点评:Brilliant building, okay staff, horrible programming. If you want to have woke shoved down your throat this place is for you.
I’ve seen several shows here and they are so boring. They obviously think they are “challenging”, but actually they don’t ever challenge the arts “community’s” current orthodoxy. They only have one point of view, so you pretty much know how’s the show will proceed and ultimately end.
Last show I saw was Mid Summers Dream… whilst not overtly “woke” it was a “modern” take on the play and they had ripped the script apart in a childish and derivative way… cut and altered the script, added passages (lots of contractions so the language they used didn’t fit with the original script). All very well but it left a lot of plot devices unfinished and just hanging. I can only imagine the director didn’t completely understand the source material. That said the actors where without exception good and a couple of them were great.
The play ended with loads of dead bodies… ehh… one shot by Puck… so not very uplifting … weird behaviour for a mischievous sprite.
Pretty dire really.

我在这里看过好几场演出,都无聊透顶。他们显然自以为“很有挑战性”,但实际上根本没有挑战艺术“界”的既定观念。他们只有一种观点,所以你几乎可以预料到剧情走向和最终结局。
我最近看的演出是《仲夏夜之梦》……虽然没有刻意强调“觉醒”,但它对原剧进行了“现代”改编,以一种幼稚且缺乏原创性的方式对剧本进行了大刀阔斧的改动……删改剧本,添加段落(大量使用缩略语,导致语言风格与原剧本格格不入)。这些改动固然不错,但却留下了许多未完结的剧情线索。我只能猜测导演对原著理解不够透彻。不过,所有演员的表演都很出色,其中几位更是精彩绝伦。
戏演到最后,尸体遍地……呃……其中一具是帕克开的枪……真是让人提不起劲……对于一个调皮捣蛋的小精灵来说,这行为也太奇怪了。
真是惨不忍睹。
