other title: 皇家莎士比亚剧团:驯悍记 / The Taming of the Shrew
每一部经典的两性文本都值得一次性转版的书写,更何况是《驯悍记》这样“三观可疑”的代表!在皇家莎士比亚剧团2019年全新制作的这一版中,1590年的英格兰变成了由女性掌控的世界,米诺拉正准备将她的儿子凯瑟琳卖给出价最高的人,彼特鲁乔带着婚约出现了。一场关乎性别与权力的斗争即将展开,这次还会是对女性的冒犯吗?
此版导演贾斯汀·奥迪伯特(Justin Audibert)颠覆了莎士比亚这部荒诞又活泼的喜剧,他将原作中的男性角色转变为女性并由女演员饰演,而女性角色则由男演员出演,这种彻底的性别转换实践具有丰富的娱乐性,巧妙挑衅了原著中对女性的物化,凸显了等级制度和两性权力的不公正;另外剧中突破性地选用了27名残疾人员参演,开启了他们与其他社会群体的合作。
在当代语境下实现这种性别转换也许更自然,但把它设定在莎士比亚的时代感觉更大胆。依然是伊丽莎白时期的英格兰,依然是《驯悍记》,当性与权力的平衡发生了戏剧性的惊人转变,必定会给予今天的观众更多思考。
