8.9 (9 ratings) genre: theater playwright: William Shakespeare
other title: 无事生非 / Много шума из ничего director: Marianne Elliott / Nicholas Hytner actor: Tamsin Greig / Zoë Wanamaker / Simon Russell Beale / Eve Best / Charles Edwards



作为莎士比亚四大喜剧之一,《无事生非》写作于1598-1599年,是莎士比亚喜剧写作最成熟的时期。剧中数条线索巧妙穿插,最吸引人的是培尼狄克和贝特丽丝的恋情。他们起初誓抱独身,相互讽嘲,各不相让,最后彼此倾倒,完满结合。相比莎士比亚其它喜剧,《无事生非》场景及语言更接近真实生活,彷佛是一般人也会发生的故事。剧情热闹欢乐,富有哲思,人物性格鲜明,妙语连珠。剧中人物探寻的则是两性关系中的自我意识以及真诚与尊重。

《暴风雨》是莎士比亚的最后一部作品。
  米兰公爵普洛斯彼罗被弟弟篡权,和女儿米兰达一起被放逐海上,流落荒岛。普洛斯彼罗依靠书中学得的强大魔法,解救了岛上受苦的精灵,并借助精灵的力量呼风唤雨,引仇人前来,令他们悔悟认错。最后兄弟和解,普洛斯彼罗恢复爵位,米兰达与王子一同回到意大利。
  童话故事就这样结束了吗?
  当然不。这可是莎士比亚的最后一部作品。
  关于莎士比亚,我们了解多少?
  剧作家的内心,总是要比他呈现出来的角色更加复杂。如果要写一个剧本做一出戏,在想象中进入这个大文豪的思想宫殿,那么这辉煌才气背后的黑暗地窖,大概会是什么呢?酗酒,嗑药,滥交?不,这些都太普通了。《一个人的莎士比亚》的导演编剧及演员约瑟夫•格雷夫斯,这个对莎士比亚痴迷的戏剧人,想象了一个有趣又浪漫的症结。作为继乔叟后英国最伟大的文学家,莎士比亚一生都在致力于构建组装出最动听的文字,一种能在讲述中,在表演里绽放的语言。作为语言的上帝,他的一生,理应是得意的。可是在他小试牛刀获得一些成功以后,却被迫面对了无法承受的恐惧。那么,莎翁是在谁的帮助下,开启了创作的全盛时期?在他艺术生涯的最后一部作品中,他又将对这一切,做出怎样的了结,写下怎样的嘱托?
  导演兼改编约瑟夫•格雷夫斯,将《莎翁绝唱:暴风雨》中,给出他的答案。
  如果说《暴风雨》是莎士比亚留下的“诗的遗嘱”,那么主人公普洛斯彼罗一定是作家自我的表达。因为他们有一个显而易见而且十分可爱的共同点:话唠。

theater: Royal National Theatre director: Joseph Stalin actor: Alex Jennings / Simon Russell Beale
The story takes place in Moscow in the years 1938 to 1940 and the drama centers around the apartment of Mikhail Bulgakov and his wife Yelena.
Bulgakov has just finished his play The Life of Monsieur de Molière which his friends acclaim a masterpiece. The night after the premiere, he is visited by two secret policemen from the NKVD. They tell him the play is banned and will never be shown again unless he cooperates with them in writing a "hack" play on the life of the young Joseph Stalin. At first Bulgakov resists their bullying and refuses to cooperate even though this could endanger his life. Their terrorizing of Bulgakov intensifies until he pretends to start work, but sits at the typewriter unable to put words to paper. Then one night he receives a phone call and a mystery voice offers him help if he goes to a certain metro station and enters a door hidden in the tunnel. Bulgakov follows the instructions and finds himself alone in a room beneath the Kremlin with Joseph Stalin himself. Stalin says he has always admired Bulgakov's work and offers his assistance in the play. Stalin sits at the typewriter and produces scenes which delight the NKVD with their depiction of Stalin as an heroic and glorious leader fighting Czarist oppression. While Stalin types Bulgakov relieves Stalin of the burden of some of his state papers. Inadvertantly Bulgakov becomes involved in issuing the orders which bring about the Great Purge of Stalinist Russia. The play is finished but the monster of the purges consumes his friends lives one by one. The strain on Bulgakov leads to an intensification of his inherited disease , nephrosclerosis, and his eventual death.

The Tragedy of King Richard II
genre: theater playwright: William Shakespeare
director: Joe Hill-Gibbins actor: Simon Russell Beale / Leo Bill / Martins Imhangbe / Natalie Klamar / John Mackay



King. The male ruler of an independent state; one who inherits the position by right of birth.

King of the castle. A children’s game in which each child attempts to stand alone on a mound, or sandcastle, by pushing other children off it.

Olivier Award-winner Simon Russell Beale takes the title role in Shakespeare’s play about the limits of power.

King Richard II is arrogant, reckless and vain. His weak leadership sends his kingdom into disarray and his court into uproar. Disinherited and exiled from the kingdom, the ambitious Bolingbroke challenges the throne and the king’s divine right to rule.

director: Nicholas Hytner
other title: 2010年版 playwright: Dion Boucicault actor: Fiona Shaw / Simon Russell Beale
Act 1
Charles and Dazzle arrive back at Sir Harcourt's London home after a night on the town, and manage to avoid Sir Harcourt with Cool's help—Sir Harcourt still believes Charles is a clean-living innocent. Max arrives to make the final arrangements for Sir Harcourt's marriage to Max's niece Grace—by arrangement, Sir Harcourt has financially helped Max in return for making Grace's inheritance contingent on her marrying Sir Harcourt (if she does not, it will pass to Charles). Sir Harcourt leaves and Dazzle bumps into Max, gaining himself an invitation to Oak Hall, Max's country house—a trip on which Charles will accompany him.
[edit]Act 2
At Oak Hall, Grace explains to her maid Pert her acceptance of marriage to the aged Sir Harcourt and her view of love as an "epidemic madness". Charles and Dazzle arrive, and the former (not knowing of his father's marriage plans) immediately starts courting Grace. When his father arrives, Charles pretends, in the face of all evidence, that he is a man called Augustus Hamilton who merely bears a remarkable likeness to Charles and convinces his father for a time.
[edit]Act 3
Lady Gay Spanker and her husband "Dolly" arrive, and Sir Harcourt immediately falls in love with the former. Grace begins to fall in love with Charles/Augustus in spite of herself. When Lady Gay interrupts their courtship, Charles easily persuades the lady to distract Sir Harcourt from marriage to Grace by apparently accepting his affections.
[edit]Act 4
Charles leaves as 'Augustus', returning as Charles to tell Grace that 'Augustus' has been killed, to see if she really loves him, whilst Lady Gay and Sir Harcourt plan to elope together.
[edit]Act 5
The elopement is frustrated by Max, Dolly and the local lawyer Meddle. Dolly challenges Sir Harcourt to a duel. Sir Harcourt realises he has been duped and resolves to release Grace from their marriage contract.
[edit]Act 6
Max prevents the duel and Grace insists on going through with the marriage to Sir Harcourt, as a ruse to force Charles's hand. Charles's creditors catch up with him. Dolly forgives Gay and Sir Harcourt finds out his son's true nature as well as acceding to Charles's marriage to Grace.
