书籍介绍
In downstate Illinois, four men convicted of sex crimes against minors share a group home where they live out their lives in the shadow of the offences they committed. A man shows up to confront his childhood abuser – but does he want closure or retribution?
Bruce Norris's provocative play Downstate zeroes in on the limits of our compassion and what happens when society deems anyone beyond forgiveness. It received its UK premiere at the National Theatre, London, in March 2019, in the same production which had its world premiere at Steppenwolf Theatre, Chicago, in September 2018.
用户评论
好戏。形式简单，但是依然好。基于疫情和美国的zz环境前途堪忧。求NTLIVE早日放出。喜剧趣味，文本之外要求观众的思考都到了。技术方面又纯熟又不卖弄又照顾当代观众的短注意力真是用心良苦（这剧本口音之亲民读文本都是有声剧）。剧本上在努力追求一种平衡感（恋童v父权育儿的法律后果；背德爱情和违法；被害人v受害人谁被谁victimize；还有很多当代社会的悖论）虽然作者的倾向其实也一目了然。布尔加科夫剧作集下面有个评论，说作为剧作家的个人在时代的要求下保持真诚是难题。我觉得不是“保持真诚”而是在时代宣教机械道德标准，强调整体、服从，漠视个人的时候，始终记得人作为个体的独特复杂、沟通和理解的不可能，大而化之的道德要求的虚伪。但剧作始终不该是任何道德宣教或者对其反对的武器，所以保持模糊和开放很好
伦敦看的！
太想看这个戏了，但当时我不在伦敦，就忽悠我朋友去看，她说超级好看，而我现在只能看看剧本……她安慰我说人不可能每部剧都看啊，你已经看挺多的了，总比只能坐在家里哪里的戏都看不到的好吧。行。
