00:46:40,339 --> 00:46:41,256
Not at all.
1197
00:46:43,759 --> 00:46:44,760
But we crushed it.
1198
00:46:46,720 --> 00:46:48,972
After that, I stopped
worrying about if I was good.
1199
00:46:50,557 --> 00:46:52,935
I just wanted
to show up for her.
1200
00:46:52,976 --> 00:46:54,019
She was fearless.
1201
00:46:55,687 --> 00:46:57,606
Patient.
1202
00:46:57,648 --> 00:47:00,192
She had
this playfulness about her.
1203
00:47:00,234 --> 00:47:01,151
It freed me.
1204
00:47:02,528 --> 00:47:03,403
It's still there.

like that with Clay.

I don't think the acronym trick
is working for me.
1212
00:47:26,635 --> 00:47:28,971
- I have another method that
might help with memorization.
1213
00:47:29,012 --> 00:47:30,430
It's pretty easy
once you learn it.

00:47:30,472 --> 00:47:32,266
- Okay.
Really?
1215
00:47:32,307 --> 00:47:34,977
- Yeah.
Yeah, let me teach it to you.

Have you heard of
a memory palace?
1217
00:47:36,937 --> 00:47:38,438
Yup.
1218
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:41,316
- It's not nearly as complicated
as that, don't worry.
1219
00:47:41,358 --> 00:47:43,819
♪
1220
00:47:43,860 --> 00:47:45,696
- Try that, but...
- It's making her work for it.
1221
00:47:45,737 --> 00:47:46,905
- Right!
- Basically.
1222
00:47:46,947 --> 00:47:48,865
- Right, make him earn it.
Just play with it.
1223
00:47:48,907 --> 00:47:51,660
Mom! Juan! Ah!
1224
00:47:51,702 --> 00:47:53,245
What brings you by?
1225
00:47:53,287 --> 00:47:56,248
- We were just going over
some financials for next season.
1226
00:47:56,290 --> 00:47:58,375
- Is Hannah Michaels
not rehearsing today?
1227
00:47:58,417 --> 00:48:00,335
- Oh, she's just
getting some air.
1228
00:48:00,377 --> 00:48:02,379
- Awfully confident of her
to skip rehearsal.
1229
00:48:02,421 --> 00:48:03,380
And where's Clay?
1230
00:48:04,631 --> 00:48:07,175
- He's getting some...
other air.
1231
00:48:07,217 --> 00:48:08,343
Really?
1232
00:48:08,385 --> 00:48:10,304
- And in the meantime
we're sorting out
1233
00:48:10,345 --> 00:48:11,972
some of the blocking
with Don and Maggie.
1234
00:48:12,014 --> 00:48:13,015
Have you met Maggie?
1235
00:48:13,056 --> 00:48:16,310
[gasps]
Juan, come here!
1236
00:48:16,351 --> 00:48:19,271
Maggie!
You two will love each other.
1237
00:48:19,313 --> 00:48:20,856
Yeah, ask her about Ashland.
1238
00:48:22,524 --> 00:48:25,152
Is anything wrong?
1239
00:48:25,193 --> 00:48:26,903
- My two leads aren't
speaking to each other,
1240
00:48:26,945 --> 00:48:28,488
and if I don't
pull off this play
1241
00:48:28,530 --> 00:48:29,781
to critical
and financial success,
1242
00:48:29,823 --> 00:48:31,366
then I won't get my dream job
1243
00:48:31,408 --> 00:48:33,368
and then the whole thing
gets sold off for parts
1244
00:48:33,410 --> 00:48:34,995
and then I leave your legacy
in tatters.
1245
00:48:35,037 --> 00:48:36,413
But other than that,
no, nothing's wrong.
1246
00:48:40,042 --> 00:48:42,753
That was dramatic.
1247
00:48:42,794 --> 00:48:44,046
- [sighs]
- Where's Benny?
1248
00:48:44,087 --> 00:48:46,298
He usually brings out
the best in you.
1249
00:48:46,340 --> 00:48:48,925
- You know, he actually might be
the reason I'm spiralling.
1250
00:48:48,967 --> 00:48:50,427
Ooh.
1251
00:48:50,469 --> 00:48:51,345
Let me guess.
1252
00:48:52,638 --> 00:48:53,972
You've realized
1253
00:48:54,014 --> 00:48:56,433
that there's still
something special between you?
1254
00:48:56,475 --> 00:48:58,894
- How am I the very
last person to know about this?
1255
00:48:58,936 --> 00:49:01,313
- Oh, I hope they didn't
give you any spoilers.
1256
00:49:01,355 --> 00:49:03,482
- It's a 400-year-old play;
I already know the ending.
1257
00:49:03,523 --> 00:49:06,985
- Oh, yes, but you don't know
what surprises Bea has in store.
1258
00:49:07,027 --> 00:49:08,570
JUAN: True.
1259
00:49:08,612 --> 00:49:10,697
True, the board and I
will have a keen eye
1260
00:49:10,739 --> 00:49:11,949
on the audience's reaction
opening night,
1261
00:49:11,990 --> 00:49:14,076
and box office receipts,
of course.
1262
00:49:14,117 --> 00:49:16,036
- Of course.
Yes.
1263
00:49:16,078 --> 00:49:19,539
And just wait until you see
how perfect it's all gonna be.
1264
00:49:19,581 --> 00:49:22,292
I myself am dying to see.
1265
00:49:22,334 --> 00:49:23,543
I'm just dying.
1266
00:49:31,385 --> 00:49:33,428
Am I... interrupting?
1267
00:49:33,470 --> 00:49:36,306
Looks like you and the bard are
having an intense discussion.
1268
00:49:36,348 --> 00:49:38,934
- He's got a lot to say about
my impostor syndrome.
1269
00:49:38,976 --> 00:49:40,435
"Who do you think you are, Bea?
1270
00:49:40,477 --> 00:49:42,729
"This play is gonna be
a disaster, Bea."
1271
00:49:42,771 --> 00:49:43,939

Mm, trying a new move.
1276
00:49:58,286 --> 00:49:59,579

What?
1279
00:50:07,254 --> 00:50:10,173
- I never apologized for how
I ended things between us.
1280
00:50:10,215 --> 00:50:11,341
It wasn't right.
1281
00:50:11,383 --> 00:50:13,385
Bea, it's fine.
1282
00:50:13,427 --> 00:50:16,471
- It's very obviously not fine
if you're still upset about it.
1283
00:50:16,513 --> 00:50:19,182
- I shouldn't have said anything.
I'm sorry.
1284
00:50:19,224 --> 00:50:22,185
- Stop apologizing!
I'm the one apologizing here.
1285
00:50:22,227 --> 00:50:23,437
This is my apology time.
1286
00:50:25,355 --> 00:50:26,648
By all means, then.
1287
00:50:30,402 --> 00:50:31,445
I'm sorry.
1288
00:50:32,696 --> 00:50:33,613
Accepted.
1289
00:50:35,073 --> 00:50:36,032
Is that it?
1290
00:50:38,326 --> 00:50:41,455
- Why didn't you wanna play
Petruchio with me directing?
1291
00:50:41,496 --> 00:50:43,290
- I don't wanna answer
that question right now.
1292
00:50:43,331 --> 00:50:44,416
Why not?
1293
00:50:44,458 --> 00:50:45,959
- Because we have
bigger problems.
1294
00:50:48,545 --> 00:50:50,422
- You think it's possible
that our plan to break up
1295
00:50:50,464 --> 00:50:51,840
Hannah and Clay might have...
1296
00:50:51,882 --> 00:50:53,967
- Made things worse
for the play and not better?
1297
00:50:54,009 --> 00:50:55,552
- Do you think?
- Yeah, maybe a little.
1298
00:50:56,762 --> 00:50:58,180
Oh, no.
1299
00:50:58,221 --> 00:51:00,474
I fear had we not meddled,
those two crazy kids
1300
00:51:00,515 --> 00:51:01,641
might have actually
stood a chance.
1301
00:51:01,683 --> 00:51:03,268
We have to fix this.
1302
00:51:03,310 --> 00:51:04,936
The play opens
in less than a week.
1303
00:51:04,978 --> 00:51:06,521
How do we do that?
1304
00:51:06,563 --> 00:51:08,982
- We approach them together
and we talk to them.
1305
00:51:09,024 --> 00:51:10,567
As a united front.
1306
00:51:10,609 --> 00:51:13,487
- You think the two of us
should advise them on love?
1307
00:51:13,528 --> 00:51:15,197
Maybe we leave it alone.
1308
00:51:15,238 --> 00:51:17,657
- Yeah, you know, chances are
it's gonna sort itself out.
1309
00:51:17,699 --> 00:51:18,784
They're both adults.
1310
00:51:18,825 --> 00:51:20,035
Yeah.
1311
00:51:20,077 --> 00:51:21,745
And then worst case,
we'll just trick them
1312
00:51:21,787 --> 00:51:23,079
into falling back in love.
1313
00:51:23,121 --> 00:51:25,332

a whole lot more fun.

dancing right now.

what would happen
1472
00:58:10,737 --> 00:58:12,530
if they figured out
we tricked them.
1473
00:58:12,572 --> 00:58:14,449

so head-over-heels in love

trust me.

- [laughs]
1478
00:58:22,207 --> 00:58:24,417

Bea can stay focused
1479

next year.

1482
00:58:28,671 --> 00:58:31,216
- If Bea isn't approved
to take over from Toni,
1483
00:58:31,257 --> 00:58:32,800
the board's gonna
sell the festival.
1484
00:58:34,510 --> 00:58:36,888
- And what's the board
basing Bea's approval on?

Well, if I were a betting man,

Taming of the Shrew.

You still are.

- Well, the whole reason
I became an actor
1511
00:59:38,616 --> 00:59:40,285
in the first place was Toni.
1512

that's why I went to New York.

because all we had

was festival love
and nothing more for you.

knock it out of the park,

then I might not be
approved as festival head,

01:09:10,145 --> 01:09:12,815
Be here.
Alright, with your Petruchio.

Partner's foot.
1744
01:09:19,697 --> 01:09:23,784
- And place your hands
below your partner's foot.
1745
01:09:23,826 --> 01:09:27,663
In token of which duty,
if she please.
1746
01:09:28,873 --> 01:09:32,084
- My hand is ready,
may it do her ease.
1747
01:09:33,919 --> 01:09:35,880
- Come on.
Kiss me, Kate.
1748
01:09:37,506 --> 01:09:39,383
- You would have made
a brilliant Petruchio.

this is working.

let's take it from the top.

Yeah, thank you, Doug.

Thank you.
Good job.
1755

- Okay.
- Good.

No!
1757

To make a stale of me
amongst these mates.

Ugh, I cannot believe
I'm still learning these lines

the day of the show!
1760

I've been texting her all day.
1761
01:10:07,494 --> 01:10:10,372
I even left a voice memo
of me reciting a sonnet.
1762
01:10:10,414 --> 01:10:12,041
She ghosted me.
1763
01:10:12,082 --> 01:10:14,043
- You know this has
nothing to do with you, right?
1764
01:10:14,084 --> 01:10:15,377
This is about Hannah
and her confidence.
1765
01:10:15,419 --> 01:10:17,087
She's afraid.
1766
01:10:17,129 --> 01:10:18,714
Yeah, I guess just keep trying.
1767

Wow.

a chance to say this, but...
1770
01:10:26,597 --> 01:10:29,099
I think you'd make
a great festival head.

Regardless of what Benny says.

What did Benny say?
1773
01:10:33,062 --> 01:10:35,689
- Oh, that you had
impossible shoes to fill.

How's everybody feeling, huh?
1775

what to do with my hair?
1777

- Of course.
- This is a nightmare.
1778
01:10:46,283 --> 01:10:47,618
Yeah, I'll be right there.
1779
01:10:48,953 --> 01:10:50,204
You got this.
1780

- No, I definitely
do not got this.

so you're already halfway there.

- No, that's not
what this is about.
1783

I don't belong on that stage.

I belong backstage
in jeans and a baseball cap.

I learned that years ago.
1786

That's what Romeo and Juliet
taught me.
1787
01:11:03,300 --> 01:11:05,594

head of the festival next.

Am I?
1789
01:11:08,305 --> 01:11:09,974
Or do I have
"impossible shoes to fill"?

01:11:11,266 --> 01:11:12,226
What?
1791
01:11:13,394 --> 01:11:14,687
You said that to Clay.
1792
01:11:14,728 --> 01:11:16,522

a figure of speech.

Hm?

You're welcome.
