Now More Than Ever: On Mary Kathryn Nagle’s Manahatta – Yale Daily News

Posted: February 21, 2020 at 8:46 pm

Its an omnipresent trope to ascribe activist intent with varying legitimacy to theater. In a world wrought with political tumult, this approach is a popular way to endow a show with broader resonance. But its hard not to be skeptical of this lofty goal: much art for social change fails to deliver on its promise.

Enter Manahatta.

This new play by Mary Kathryn Nagle achieves its political ambitions through double casting, which reframes key narratives of Native American experience by grounding universal issues in intimate relationships, maintaining a multi-issue agenda and redefining home as a history, not a place.

Manahatta includes two separate timelines: first is the story of Jane Snake a young woman who just might be the first Native American on Wall Street and her family in Oklahoma. Then, there is the story of Janes ancestors on the island of Manahatta, the Lenape people, facing the violence of the Dutch East India Company. Switching between these periods, Manahatta tells a tale of destruction: in the modern era, the Snake family weathers the 2008 financial crisis; in the 1600s, the Lenape people struggle to save themselves from manipulation and massacre by the Dutch colonizers.

As the story progresses, Nagle weaves in many different aspects of Native American life. Characters address the perils of preserving the Lenape language, Christian missionaries role in Native American assimilation, white male predation on Native women, the tokenizing experience of breaking the glass ceiling, and cultural genocide inflicted on Native children. Nagle also touches on slavery, alcohol, border walls a la MAGA, being gay in a church, healthcare costs and Adjustable Rate Mortgages, among other things.

Its a lot to cover. But the plays audacity pays off: Nagle doesnt shy away from addressing so many vital issues, and by doing so, she paints an intricate portrait of the narratives that underpin Native American life. What allows these themes to jell are the historical echoes Nagle incorporates via double casting: each modern character has a counterpart in the past timeline. Jane Snake, the protagonist who ascends to power in Manhattan, is played by the same actress as Le-le-wa-you, a Lenape woman who trades fur with the colonists in Manahatta. Joe, the Lehman Brothers executive who bumbles through mea culpa allyship, is paralleled by Jakob, a Dutch settler who, despite sympathizing with Le-le-wa-you, barely hesitates to murder her loved ones.

The story oscillates fluidly between these chronologies: dialogue repeats and overlaps, actors change costumes onstage, scenes bleed into each other seamlessly. The two worlds coexist and intertwine with one stage, one set, one cast.

The purpose of this parallelism must be contextualized with the playwrights background: Nagle is a partner at Pipestem Law, where she advocates for tribal sovereignty; her belief in the power of theater is clearly informed by her legal ethos. In an interview with Shondaland, she described her understanding of legal activism as an issue of story: since the laws that harm Native American people are based on false narratives, the way to really counteract them is to change the narrative through storytelling. As important as precedent, Nagle claims, are the stories we choose to believe about the laws that govern us.

So Nagle confronts these narratives. In Manahatta, dual-casting parallelism which is not optional, according to the playwright challenges the historical amnesia that cleaves the past from the present. By overlapping the set, characters, costumes and scenes of Manahatta, Nagle forces us to understand that the problems of Native oppression are perennial, rooted in Colonialism and enduring through the present era. Nothing in Manahatta is isolated, and no action is decontextualized from its precedent.

This structure allows the power dynamics in Manahatta to recycle through disparate contexts: in the 1600s, the Dutch guile the Lenape into selling their ancestral lands on the grounds that natives will never understand the concept of ownership; in the 2000s, a bank offers Bobbie (the matriarch of the Snake family) a shoddy mortgage that costs her the house the Snake family has inhabited for generations the banker, confident that Bobbie will never grasp the economics of home ownership, neglects to explain the dangers of the deal. Themes of control, manipulation, and greed permeate every interaction between the mighty and the disempowered, telling a compelling story about a Native American experience that might vary in specifics, but persists in its most devastating effects.

When Bobbie loses her home to foreclosure, Nagle reminds us of the brutal ways Lenape people have been evicted throughout history. This culminates in perhaps the most potent moment of the play, when Jane offers to pay off her mothers debts, and Bobbie refuses the money how could she accept cash made from all those other idiots who got loans they cant repay?

This is a specific story about Bobbie, Jane, and predatory lending. But its resonance broadens when it is posed next to a scene between Le-le-wa-you and her mother, in which Le-le-wa-you gushes about trading with the Dutch for more wampum, and her mother replies, We trade with, not for, wampum. Modern Jane enters antihero territory, becoming a workaholic Wall Street shark, echoing the greed of the Dutch East India Company and straining for more. Here, Nagles point is clear perhaps our protagonist has succeeded, but shes done so by selling out, by extorting the innocent, by forgetting her culture and the people she loves. This is what Manahatta does best: it contextualizes complex power structures in intimate relationships.

As these themes develop, Nagle stays true to her story-for-social-change aim. She resists the urge to shoehorn her activism into a single, pithy mission statement. If some of the topics of Manahatta lack full exploration, it is only because the playwright sees so many Native American histories that need rewriting. To paraphrase Audre Lorde, Manahatta is not a single-issue play because its characters dont live single-issue lives. Sure, narrowing the shows thematic scope would allow for deeper examination of its subjects. But it would do so at the expense of historical justice.

Nagle portrays a myriad of experiences that reflect a wide range of truths: that the past matters, that trauma repeats itself, that stories especially the ones that tell us nothing ever like this has ever happened before, the ones that justify deeply-rooted evils matter. Manahatta takes on a world of false narratives, and, like its protagonist, it isnt afraid to be ambitious.

Yet Nagle never loses her laser-sharp devotion to her characters. We are grounded in the Snake family, in the 1600s Lenape tribe. While addressing large-scale Native American causes, Nagle always remembers the people for whom she is advocating.

Perhaps it is this duality the coupling of the intimate and the grand, the distant and the visceral, the bold goals and the delicate approach that makes Manahatta such a powerful work of activist theater.

As Jane becomes caught up in the flurry of capitalist hedonism, the journey of Le-le-wa-you dramatizes the world she is leaving behind. This culminates in the denouement, when Bobbie gifts Jane a sacred family wampum, a prescription that Jane remember who she is. At the heart of Manahatta is homecoming home to ones roots, to ones values, to ones past.

We end on Wall Street in 2008, this time with Jane wearing the sacred wampum Le-le-wa-you might have carried as she fled her Dutch-occupied homeland. All the loose ends of the narrative come together with a resounding message of return: Machi! Machi Manahatta!

Go home! Go home to Manahatta!

How to drink a 1,280 sherry? Sparingly – there are only 30 bottles available worldwide – Telegraph.co.uk

Posted: at 8:46 pm

Taking a sip of a 1,280 sherry is an unusual experience even in rarefied wine circles. The usual line on sherry is that its one of the wine worlds cheapest luxuries. And it is: I dont think theres any other wine in the world that delivers such a great experience for such a small outlay. But good value wines are not all that sherry has to offer. Hidden away in the dark, cool cellars around the town of Jerez in southern Spain there are some very serious treasures, some of which have been lying there, quietly maturing for decades or more.

One of them is Barbadillo Reliquia Amontillado, which I tasted this week. This wine is one of four Barbadillo Reliquias - the name is derived from the Spanish word for relic, or heirloom a series of incredibly old and very rare sherries. Their origins date back to the nineteenth century and they are produced and carefully husbanded by Bodegas Barbadillo who release them in minute quantities so as not to deplete their ancient stock.

I asked Tim Holt of Bodegas Barbadillo how many casks of the Reliquia Amontillado there are. His eyes moved upwards and to the left. I realized he was visualising the bodega so he could count them. Fiveyes, five. Thats five barrels in the whole solera: the system of fractional ageing in which sherry to be bottled is drawn out of the last barrel, which is filled up with liquid from the one before, which in turn is filled up from the one beforeand so on.

We can only take about 30 bottles out of it each year, Holt went on. Thats 30 to sell around the world allocations go to Hong Kong and Singapore as well as London. Any more and we wouldnt be able to maintain the age and the quality. The solera is fed by our 30 Year Old VORS Amontillado, which is actually about 50 years old, so the wine comes into the system with half a century on it already.

The main experience of tasting a sherry like this is one of intensity. Yes, theres a complex mosaic of roasted nut flavours if you want to go down that sort of tasting note route. But the most striking thing is the force and vibrancy of the wine in your mouth. And the fact that after you swallow or spit, in my case - it just goes on and on you can take the whole thing with you in the cab or on the tube, in my case home. Avid sherry fans love the Reliquia wines. I gather there is one bottle in Hedonism - 1,280. Either snap it up or wait for the next bottling.

Americares to expand Bahamas health care programs

STAMFORD Disaster-relief nonprofit Americares announced plans this week to expand its services during the next four months in the Bahamas, which was devastated last year by the Category 5 Hurricane Dorian.

Medical teams from Americares will provide free primary care and mental health services, seven days a week, on the Abaco Islands to support more hurricane survivors. The Stamford-based agency said it is working with the Bahamas Ministry of Health to implement its Commitment to Action for 3,500 patient consultations through June.

Nearly six months after Hurricane Dorian devastated the Bahamas, thousands are still recovering and need ongoing support, Americares Vice President of Emergency Programs Kate Dischino said in a statement. We are committed to meeting the physical and mental health needs of survivors as they begin returning to their communities in Abaco.

Since Dorian struck Abaco, Americares said it has provided more than 4,200 medical and 2,500 psychosocial support consultations and delivered more than $2.6 million worth of medicine, medical supplies and relief items for families affected by the disaster.

Dorian ranked as the strongest storm of the 2019 hurricane season and the second-most-powerful Atlantic hurricane on record when it made landfall as a Category 5 storm in Abaco on Sept. 1.

The storm made a second landfall in Grand Bahama, where it hit the island with powerful winds and heavy rain for more than 40 hours.

An estimated 13,000 homes were severely damaged or destroyed and 70,000 people were displaced after the storm, according to Americares.

Among other initiatives around the world, Americares has deployed 11 mental-health specialists to treat survivors of the earthquakes that last month hit Puerto Rico.

Next month, Chief Development Officer Christine Squires will take over as the organizations new CEO and president.

Bahamas Estate Once Home to the Duke of Windsor and Wallis Simpson Hits the Market – Mansion Global

Posted: at 8:45 pm

A country estate in Nassau, on the Bahamian island of New Providence, once owned by the Duke of Windsor and Wallis Simpson, hit the market last month for US$8.5 million.

In 1939, the Duke of Windsor relocated to the island with his American socialite wife, Wallis Simpson, for whom he had given up the British throne for three years previously, to start his new role as the governor of the Bahamas the following year, according to listing agent Mark Hussey of Damianos Sotheby's International Realty, the estate agency marketing the home.

On arrival, they spent three months at Sigrist House while Government House, the official residence of Governor of the Bahamas, was renovated, according to Mr. Hussey.

Damianos Sothebys International Realty says the property is managed by historians from Canada but it did not disclose the name of the owner. Mansion Global could not identify the owners.

Positioned on a ridge outside Nassau, overlooking Cable Beach, Goodmans Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, Sigrist House, which is set on four acres of private grounds and gardens, is one of the finest estates in the Bahamas, said Mr. Hussey, who added that many dignitaries have stayed in the property over the years.

In addition, the property, which was built in the 1930s by British aviation pioneer and movie producer Frederick Sigrist, has James Bond connections. Frederick Sigrist was married to PrincessFredericka BoGuirey, who later married Kevin McClory, known for adapting the literary character of James Bond for cinema and for producing Thunderball in 1965. The West Indies estate has also featured as the backdrop of a number of the Bond films, according to Mr. Hussey.

The Spanish colonial style 15,000-square-foot main residence has original 1930s interiors with open fireplaces and full wood-paneled rooms, giving it a distinctly British feel. Four of its fireplaces were imported from British country homes, and the Honduras white mahogany wall paneling in the great room and office was taken to England for milling and then reassembled in Nassau, according to the propertys sales brochure.

Rooms have 12-foot ceilings and flow out onto terraces and a loggia with arched openings, allowing for indoor-outdoor living. In the grounds, there are lush flowering tropical gardens with fruit and coconut trees, a pool and hot tub, all with views over the manicured grounds and the Atlantic Ocean beyond.

The property, which comprises a main residence with four bedrooms, two four-bedroom guest houses, a three-bedroom apartment and four acres of private grounds recently went through an extensive restoration. The electrical and plumbing systems have been modernized and brought up to todays standards, the roofs have been replaced, and the historical wood and ironwork has been restored, according to the propertys sales brochure.

The estate sits on the north side of New Providence, just outside Nassau, the capital city of the Bahamas. Beaches, shopping and other amenities at the Baha Mar Resort and Casino are within short walking distance.

Former Bahamas Home Of The Duke Of Windsor And Wallis Simpson Goes On The Market – Forbes

Posted: at 8:45 pm

Sigrist House occupies a sprawling four-care ridge overlooking lagoons, golf links and the distant ... [+] ocean.

After King Edward VIII abdicated the British throne to live with the woman he loved, he was made Governor of the Bahamas, a job that conveniently took him away from England. In 1940, while the Governors Mansion was being redecorated to Wallis Simpsons liking, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor lived at Sigrist House.

Built in 1939 by British aviation pioneer Sir Frederick Sigrist, the main 15,000 square foot residence occupies four acres on the crest of Prospect Ridge in Cable Beach, Nassau. The estate consists of a four- bedroom-suite main residence, two four-bedroom guesthouses and a three-bedroom apartment, making for a total of 15 bedrooms. There are 13 baths and two half baths.

Now Sigrist House is for sale, offered for $8.5 million by Mark Hussey of Damianos Sotheby's International Realty.

A wide loggia features limestone flooring, wrought iron and massive ceiling beams.

The estate has expansive patios, a high-ceilinged loggia and, in one of the dining rooms, large windows that drop down into the floor to make for easy flow between the inside and the grounds. Stone and mahogany flooring, curved walls, extensive use of tile, rare white mahogany paneling and lovely wrought iron work are just some of the architectural elements.The four fireplaces were found in English country houses, dismantled and brought here, where they were painstakingly built into the rooms.

The four fireplaces in the house originally came out of English country manors

The house was designed by the American and English architectural team Schoepell and Voivesky, while the interiors were largely furnished by the notable British firm of Mallett Antiques on New Bond Street, London. The house is Spanish Colonial in architecture, but the interiors were decidedly English. The Georgian style paneling of the drawing room is of rare white mahogany, built in London to specification, as was the beautiful hand-carved pine paneling in the library.

The gardens at Sigrist House were considered among the finest in the West Indies and include fruit and coconut trees, a swimming pool and Jacuzzi, all with views over the mature manicured grounds, saltwater canals and distant Atlantic Ocean.

Until the current owners bought Sigrist House 20 years ago, it remained in the original family. Over the past decade the houses all have undergone extensive restorations. All electrical and plumbing systems have been modernized and brought up to today's standards. The roofs have been replaced and the historical wood and ironwork has been lovingly restored. The gourmet kitchen, with custom cabinetry, has been upgraded to create a thoroughly modern and functional workspace.

Grant Williams vacationed with Carsen Edwards, others in the Bahamas – The Rookie Wire

Posted: at 8:45 pm

With the NBA at the All-Star break, several players around the league began their time off from basketball by taking a much-needed rest with friends and family on vacation.

Several players on the Boston Celtics got together for a trip to the Bahamas.

Celtics center Vincent Poirier posted a photo on Twitter Sunday night of the trip as rookie teammates Grant Williams and Carsen Edwards were among those that went.

Of course, the trio of players was not involved in the festivities of All-Star Weekend so they got a head start on their week off by having some fun in paradise.

Williams has emerged as a key player for the Celtics this season. Though he is only averaging 3.8 points and 2.7 rebounds per game, Williams often does the dirty work on the court and has given head coach Brad Stevens a solid defensive option against opposing big men.

As the trio of Celtics players return to their team this week, the group will be looking to secure its place among the top three in the Eastern Conference as they currently sit third with a 38-16 record.
