点评:The Festival is a lovely thing to experience. BUT, a few things: there is no walkable good restaurant near the Festival Theatre. Light cafe food is OK, but not great when you are seeing two shows in one day. Most performances by actors are quite good, some Broadway and West End caliber. BUT in As You Like It, some actors did not project well in the beginning of the play. This is Stratford, not summer stock. Move shows that are not selling well to smaller venue. Annie: wonderful energy and all, but the set was not very good. What was that stairway doing in an orphanage? And the Christmas scene was boring: two puny trees do not make an impression. Annie would have been better in the Avon Theatre where the settings could have been amazing. Speaking of sets: AYLI had the worst sets I have seen for a Shakespeare play. First act was dark and dank. Second act: a few flower beds do not make a stimulating and captivating forest setting (yes, I know it is supposed to be less than ideal in the concept for this production, but boring is boring. All in all, I would recommend seeing shows in the Avon Theatre when you can as there is a very walkable area for food and crafts and more. Have Fun.
翻译:参加节日是一次愉快的经历。但是,有几点需要注意:节日剧院附近没有步行可到的好餐厅。咖啡馆的便餐还可以,但是如果一天看两场演出的话,那就不是很好了。大多数演员的表演都相当不错,有些堪比百老汇和西区演员。但是在《皆大欢喜》中,有些演员在开场时表现不佳。这里是斯特拉特福德,不是夏季档期。把票房不佳的演出转移到小场地演出。《安妮》:活力四射,但是布景不太好。那楼梯怎么会出现在孤儿院里?圣诞节的场景很无聊:两棵小树没有给人留下什么印象。如果《安妮》在雅芳剧院演出,那里的布景会更加精彩。说到布景:《安妮》的布景是我见过的莎士比亚戏剧中最糟糕的。第一幕又暗又阴冷。第二幕:几个花坛并不能构成一个令人兴奋和着迷的森林场景(是的,我知道这在这部作品的概念中应该不太理想,但无聊就是无聊。总而言之,我建议你有机会去雅芳剧院看演出,因为那里有一个非常适合步行的区域,可以吃点东西、做些手工艺品等等。玩得开心。
