(玛格丽特)呆在热铁皮屋顶上的猫的胜利到底是什么?我真想知道……我琢磨,大概是一个劲儿地呆在屋顶上,能呆多久就呆多久吧…… (大爹)哼,我去的地方比这还远呢,我刚从月球背面回来,刚从阴曹地府回来,儿子啊,再有天大的事都吓不到我。总而言之,我住的地方一向很宽...
评分记得电影《断背山》的结尾,艾利斯打开衣橱,伸手拉出两件套在一起的衣服,尘封的记忆宛似冬日的清冽空气奔袭而来。此时镜头安静之极,犹如时光的瞬间凝固。于是我们知道,尽管艾利斯于现实中逃避,但他的心灵幽深处是直面这段往事的。而故事发生时代早于《断背山》若干年的《...

The definitive text of this American classic—reissued with an introduction by Edward Albee ( Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and A Delicate Balance ) and Williams' essay "Person-to-Person." Cat on a Hot Tin Roof first heated up Broadway in 1955 with its gothic American story of brothers vying for their dying father's inheritance amid a whirlwind of sexuality, untethered in the person of Maggie the Cat. The play also daringly showcased the burden of sexuality repressed in the agony of her husband, Brick Pollitt. In spite of the public controversy Cat stirred up, it was awarded the Pulitzer Prize and the Drama Critics Circle Award for that year. Williams, as he so often did with his plays, rewrote Cat on a Hot Tin Roof for many years—the present version was originally produced at the American Shakespeare Festival in 1974 with all the changes that made Williams finally declare the text to be definitive, and was most recently produced on Broadway in the 2003-04 season. This definitive edition also includes Williams' essay "Person-to-Person," Williams' notes on the various endings, and a short chronology of the author's life. One of America's greatest living playwrights, as well as a friend and colleague of Williams, Edward Albee has written a concise introduction to the play from a playwright's perspective, examining the candor, sensuality, power, and impact of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof then and now.
打印的,几个版本的戏本,都对最后的群戏进行了改动,其实目的很简单,让读者对结局和作者的意图产生不一样的理解
评分同性tension的影子又一次縈繞上空..heartbreakingly beautiful. "We are all of us sentenced to solitary confinement inside our own skins"
评分后记其实很有意思,可以看到剧作家的自我坚持:事件的发生只不过反映了人物的本质。与之相比导演追求的事件改变人物是多么俗套。(不过第三幕里大老爹完全没出场我也是没想到的。)
评分这一版有第三幕的前后改动,剧作家说是从了导演,让maggie更明显地惹人怜,让父亲回来,让brick的转变更可信。比起电影,大爸更贪心自私(lesshearty),brick更aloof和无药可救——电影最后光明了。
评分---"One man has one great good true thing in his life. One great good thing which is true. I had friendship with Skipper. You are naming it dirty."---"I'm not naming it dirty! I'm naming it clean" "I'm naming it so damn clean that it killed Skipper"
