8.2 (25 个评分) Rufus Wainwright 类型: 民谣
发布日期 2001年6月5日 出版发行: Dreamworks UK
1973年出生的洛福斯温莱特(Rufus Wainwright)从小在加拿大蒙特利尔长大,双亲Loudon Wainwright和Kake Mcgarrigle都是民谣音乐界的杰出人物。他从小跟着母亲、阿姨、妹妹巡回表演,14岁时已获得加拿大朱诺音乐奖最具潜力新人奖,而同时他的单曲“I’m A-Runnin”也获得加拿大Genie奖(如同美国奥斯卡电影奖)最佳电影主题曲提名。Rufus Wainwright青少年时期醉心于歌剧,更视dith Piaf、Al Jolson、Judy Garland为偶像,后来他在纽约州求学期间,才把对古典乐的兴趣转移至流行和摇滚乐。Rufus Wainwright是个才华洋溢、不可多得的歌手和词曲创作者,1998年,以同名专辑《Rufus Wainwright》出道即被滚石杂志誉为最佳新进艺人,并且也被纽约时代杂志、娱乐周刊、纽约人杂志、洛杉机时代杂志、华盛顿邮报评定为该年度十大最佳专辑,1999年还获得加拿大朱诺音乐奖最佳另类专辑奖。
2001年5月发行了专辑《Poses》,这张专辑以走精致、不落俗套、具大胆音速结构的流行音乐再度获得盛赞。他相信歌曲自己会说话,只要听者用心聆听,自然会知道他想阐述的意念。许多时髦风尚的开创者都称Rufus Wainwright是个技艺高超的出色艺人,也是新世代中最受期待的后续人选!
在这样寂静的夜,闭上眼睛,只有Rufus Wainwright那寂寞、庸懒的吟唱,让人不由地想起原本清澈的小溪,在月色朦胧下却发散着勾引的气息,思绪也心甘情愿任他的嗓音指引,慢悠悠地晃出身躯,神游于他的音乐之中。
平静中孕育着爆发,渲泄中预示着镇静。

Tuesdays and Sundays
作者: Daniel Arnold / Medina Hahn Dramatic Publishing 2007 - 1
About the Play:
Tuesdays & Sundays is a one-act drama by Daniel Arnold and Medina Hahn. Long ago, two innocents fell in love. Now in limbo, they awake to reveal what really happened – what lasts an evening, a few months, what dies, what remains forever. Particularly suitable for schools and play contests.
Tuesdays & Sundays follows a teenage couple through the overwhelming passions of first love. The spirits of William and Mary, a teenage couple, awaken into a void. As they question where they are, they begin to relive their first meeting at a New Year's Eve social, the initial giddy courtship and the overwhelming passions of first love, the pangs of a six-month absence from each other, an unplanned pregnancy, and the guilt and shame of a young man living in a rural community in which respectability is of utmost importance. Although they try to nourish their love amidst the confusing emotions and events of their lives, misunderstanding and fear create terrible consequences, turning William and Mary's romance into stunning tragedy. A multi award-winning play, Tuesdays & Sundays was inspired by a true love story that took place in 1887 in the farming community of Margate on Prince Edward Island.
Tuesdays & Sundays premiered at Theatre Network's NextFest 2000 (directed and dramaturged by Wojtek Kozlinski), then went on to a sold out Canadian Fringe Tour, rave reviews at the Edinburgh Festival, and an Overall Production Award at the New York Fringe. This production has now been presented by over 15 theatre companies throughout the world including Canada's National Arts Centre and has been included on Top Ten of the Year lists in New York, Toronto, Edmonton, and Vancouver.
Cast: 1 woman, 1 man (or 2 women, 2 men)
What people say:
"An insightful, moving, and rather marvelous tale … it packs an emotional wallop reminiscent of more straightforward works like Brian Friel's Lovers and even Our Town. You'll want to clap till forever." — New York Sun
"Engagingly comic and touchingly sad." — The New York Times
"A little jewel-like thing…haunts you long after you have left the theatre." — The Guardian (UK)
"This piece is unmissable." — Edinburgh Herald (Scotland)
"Breathtaking…brilliant." — Vancouver Sun
"Wonderfully written…it captures the way you grow up into life, with all its darker colours, tension, complexities…elegant, and mysterious…an amazingly assured script that takes young love gradually, unobtrusively into the darkest terrain." — Edmonton Journal
"A play of awesome power." — Albuquerque Journal

一句话剧透:十九世纪缺乏性教育和避孕知识的加村青少年的悲剧…很纯爱,很青春。这种念白方式像唱歌又像读诗,好特别。大卫甜又演了一次渣男…

Pi的老爸是开动物园的,他从小也算是耳濡目染了很多动物的门道。全家离开印度,移民加拿大,携动物坐船的途中,船体莫名失事,很快沉入海底。幸存的只有Pi、斑马、鬣狗、大猩猩和孟加拉老虎理查德·帕克。
一开始,Pi将帕克救上了船,但被生存刺激到的他,又自动跳入大海。可是,海中也是有鲨鱼的,没办法,他只好用一只船桨把自己吊在船头。
很快,动物间的弱肉强食就开始了,鬣狗貌似把老虎赶下了船,杀死了斑马,又杀死了猩猩。Pi决定去和鬣狗决一死战,可却意外发现老虎仍然藏身在救生艇中……最终,老虎杀死鬣狗,独占大半救生艇的空间。
一人一虎开始了博弈。Pi为什么可以活着呢?因为只有他可以为老虎提供鱼肉和淡水。为什么Pi让老虎活着呢?因为绝望比老虎更可怕。
结尾,老虎和Pi分道扬镳,各自活着。
再结尾,Pi却讲述了一个“人”的故事:如果上述动物不存在,真实的故事发生于海难幸存者之间的话。
