The plague is making its way through Thebes. The oracle says the city is doomed because the murder of King Laius has remained unpunished. His successor Oedipus wants to free the people, who suffer greatly, of this curse. He leads the investigation personally. This is not the first time for Oedipus. He previously solved the riddle of the sphinx. He is determined to leave no stone unturned. The outcome is devastating: to everyone’s great dismay – not in the least his own – Oedipus himself turns out to be the culprit
Sophocles’s most famous tragedy is the first story about crime and punishment. But just how guilty is Oedipus? He fled from his supposed parents when the oracle predicted he would kill his father and marry his mother. He killed Laius, whom he did not know, out of self-defense. Jocasta was offered to him for marriage after he freed Thebes from the sphinx. What is he to blame for? Oedipus did all he could to escape fate. The startling conclusion is that none of it has made a difference: the course of his life was predetermined and he will be punished no matter what.
Oedipus’s quest is full of surprising twists. This turns the story into a chilling thriller. It is impossible not to be affected while watching someone head towards his demise while being determined to discover the truth. Oedipus is much more than the story of a man who has looked but not seen. The age-old attraction will always be how recognizable his fate is: the vulnerability of existence. And the fact that it is nearly impossible to control our lives and fortune.

马强2024Wyndham的版本,Icke改的剧本。给剧情现代化了,当国王变竞选总统。但原来俄迪浦斯人设就是光明磊落大英雄,所以他才会纠结于这事,但如果是政客的话,这么忠厚老实的太不真实了,不该是“我不尴尬、那尴尬的就是你”吗,而这现代化之后的硬伤也不是马强等人凭演技能解决的。... 马强2024Wyndham的版本,Icke改的剧本。给剧情现代化了,当国王变竞选总统。但原来俄迪浦斯人设就是光明磊落大英雄,所以他才会纠结于这事,但如果是政客的话,这么忠厚老实的太不真实了,不该是“我不尴尬、那尴尬的就是你”吗,而这现代化之后的硬伤也不是马强等人凭演技能解决的。 (展开)

@ Wyndham’s Theatre London 古典戏剧确实超越时代熠熠生辉,明明剧情大家都心知肚明而偏偏就能杀出个惊心动魄天动地摇的效果。这个现代政治家庭戏改编与其说要追求映照当代,不如说是在用现代的元素制造一个适宜高度戏剧性的精妙容器,这一点上舞台估计比纯文学有优势。马强刚柔并济,女主基本是全场高光所在几乎幻视梅姨了,伦敦戏剧圈是真吃得好,不得不服... @ Wyndham’s Theatre London 古典戏剧确实超越时代熠熠生辉,明明剧情大家都心知肚明而偏偏就能杀出个惊心动魄天动地摇的效果。这个现代政治家庭戏改编与其说要追求映照当代,不如说是在用现代的元素制造一个适宜高度戏剧性的精妙容器,这一点上舞台估计比纯文学有优势。马强刚柔并济,女主基本是全场高光所在几乎幻视梅姨了,伦敦戏剧圈是真吃得好,不得不服 (展开)

现代化的改变并没有让故事的复杂度与深度更胜一筹,新舞台上唯一合理的结局便是夫妻两人安然接受,装作无事发生,任何其他反应都只让故事变的愈来愈像一场盛大的烂俗闹剧。 一个对子女教育失败的政治家,一个以民粹上台却连自己出身都不清楚的政治家,一个无法控制情绪的政治家,如此幼稚化政客形象,将其塑造的如未成年一样愚蠢与情绪化,不但没有任何讽刺意味,反而让人觉得十分滑稽。 为什么在真相揭晓后夫妻/母子要狂欢... 现代化的改变并没有让故事的复杂度与深度更胜一筹,新舞台上唯一合理的结局便是夫妻两人安然接受,装作无事发生,任何其他反应都只让故事变的愈来愈像一场盛大的烂俗闹剧。 一个对子女教育失败的政治家,一个以民粹上台却连自己出身都不清楚的政治家,一个无法控制情绪的政治家,如此幼稚化政客形象,将其塑造的如未成年一样愚蠢与情绪化,不但没有任何讽刺意味,反而让人觉得十分滑稽。 为什么在真相揭晓后夫妻/母子要狂欢?而为什么在这之后妻/母又会用代表阳具的手枪自杀?她早就意识到自己只是欲望的容器,自杀只会让她彻底丧失人性,变成用过即弃的工具。 原本预期在掌声中,俄狄浦斯会自戳双目,变成小丑一样的人物。没想到结尾却用闪回来实现反高潮,这一反高潮破坏了戏剧本身所有的悲剧美,显得矫情无比。 (展开)

Icke这版好震撼,一开始对场景小巧思设计有心理准备,但真相揭开倒计时清零时刻还是寒毛都竖起来了。结尾绝望情绪高峰荧屏一黑回到俄狄浦斯和伊俄卡斯忒初次来到房间充满期待畅想未来的片段做结局…感觉很虐待演员。PS我东亚人感想,老O靠个人拼搏走上理想人生误娶亲妈生三个小孩都完美回避基因病怎么也算个欧皇,要是他俩想得开这都不算个事,人类还是被很多东西束缚了。...
