《短打契科夫》
昨晚在【實驗劇場】看了一齣超棒的戲 Chekhov Shorts！自從上回看完倫敦來的Young Vic 演出《一千零一夜》至今若干年，再度看到這般精采的好戲：既讓你笑到肚子犯疼，又讓你偷偷擦眼淚，四個演員、四卡可坐可臥的隨身皮箱、幾卡偶而出現的皮箱、一張最後才拉出來的白布……這四位加拿大來的超級演員技能演狗也能演貓，幾乎將【實驗劇場】的屋頂掀掉！
真希望你們都在台北，我可以從到尾演一次拙劣模仿版給大家欣賞笑一笑。
忽然覺得住在台北好幸福！上個月有梅爾和尤基諾芭芭、這個月有季辛、瓦樂里，下個月有夏漢、下下個月有祖克曼、下下下個月有齊瑪曼……

Watching Chekhov’s Shorts again, after seeing it in its first season two years ago, was even more enjoyable than the first time As many other critics have said, the play has matured over the past two years, and I have to agree. Nothing has been muddled, or changed for the worse; there is only refinement and improvement.
The play is and hour and forty-five minutes long, with no intermission, and covers four short stories by our Russian favourite, Chekhov himself. Every story, although different, seems connected because of the way the gaps in between the stories are filled: with a train. The performance begins on a train with strangers boarding and sitting down in a box car. After everyone has settled in, one of the strangers begins to tell a story to the others, and then the first skit begins. Each act is strung together in a similar manner, resulting in a smooth transition from story to story.
The atmosphere is largely humorous, despite the standard ”gray-overcast-sky,” typical in Russian literature.
Prop usage is minimal, but brilliant. Luggage, and what the characters themselves are wearing, makes up the majority of the set.
Acting was equally amazing. The cast is made up of one man and three women. All of them work very well together, however, their skill as individuals is what distinguishes them. Through their performance, they manage so well to capture the little things/habits that make us human - hand gestures, facial expressions, sayings created captivating characters.
In conclusion - for the fan of Russian Literature, this is a must. For those that aren’t fans, or aren’t *yet* fans, this play is an thoroughly enjoyable introduction to the Russians. Highly recommended!
Five out of Five stars!
