回望、致敬,《动机与提示》是一封戏剧人给剧院的深情情书。该剧由杰克·索恩(Jack Thorne)创作,奥斯卡、奥利弗、托尼奖获奖导演萨姆·门德斯(Sam Mendes)执导,2022年在英国国家剧院首演获誉无数,2023年12月移至西区再次上演,2024年奥利弗奖上获得最佳新剧、最佳导演、最佳男主角3项大奖提名,最终马克·加蒂斯(Mark Gatiss)获得最佳话剧男主角奖。 《动机与提示》再现了1964年百老汇复排版《哈姆雷特》的传奇幕后。成名已久的古典派戏剧导演约翰·吉尔古德爵士应邀执导当红电影演员理查德·伯顿演绎新版哈姆雷特,伯顿与大明星伊丽莎白·泰勒新婚不久,个性张扬又我行我素,很快便就如何演绎哈姆雷特的问题与吉尔古德导演爆发了灾难性的争吵。排练无以为继之时,两代戏剧人需要在现代与古典、电影与戏剧、激情与规则等看似水火不容的观念上相互倾听,调和方法,最终成就了一版不可复制的经典佳作。 马克·加蒂斯(Mark Gatiss,《神探夏洛克》《九号秘事》)、约翰尼·弗林(Johnny Flynn,《刽子手》)和塔彭丝·米德尔顿(Tuppence Middleton)分别在剧中扮演约翰·吉尔古德爵士、理查德·伯顿和伊丽莎白·泰勒,并贡献了精彩万分的对手戏。多次获得大奖的舞美设计埃斯·德芙琳(Es Devlin)巧妙为酒店内室、排练厅与虚幻的剧中场景铺陈了不同的色彩风格,流畅的场景切换让观众跟随剧中人,周旋于舞台与名利场之间。
