Les liaisons dangereuses is a play by Christopher Hampton adapted from the 1782 novel of the same title by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. The plot focuses on the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont, rivals who use sex as a weapon of humiliation and degradation, all the while enjoying their cruel games. Their targets are the virtuous (and married) Madame de Tourvel and Cécile de Volanges, a young girl who has fallen in love with her music tutor, the Chevalier Danceny. In order to gain their trust, Merteuil and Valmont pretend to help the secret lovers so they can use them later in their own treacherous schemes.

奋力生活的年轻牙买加人,试图跨过大洋追求decent life却屡屡被梦想国度羞辱伤害,在如今BLM运动背景下看积怨已久的种族矛盾尤其应景。很难说作为一个接触不到种族问题的国家的国民能产生多少共情,但还是有很多桥段非常动人。Hortense刚来英国时即使是最善意最无害的Queenie也免不了优越十足居高临下地向她解释怎么洗干净东西,下意识认为她来自一个所有东西都免不了脏乱的家乡。而同样是参了军的两个年轻男人,仅仅因为国别与民族的差异,就可以受到如此不同的待遇、产生如此迥异的心态(—"我们希望能再过上体面的生活,我去打仗就是为了这个,我希望你们本周末之前搬走。”—"我也去打仗了,跟你打的是同一场仗,现在我也只想过上体面的日子!”),一个平等诉求都难以满足的环境,无法让任何人正常地生活。

上世纪八十年代中,美国处于列根的保守政权之下,正经历爱滋病危机。《天使在美国》正讲述在这种社会背景下,一群纽约客徘徊生与死、爱与性、天堂与地狱之间,挣扎求存、奋斗的故事。东尼.库什纳(Tony Kushner)的《天使在美国》可谓近几十年来最重要的戏剧之一。此剧共分两部分,总长逾七小时,于1992年至1993年间在伦敦英国国家剧院首演,并赢得普立兹戏剧奖等多项大奖。该剧有趣又感人,尖锐又富有深刻洞见,以充满想象力的方法,探讨爱、痛苦、疾病、死亡、信仰、政治等主题,即使在25年后的今天,仍然发人深省。本次复排版的演员阵容鼎盛,荷里活及英国剧界的一线演员纷纷登场。饰演主角普莱尔的安德鲁加菲(Andrew Garfield)曾获奥斯卡最佳演员提名,代表作包括电影《蜘蛛侠:惊世现新》(The Amazing Spider-Man)及《钢锯岭》(Hacksaw Ridge)。其他主要演员包括主演BBC剧集《宝拉》(Paula)的丹妮斯高弗(Denise Gough),曾演出《星球大战:原力觉醒》(Star Wars: The Force Awakens)的占士麦卡德(James McArdle),曾演出英国国家剧院《高校男生》(The History Boys)的罗素托维(Russell Tovey),以及演出音乐剧《金牌监制》(The Producers)和电影《假凤虚凰》(The Birdcage) 的尼芬连恩(Nathan Lane)。本剧导演玛丽安.艾略特(Marianne Elliott)是奥利花奖及东尼奖双料得主。她为英国国家剧院导演的《深夜小狗神秘习题》(The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time)及《雷霆战驹》(War Horse)都大获成功。这次,她为我们谱写了一曲感人至深的人性赞歌。

前1/3加菲演技略显浮夸但很快被紧凑笑点救场。第二幕两条人物线交织,被精妙地放置在同一场景下的争吵桥段太过精彩。第三幕最激烈,再次刻画恐同的深柜、声称憎恶种族主义的种族主义者、千禧年迫近的身份认同焦虑、伪装多年忽然崩塌撕裂的人们。他们在谈共和党在谈同性恋在谈摩门教吗,他们在谈爱情吗,好像都没有。Shit just happens, then everything is gonna fall apart.

性转似乎也没有很先锋……总时不时冒出来新瓶装旧酒的念头。Mavolio非常抢眼倒是了!前期如同修女的压抑黑袍、假表白信事件后疯疯癫癫的cross-gartered yellow stocking、结尾雨中高台上的剪影,Mavolio属实扛起这出喜剧里唯一的悲剧人设。啊Olivia可真美,哪个妹妹可爱到这种地步我见犹怜何况小马。

Academy Award® nominee Ralph Fiennes (The English Patient, Schindler’s List, Oedipus at the National Theatre) plays Jack Tanner in this exhilarating reinvention of Shaw’s witty, provocative classic. Jack Tanner, celebrated radical thinker and rich bachelor, seems an unlikely choice as guardian to the alluring heiress, Ann. But she takes it in her assured stride and, despite the love of a poet, she decides to marry and tame this dazzling revolutionary. Tanner, appalled by the whiff of domesticity, is tipped off by his chauffeur and flees to Spain, where he is captured by bandits and meets The Devil. An extraordinary dream-debate, heaven versus hell, ensues. Following in hot pursuit, Ann is there when Tanner awakes, as fierce in her certainty as he is in his. A romantic comedy, an epic fairytale, a fiery philosophical debate, Man and Superman asks fundamental questions about how we live.
