倒數6天

多得一位熱愛Shakespeare、經常在訪問中引經據典的演員,家中塵封多年的MA筆記終於重見天日。

當年讀MA時,最喜歡的一科是Shakespeare in Performance,更因此在寫畢業論文時選了關於Hamlet的題目。(這是緣份呀緣份!)

不過翻看筆記,才發現自己記性差得可怕,當年讀過的寫過的演過的,都忘得七七八八。

這科在期末有Final performance,要上台演出,我演的是Twelfth Night。當年倒背如流的台詞,現在一句也背不出來。

台詞雖然忘了,但當年既緊張又奮興的心情,至今難忘。Final performance有acting和direction兩項分數,所以學生要兼任演員和導演。重看當年構思direction時自己畫的圖,真的覺得當年很用心(而且畫功奇差)。



不過更驚喜的是,找回了當年交的演出分析。這是Final performance後要交的一篇文章,分析自己對那場戲的處理,解釋為甚麼對白會那樣唸、`為甚麼會有某些動作等等。老年痴呆的我竟然完全沒有印象得過這樣的評語:




"you will be an amazing actor!"!!!!!!

雖然連同上半句一起看的話,就知道這代表演技超爛的我只能紙上談兵,但(選擇性地)看這評語的時候還是很高興的。(記性差真好,忘記了又可以再高興多一次)

雖然無法成為 an amazing actor,但迷上Tom Hiddleston這個amazing actor也很幸福。今天就聽他唸Twelfth Night的對白吧。

If music be the food of love, play on;
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.
That strain again! it had a dying fall:
O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound,
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odour! Enough; no more:
'Tis not so sweet now as it was before.
O spirit of love! how quick and fresh art thou,
That, notwithstanding thy capacity
Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there,
Of what validity and pitch soe'er,
But falls into abatement and low price,
Even in a minute: so full of shapes is fancy
That it alone is high fantastical.
