他是这个舞台上最漂亮的女人。 然后她出现了。
在1661年的伦敦,女性被禁止在剧院表演,演员爱德华·基纳斯顿(Edward Kynaston)扮演女性角色的生活令人难以置信。 但当国王允许女性登台时,爱德华的生活发生了翻天覆地的变化。
Jeffrey Hatcher’s 完全的女性舞台美人, directed by Professor Michelle Felten, will be presented at Playwrights’ Theatre at 萨克拉门托 State, 6000 J St., at 8 p.m. 11月12-14日、20-21日; 下午六点半 11月18 - 19日的; 下午2点。 11月15日和22日。
在剧中,随着女性开始登上复辟时期英国的舞台,爱德华一夜之间失去了生计、爱人和自我意识。 但是命运和复仇的欲望给了他一个再次登上舞台的机会。
“This story of passion, jealousy, and gender identity is at times both funny and heartbreaking,” Felten says.
她在演出这部作品时遇到了许多挑战。 “There are elaborate period costumes and wigs for both men and women, working on a ‘raked’ stage, and directing actors to act not only believably, but also badly, as the women develop their skills as the first real 女演员,” Felten says. “It makes for some very entertaining and humorous moments.”
老科尔·温斯洛饰演爱德华·基纳斯顿。
“He is one of the last male actors to play female parts in England,” Winslow says. “He’s very vain, very high-maintenance, and very self-involved. He’s probably one of the most likable and unlikable characters I’ve ever experienced.”
温斯洛为准备这个角色做了大量的研究,他说最大的挑战之一是这个角色的身体素质。 “I’m naturally not too graceful, and Kynaston is very graceful. I’m learning how to try to be beautiful all the time with movement, and presentation and posture.”
费尔滕说,这部剧在很多层面上都能发挥作用,将吸引各种各样的口味。 “The beauty of 完全的女性舞台美人 is that it is just as much a comedy as it is an elegant period drama,” she says.
完全的女性舞台美人 被评为PG-13级/成人观众,因为有强烈的语言和性场景。
