ForeWord Reviews By John Michael Senger Book Review November 2010
The Nebraska Dispatches
Christopher Cartmill, successful New York playwright, director, and actor, disregarded Thomas Wolfe’s famous advice that “You can’t go home again,” and returned to his home in Nebraska to research and write a play. His subject was Chief Standing Bear, a Ponca Indian who in 1879 sued the United States government and won. The turmoil that enveloped Cartmill and renewed his bond with home, in the broadest meaning of that word, is gracefully retold in The Nebraska Dispatches.
Standing Bear was chief of the Ponca Indians living along the Niobrara River in Northern Nebraska in the mid 1800s, when the US government moved many of the Indian tribes to the Oklahoma territory. Standing Bear’s son died in Oklahoma, having first requested burial in Nebraska with his ancestors. To honor his son’s request, Standing Bear returned to Nebraska, where he was arrested and incarcerated. He declared he was being held illegally, and sued the US government for a writ of habeas corpus. The Court agreed with the chief and he was freed to quietly live out his life in Nebraska.
The Nebraska Dispatches is far more than just the story of Standing Bear, although that alone would make for an interesting tale. Cartmill also tells his own story, of his return to his roots and reconciliation with place and history. The story’s pace and drama builds as Cartmill meets the people of Nebraska and hears their stories.
Flowing throughout is the undercurrent of anger and bitterness that irresolutely defines the relationship between the Plains Indians and their white neighbors. Cartmill is forced to confront the idea that stories matter. History is not abstract, but about actual people and events that have consequences yet today. As Susan Cloud Horse, an Omaha Indian, tells him: “First of all, I’m going to tell you this again: by what you’re doing you’re stirring up five hundred years of anger, pain, and shame.”
The Nebraska Dispatches refrains from bravado or overstatement; nevertheless, it is an intense and dynamic book. Cartmill is expert at relating his own story and just enough information about the Poncas, Standing Bear, and other Plains Indians. He intertwines these sagas to make them part of a larger story of America and how Americans connect to home. In the end, Cartmill proves Wolfe wrong. Not only can one go home again, but there can be much to be learned from the experience. (November) John Michael Senger

DON'T DRINK THE LEMONADE!
Cartmill hosts the ROMANTIC AND REVOLUTIONARY play reading series and begins with the play in which the young Friedrich Schiller tested his considerable dramatic talent, the bold follow-up to his wildly successful first play, THE ROBBERS.
POLITICS AND PASSION (KABALE UND LIEBE) — a Tragedy of Domestic Life. Obsession! Dishonor! Alienation! Lovers die for love! But unlike Romeo & Juliet, the lovers die for impure love — a love that has been tainted by a corrupt, scheming and unscrupulous world that has lost touch with what matters. You can just smell the Stürm und Drang!
This reading is part of the 2011 Gallatin seminar Romantics and Revolutionaries: Theater and Theatricality in the Age of Revolution. Come listen or TAKE PART! RSVP if you want a role!

In the wake of the contentious war of words regarding the proposed Islamic Center in downtown Manhattan and the growing tensions surrounding it — in conjunction with the Gallatin interdisciplinary seminar THEATER IN THE AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT — the Gallatin Theatre Committee presents a concert staging of Voltaire's controversial 1742 play MAHOMET. Edited and directed by Christopher Cartmill, the play has been interwoven with Voltaire's own correspondence regarding the work and accounts of the 2005 French production.
The play has a history of widespread protest beginning with its Paris debut in 1742. The Turkish ambassador lodged a formal condemnation of Voltaire with the Louis XV. But European religious leaders also insisted the play be banned, because they knew Voltaire really intended it as attack on Christian fanaticism, and any religion or political system that seeks power through manipulation and lies.

Playwright Christopher Cartmill explores these questions in an exciting and moving new play written specifically for the Lied Center for Performing Arts and for ALL those who have longed for home. A female Native doctor fulfilling a promise and building a practice, a Spanish conquistador who has lost his way a vast ancient prairie, a young man seeking shelter safety and a new life free of persecution, a young man and woman transformed by violent encounter, an guilty army officer intent on peace and justice, a French trapper embracing freedom, a suburban housewife trying to put the finishing touches on new house and a Native Chief standing for his right to go home: all these and more share the stage and discover that we perhaps have things common that transcend even time.

Performances of Christopher Cartmill's THE SPECTRE BRIDEGROOM — April 2nd to 4th.
Christopher will host an invited reading of Alfred de Vigny's 1834 play CHATTERTON — one of the great all-but-forgotten works of the 19th century theater.
De Vigny's telling of the tale of the poet Thomas Chatterton — art, commerce, passion, despair, sacrifice, opium and the sleepless soul!
A huge success when it premiered, the play created a critical debate similar to that of Corneille's LE CID 200 years earlier. Melodrama reaching to level of Tragedy! How dare de Vigny do such a thing?
"It is the story of a man who has written a letter in the morning and who waits for the answer in the evening; the answer comes, and it kills him!"
Performances of Cartmill's THE SPECTRE BRIDEGROOM — February 25th to 27th.
