“雷雨” 在新加坡,我们第二次见面。 第一次大约是在1998年。

首先非常感激实践剧场/晚报的赠票,让我有机会坐在最好,最正中的位子聚精会神的观赏了这一部由实践剧场精心制作百看不厌的舞台剧,“雷雨”。在近年来,很难有机会看到一部这么完整,包括了序的舞台剧。实践剧场,真的没让观众失望。

虽然“雷雨”的内容是家喻户晓,可是,每一次的演出都是令人看得热血沸腾,爱恨交加。

非常欣赏实践剧场这一次用的新,马,台,中,四国的演员,同时在台上付出了他们全部的感情,忘我的融入了每一个角色。或许这就叫做人生如戏,戏如人生吧。非常佩服杨雁雁所饰演的繁漪,她的一举手一投足,都充满了优雅高贵。眼神与表情也突出了一位怨妇的不甘寂寞与饥渴,不顾一切的豁了出去。特别令人感动的是最后那一幕,当她向周萍(朱宏章)摊牌之后的泄底嘶哩的情况。以一个本地演员来说,水准真的是一流。除此之外,四风(李茜)演来即纯朴又可爱,即感爱又无奈。侍萍(范艳华)这位可怜的母亲也赢得了不少观众的同情之泪。

或许少了那两位修女的谈话,(老实说他们的交谈给观众背书的感觉,况且眼神也充满紧张,不断的在想他们的台词),整个“雷雨”的演出可说是无懈可击的。

实践剧场,再接再厉,希望能看到更多这么好的舞台剧在新加坡上演。

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the play.

I too was impressed by Yeo Yann Yann's performance. She did justice to the difficult role of Fanyi. Too bad I was sitting far away in the circle seat, so I could not see her facial expressions well. But I love her voice and onstage gestures, which evoke the sense of desperation of the Fanyi character.

The stage design was very well done too. I can't believe a young NUS architecture undergrad designed it!

This is definitely one of the best Chinese play I've seen in a long while.

Hi, thanks for your sharing. I more than agree with you that Yeo Yann Yann has contributed a tremendous part to Lei Yu, especially during the later parts where she poured out all her emotions.

You're right, the stage design is really very unique and impressive. I love the flexible design, allowing the set to be changed easily, especially at the last part of the play, I think not many audience noticed that the position changed to become a mirror image. It is really fantastic.

The designer, the NUS architecture undergrad, definitely deserves great compliments for the good job. Hope that there are alot of jobs waiting for him, he is definitely talented in stage design.

Yes, I loved this Lei Yu more than the The Last Night of Jin Da Ban that was performed by Liu Xiao Qing from China.

Yup the changeover of the stage set was amazing! I had a bird's eye view of the stage when it was transformed. Thumbs up to the design team.

Mind sharing how the 2006 version differ of Lei Yu from the 1998 one? I vaguely recall Sharon Au was in the 1998 production.

其实不会很清楚的记得1998年的《雷雨》舞台剧和刚演出的舞台剧的不同。可是,对于欧箐仙与杨雁雁在饰演繁漪这个角色的演绎的不同点却还依稀记得。

欧箐仙演来较大胆,敢说敢言,态度嚣张,(对丈夫的态度)。一举手一投足比较现代化,因为在那个时代,女性在丈夫面前不可能有这么天不怕,地不怕的态度。可是在表现那段不可理喻的私情,她又完全比不上杨雁雁的魅,风骚,调情的饥渴态度。在这方面,欧箐仙是比较保守了。

但是,杨雁雁在丈夫面前表达出内心的不满于抗议时,还是很压抑的,还是不敢大胆豁出去的。

这一方面,我觉得如果两个主角配合得好,那将是天衣无缝的。就是说,《雷雨》应该有欧箐仙对丈夫的态度,和杨雁雁调情的表现手法。

thanks, Susannah.
Hopefully the next production of Lei Yu will be even better. I would like to see a more matured and older Yann Yann reprising the role of Fanyi. She will then be closer to the age of Fanyi (35) as envisaged by Cao Yu.

Anytime, i will give my full support, no matter who will be acting in the play.
