继莎士比亚的《哈姆雷特》之后,TNT剧团在今年十月的时候在上海又上演了莎士比亚的又一剧作《驯悍记》,不同于《哈姆雷特》的大喜大悲,《驯悍记》算是轻松活泼的喜剧,让观众们几乎从头笑到尾。沪江小编我有幸采访到了两位主演(虽然就短短几分钟哈)。下面就是这次的小访谈了。
Q: I saw you in the audience right before the show, playing drunk; you will still do that tomorrow?
A: yes, it’s very fun. One of the audiences at the back row told me to behavior myself. Then he realized its part of the show. Its quiet fun, I like it.
Q: Shakespeare’s play is really classic; you put in it some new elements in the traditional play, right?
A: yes, we have some changes. Like the start, I put on a modern T-shirt, a Beckham T-shirt. But besides that, we keep true to the text. Sometimes the tradition piece would be difficult for people to enjoy. You have to think that everything you need Shakespeare has already written for you. So we no need sort of deliberately sited in modern time, because it doesn’t need to be. I mean it’s fine to do that if people want to do that, but we likely to keep on the show quiet traditional. We use a lot of mask words and Latin lyric, I hope it worked.
Q: Do you think you really can change the Katerina into a fair lady?
A: well, Katrina is my real life girlfriend, but she would not let me tame her like that. I think it’s more the other way round. She tamed me.
Q: What do you think the audience today? Did they laugh at the right time?
A: yes, they were great audience, they seems to enjoy it, hopefully. They laugh at the right time. It’s really nice to be able to in the comedy to make people come out for their evenings and entertain them, send them home with smile on their faces. It’s very enjoyable work. We go to so many different places and you got so many different reactions of the audience.
Q: You don’t think the language is a problem for them?
A: hopefully, the subtitles would be easy enough for them to follow. Even you don’t speak English, you still could pick up a few words.
Q: Next time you will come here again for the Romeo and Juliet…
A: yes, Romeo and Juliet is next year’s plan. That should be fun.
Q: So you will still follow the group and visit a lot of countries?
A: yes, this tour we’ve been already ten countries. We started in Asia with Thailand, Singapore, China, then we went to Dubai and we went to European, Japan as well.
Q: Have fun in Shanghai.
A: we love Shanghai, but we are very poor in here. We spent all our money but we still have so much to do.
