点评:I thank my lucky stars every year when the Maples Repertory Theatre season begins again. I can’t believe there’s professional theater this good, this consistent, this convenient, this affordable practically in my backyard. I’m a long-term season ticket holder for a reason. They’ve spoiled me! Now when I go see professional live theater in big cities I want the impossible – I want what I get a MRT -- to sit 50 feet from the stage, see a creative theatrical production, have homemade dessert at intermission, spend nearly no time waiting in line in their huge bathroom, and have $$ leftover for dinner.
My favorite production so far this season has been Clue: On Stage. What a terrific production – huge cast of crazy characters coming and going out of more doors than I’ve ever seen on stage at once before. Was it Mrs. Peacock or Professor Plum in the Kitchen with the Knife? Ha! Great set, great costumes and AMAZING performances, as usual! I can highly recommend attending one of their productions in the beautiful Royal Theatre if you ever get the chance.
翻译:每年枫叶剧团的演出季重新开始,我都会感谢我的幸运之星。我简直不敢相信,在我家附近就能有这么棒、这么稳定、这么方便、这么实惠的专业剧院。我长期持有季票是有原因的。他们把我宠坏了!现在,当我去大城市看专业现场演出时,我都渴望不可能的事情——我渴望坐地铁——坐在离舞台50英尺的地方,观看一场创意十足的戏剧表演,中场休息时享用自制甜点,几乎不用在他们巨大的卫生间里排队,还能剩下钱来吃晚餐。
到目前为止,本季我最喜欢的作品是《妙探寻凶:舞台剧》。真是一部精彩绝伦的作品——众多疯狂的角色从比我以前在舞台上见过的还要多的门道里进进出出。是孔雀夫人还是拿着刀在厨房里的普拉姆教授?哈哈!一如既往,布景精美,服装考究,表演精彩绝伦!如果有机会,我强烈建议您去美丽的皇家剧院观看他们的一部作品。
