From the Writer & Director
The true story from Romania at the heart of Father Nandru & The Wolves originally came to me from my friend Jeffrey Mayhew as the subject for a play he might take to the Edinburgh Fringe. At the time I couldn’t think of an appropriate form for this iconic fable – so the project was put on ice, though it continued to haunt me as I toured rural Finland with CulturaMobila, the community arts organisation I co-founded with Hanne Horte in 2004. Our mission is to create arts events with people living in small communities and the most popular strand of our work has proved to be large scale, site specific mummer’s plays-cum-winter carnivals, frequently involving an entire village. As inexperienced performers seem happier belting out rhyming verse than fumbling with realistic dialogue, we developed a house style based on traditional folk drama, a heady blend of rough theatre, sympathetic magic and the irreconcilable conflicts between light and darkness, good and evil, life and death. Once I explain British mumming techniques as proto-rap, our actors take to it with gusto, adapting it to their own languages and local references, and a fine celebratory time is had by all. In 2012, on-going research into mumming traditions around the world brought me to those of Transylvania, including the fiercely elemental figure of the Capra, or goat, the death and resurrection of which still heralds the coming of spring in the depths of the Romanian winter. Suddenly the story of Father Nandru felt like a continuation of the work I’d been doing for eight years and I was ready to write it... as a mummers play for the 21st century.
Many thanks to Frances Mayhew at Wilton’s for her immediate enthusiasm for the project; to the Swedish Culture Fund in Finland whose travel bursary took Hanne and I on a life-changing trip to Romania; to our splendid guides there, Duncan Ridgley, Maria Borca, Gerhild Gross, and everyone at Tzigania Tours, who took us way off the beaten track and opened our eyes to startling new/old worlds in Breb, Viscri and the Roma communities around Targu Mures. This one’s for you!
