演出详情

“《一个人的莎士比亚》可以用优秀、不同凡响、有爆发力的这些词来形容,甚至超越了这些词原本形容的界限。他是喜剧与悲剧的结合,笑声与泪水的交加,以及泰斯庇斯惯有的戏剧性的精妙制作,这些都使得它成为一部完美的戏剧。这部戏只有一个缺点——只要看过一次,它就会萦绕在你心头,多年无法忘怀。你可以请一天假,或者改变一下你的假期计划,甚至重新安排婚礼日期,但是一定不要错过这个演出。”——《Time Out》杂志

“它更像是一个人,站在你面前,和你聊天,回忆人生。但如果你能静下心,与演员一起’进入‘这个私密的莎士比亚世界,你一定会被这些人、这些事,这朴素的人性与真挚的情感所打动。”——《文艺生活周刊》

你的人生中是否也曾有过一位老师,用他自己的方式深刻的影响了你?

他,也许是《死亡诗社》里的基廷教授,也许是《哈利•波特》里的斯内普教授,也许是《一个人的莎士比亚》里疯狂热爱着莎士比亚的瑞维尔校长...

剧情简介:

《一个人的莎士比亚》取材于约瑟夫·格雷夫斯幼年时在伦敦切尔西男童寄宿学校的一段经历和他丰富的莎士比亚戏剧表导演经验,以妙趣横生的手法编织出一个发生在懵懂无知的男孩儿与苛刻霸道的莎士比亚老师之间令人捧腹而又感人至深的故事:

年仅六岁约瑟夫入读一所英国男童寄宿学校,不幸遇到了才华横溢却嗜酒如命的克莱夫·T·瑞维尔校长对新生开展的军训式莎士比亚教育。在迷茫、羞愧与好奇中,小约瑟夫逐渐走进了瑞维尔校长的莎士比亚世界。从对校长的不解和怨恨,到理解与感激,小男孩最终爱上了莎士比亚和那个充满激情的世界,并将其作为自己终身的事业。

“仿佛回到《放牛班的春天》,一段奇特、疯狂、真实的英国往事

莎士比亚、瑞维尔和我

夜晚过去了,日光向前伸展着。

在我身后躺着无法忘怀的死者,

但在我身边走着眼神迷离的女人

她在太阳升起时就这么大笑着……”

Revel’s World of Shakespeare was written and will be performed by Joseph Graves, and directed by Xiaoqing Hu. Graves draws heavily on his considerable personal experiences with Shakespearean plays and study of the plays’ articulations. Graves magically weaves a wildly comedic and deeply moving tale of childhood confusion and exploration, relating it all to the greatest of English writers, William Shakespeare.

At six years of age Graves was introduced to Shakespeare at the difficult hand and demanding style of his brilliant, though drunken teacher, Clive T. Revel (whose last name inspires the title of the piece) headmaster of The Chelsea School for Boys in London, England were young Graves matriculated. The first two years of their alternately hilarious and stormy relationship, (which eventually spanned some forty years) are explored in depth in this provocative, thought provoking and charmingly written new American play.

Revel’s World of Shakespeare has so far performed in Beijing, Hong Kong, Macau and Taipei.
