other title: 亚瑟王庭 director: Moss Hart / Frank Dunlop actor: Julie Andrews / Robert Goulet / Roddy McDowall / John Cullum / Richard Burton
第一幕

("Overture")

正當阿瑟王的宮庭裡正籌備著他與皇后古蘭菲爾的婚禮之時,阿瑟王心情忐忑不安。("I Wonder What the King is Doing Tonight")同樣地不知所措的便是古蘭菲爾,("The Simple Joys of Maidenhood")二人偷偷逃了出來小休,卻不知情地遇上了對方。阿瑟王介紹著王庭的輝煌和榮譽,("Camelot")而當二人知道對方是誰之時便發覺被互相吸引,婚禮也就順利進行了。雖然阿瑟王的老師魔法師梅林被湖中女神妮梅伊帶走,("Follow Me")但在他管治之下可以說是繁榮安定,其中更吸引了一大堆勇敢之士來加入圓桌武士之行列,當中便包括了蘭斯諾。("C'est Moi")

在一次五月舉行的慶典中,("The Lusty Month of May")古蘭菲爾被帶去認識一眾武士,並很快便對蘭斯諾產反感。她慫恿武士們跟蘭斯諾決鬥,("Then You May Take Me to the Fair")阿瑟王企圖勸阻妻子不果,這使他大為頭痛。("How to Handle a Woman")但蘭斯諾的英勇迅即擄獲了古蘭菲爾的心,而他亦對之有意思。為了不背叛阿瑟王,他自告奮勇暫離王庭。("Parade")古蘭菲爾自然捨不得,但亦只能目送其遠去("Before I Gaze at You Again")。

第二幕

蘭斯諾兩年後歸來,並發現對古蘭菲爾未能忘情。("If Ever I Would Leave You")然而阿瑟王對二人之事卻仍是懵然不知,畢竟其私生子巫烈特對其王國野心勃勃,實在不可不防。("Seven Deadly Virtues")古蘭菲爾雖然心有所思,卻依然沒有背叛阿瑟王,並幫他管治王國。("What Do the Simple Folk Do?")另外圓桌武士亦漸因和平而手癢癢的,("Fie On Goodness!")巫烈特趁阿瑟王被困在魔法森林裡的時候撞破古蘭菲爾和蘭斯諾的私會("I Loved You Once in Silence")並觸發政變。蘭斯諾在古蘭菲爾被殺之前("Guenevere")把她救了出來,二人逃至法國。

阿瑟王被逼向法國開戰,雙方傷亡慘重,在最後一戰之前他約見蘭斯諾和古蘭菲爾,後者已然成了修女。阿瑟王在此時原諒了二人,並回到自己的營帳之中。有一個年輕的小伙子向阿瑟王說想加入軍隊,阿瑟王即場把他欽點為武士之後便著他回英國,並要他把這一代圓桌武士,以及阿瑟王庭的精神繼續一代接一代地流傳下去。("Camelot - Reprise")

第一幕

("Overture")

洛斯托警官和小莎莉迎接大家來到尿鎮(音樂劇),因為尿鎮本身在第二幕才出現。("Too Much Exposition")因為食水短缺,政府外判廁斯服務予"好尿公司",所有人去廁斯都得付費,而且在其他地方去廁所是犯法的,擒獲者會被捉去尿鎮 - 一個從來沒有人回過來的神祕地方。("Urinetown")公廁主管賓妮和副主管波比每天都得面對一堆貧民,今天波比之父不夠錢,賓妮卻不管波比苦求不讓他進去,波比之父賭氣當眾小便,被警察捉走。("It's a Privilege to Pee")

"好尿公司"的總裁卡特維是個壞胚子,跟政治家費普狼狽為奸,此時卡特維之女哈普回來,眾人向她交口稱讚卡特維。("Mr. Cladwell")洛斯托和朋友巴奴討論工作,更說起尿鎮是何許地方("Cop Song")。卡特維加高門價,這次連波比之母也有財政困難了,波比甚為迷惘,哈普要他隨心而做,("Follow Your Heart")波比毅然打開公廁,讓所有人進去,結果鬧成大災難。("Look at the Sky")卡特維要整整這幫窮鬼,("Don't be the Bunny")而波比發現哈普是卡特維之女,雖然喜歡她也把她綁架以作要脅卡特維的籌碼。("Act One Finale")

第二幕

小孩們討論著尿鎮,小莎莉卻認為尿鎮其實就是他們住的地方。("What is Urinetown?")眾貧民對哈普甚為仇視,都想虐待一下她,("Snuff That Girl")還好波比及時替其解圍。("Run, Freedom, Run!")卡特維借談判捉走波比,眾人見其對女兒如此狠毒,心中一寒。("Why Did I Listen to That Man?")波比被捉走,他這才明白根本沒有尿鎮 - 只有死亡。小莎莉帶回波比最後的訊息,眾人悲歎。("Tell Her I Love Her")此時賓妮向大家宣佈她是哈普之母,並帶領眾人打倒"好尿公司",公司裡的人都被殺了。("We're Not Sorry")卡特維和賓妮最後見面,執迷不悟。("We're Not Sorry - Reprise")

終於哈普承繼了"好尿公司"並改名為"波比紀念廁所會",讓所有人隨時隨地去廁所。("I See a River")然而,水源還是急速乾涸,終於所有人還是死於缺水。小莎莉向洛斯托投訴這個結局很爛,洛斯托說這的確不是喜劇,小莎莉卻說,至少音樂還是歡樂的。
圣女贞德 1956年版 [Performance] Douban
part of Performance: 圣女贞德
theater: Phoenix Theatre director: Albert Marre
other title: 1956年版 playwright: George Bernard Shaw actor: Siobhán McKenna / Ray Barbata
Shaw characterised Saint Joan as "A Chronicle Play in 6 Scenes and an Epilogue". Joan, a simple peasant girl, hears voices which she claims to be those of Saint Margaret, Saint Catherine, and the archangel Michael, sent by God to guide her conduct.
Scene 1 begins with Robert de Baudricourt complaining about the inability of the hens on his farm to produce eggs. Joan claims that her voices are telling her to raise a siege against Orléans, and to allow her several of his men for this purpose. Joan also says that she will eventually crown the Dauphin in Rheims cathedral. de Baudricourt ridicules Joan, but his servant feels inspired by her words. de Baudricourt eventually begins to feel the same sense of inspiration, and gives his consent to Joan. The servant enters at the end of the scene to exclaim that the hens have begun to lay eggs again. de Baudricourt interprets this as a sign from God of Joan's divine inspiration.
In Scene 2 (8 March 1429), Joan talks her way into being received at the court of the weak and vain Dauphin. There, she tells him that her voices have commanded her to help him become a true king by rallying his troops to drive out the English occupiers and restore France to greatness. Joan succeeds in doing this through her excellent powers of flattery, negotiation, leadership, and skill on the battlefield.
In Scene 3 (29 April 1429), Dunois and his page are waiting for the wind to turn so that he and his forces can lay siege to Orléans. Joan and Dunois commiserate, and Dunois attempts to explain to her more pragmatic realities of an attack, without the wind at their back. Her replies eventually inspire Dunois to rally the forces, and at the scene's end, the wind turns in their favour.
Ultimately she is betrayed, and captured by the English at the siege of Compiègne. Scene 6 (30 May 1431) deals with her trial. John de Stogumber is adamant that she be executed at once. The Inquisitor, the Bishop of Beauvais, and the Church officials on both sides of the trial have a long discussion on the nature of her heresy. Joan is brought to the court, and continues to assert that her voices speak to her directly from God and that she has no need of the Church's officials. This outrages de Stogumber. She acquiesces to the pressure of torture at the hands of her oppressors, and agrees to sign a confession relinquishing the truth behind her voices, so that she can live a life in permanent confinement without hope of parole. Upon hearing this, Joan changes her mind:
Joan: "You think that life is nothing but not being dead? It is not the bread and water I fear. I can live on bread. It is no hardship to drink water if the water be clean. But to shut me from the light of the sky and the sight of the fields and flowers; to chain my feet so that I can never again climb the hills. To make me breathe foul damp darkness, without these things I cannot live. And by your wanting to take them away from me, or from any human creature, I know that your council is of the devil."
Joan accepts the ultimate punishment of death at the stake as preferable to such an imprisoned existence. de Stogumber vehemently demands that Joan then be taken to the stake for immediate execution. The Inquisitor and the Bishop of Beauvais excommunicate her and deliver her into the hands of the English. The Inquisitor asserts that Joan was fundamentally innocent, in the sense that she was sincere and had no understanding of the church and the law. de Stogumber re-enters, screaming and severely shaken emotionally after seeing Joan die in the flames, the first time that he has witnessed such a death, and realising that he has not understood what it means to burn a person at the stake until he has actually seen it happen. A soldier had given Joan two sticks tied together in a cross before the moment of her death. Bishop Martin Ladvenu also reports that when he approached with a cross to let her see the cross before she died, and he approached too close to the flames, she had warned him of the danger from the stake, which convinced him that she could not have been under the inspiration of the devil.
In the Epilogue, 25 years after Joan's execution, a new trial has cleared her of heresy. Brother Martin brings the news to the now-King Charles. Charles then has a dream in which Joan appears to him. She begins conversing cheerfully not only with Charles, but with her old enemies, who also materialise in the King's bedroom. An emissary from the present day (at the time of the play, the 1920s) brings news that the Catholic Church is to canonise her, in the year 1920. Joan says that saints can work miracles, and asks if she can be resurrected. At this, all the characters desert her one by one, asserting that the world is not prepared to receive a saint such as her. The last to leave is the English soldier, who is about to engage in a conversation with Joan before he is summoned back to hell at the end of his 24-hour respite. The play ends with Joan ultimately despairing that mankind will never accept its saints:
O God that madest this beautiful earth, when will it be ready to accept thy saints? How long, O Lord, how long?
