名優二人の舞台

Vanity Fairの記事（Annie Leibovitzが撮影した写真付き）で知ったのですが、11月にハロルドピンターとサミュエルベケットの舞台がニューヨークで上演されるようです。

舞台になんか興味がないという人も、下記の広告で使われている形容詞は覚えていってください。



Some actors are so mesmerizing. You want to see them twice.
Ian McAllen, Patrick Stewart, Billy Crudup, and Schuller Hensley on Broadway in no man's land and waiting for Gotot
Two plays in Rep.

mesmerizingは演技などが素晴らしい時によく使われる形容詞で、前のブログでも取り上げたことがあります。オックスフォードやケンブリッジの例文ではまさにそのような例文をあげてくれています。

（オックスフォード）
mesmerizing
Her performance was mesmerizing.

（ケンブリッジ）
mesmerize
to hold completely the attention or interest of someone:
Her beautiful voice mesmerized the audience.

This fall, four great actors return to Broadway in two great plays, performed in repertory. IAN McKELLEN, PATRICK STEWART, BILLY CRUDUP and SHULER HENSLEY star in Harold Pinter’s comedy NO MAN’S LAND and Samuel Beckett’s classic WAITING FOR GODOT. Sean Mathias' productions present a startling new look at these two theatrical masterpieces.

In NO MAN’S LAND, two elderly writers, having met in a London pub, continue drinking and talking into the night. All might be well, until the return home of two younger men. Their relationships are exposed, with menace and hilarity, in one of Pinter's most entertaining plays.

In WAITING FOR GODOT, two wanderers wait by a lonely tree, to meet up with Mr. Godot, who they hope will change their lives for the better. Instead, two eccentric travelers arrive, one man on the end of the other's rope. The results are both funny and dangerous.

Beckett and Pinter have fascinated and delighted theatergoers worldwide for decades. Don’t miss this limited engagement of four great actors in eight great parts in two of the theater’s greatest plays.
