演不尽的莎士比亚,此话不假。今年9月英国李尔兹伯里剧团(SALISBURY PLAYHOUSE)到中国广州、上海、北京三个城市演出了莎士比亚的四大喜剧之一“第十二夜”。兴许是中国人对“渊远流长”、“名正言顺”十分重视,抑或是当今世界假冒伪劣泛滥,因而对“原装正宗”格外珍视。总之,中国观众对来自莎士比亚祖国的演出特别关注,并寄以极大希望。不过这次李尔兹伯里剧团的演出有些出乎中国观众的预料。这是一台并不注重对时代背景进行“考古”

Endless Shakespeare, to be true. In September this year, the British Liselbury Theater (SALISBURY PLAYHOUSE) performed one of Shakespeare’s four major comedies “Twelfth Night” in three cities of Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing. Perhaps the Chinese people attach great importance to “Yuan Long Shui Long ”, “justifiably ” or is the current world fake and shoddy, and thus “original authentic ” extraordinarily cherished. In short, Chinese audiences pay special attention to performances from Shakespeare’s motherland and send great hopes to it. But this time the performance of the Lordsborough Theater was somewhat beyond the expectation of the Chinese audience. This is a set that does not focus on the background of the times “archeology”
