I 'I' yokuba Ndadibana Njani Nonyoko '

Isidlo sakusasa noJosh Radnor uza ngaphandle kwekofu. Yayindishiya ndiziva ndinentambo encinci, ke ndiyekile malunga neminyaka emibini eyadlulayo, uyachaza ngaphambi kokuba ajike kwiweyitala kwindawo yokutyela yaseWestside uku-odola i-English Breakfast Tea, enobisi nobusi. Ndisasela itoni yecaffeine. Uyancuma emqinisekisa umntu osela ikofu ngakuye.

Indawo yokutyela ethandwayo e-Upper Broadway ibiyeyakhe uSchwab okokoko ikufutshane nalapho uLincoln amngenise khona ngelixa ebuyela eNew York theatre emva kokwenza udumo olithoba, iminyaka yokwenza igama e-LA sitcomland njengo-I Ingaba ndadibana njani nomama wakho . Waphuma waya kumdlali weqonga kwaye wabuya ubuyile.

Kungoku nje umlingisi onento ekumgangatho ophezulu oye wakhwela Umda weBhabheli , Umdlalo kaRichard Greenberg, ogoba uDisemba 5 eMitzi E. Newhouse Theatre.

Isishwankathelo esibanzi somdlalo, uthi, ndidlala umbhali ohluphekileyo, osokolayo, novalelekileyo ohlala kwilali ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yama-60 kwaye, ukuze enze imali eyongezelelekileyo, athathe uloliwe oya e-Levittown, LI , kanye ngeveki ukufundisa ukubhala ngobuchule koomama. Iphela iba nefuthe kubo bonke. Ngokusisiseko, le yingxelo yeklasi.

Unike umdlalo uvavanyo ukuba luqhube ihlobo ezimbini ezidlulileyo eVassar eNew York Stage nakwifilimu apho ahlala khona echitha iihiatus zakhe esebenza kwimidlalo emitsha (umkhwa awuthathe eneminyaka eyi-19 xa wayefunda khona). Emva koko siye safunda eLincoln Centre ngoJanuwari, kwaye bayifaka kuluhlu lwabo lwe-2016-2017. Andizange ndiyazi ukuba ndiza kukhululeka ngelo xesha, ndicwangcise ngobulumko, kodwa 'iifuries' zandizingela zingapheli, zingenanceba, ukwenza lo mveliso. Okuvuyisayo kukuba, isebenze nje kakuhle, kwaye ndandikho ukuyenza.

Iifuries iya kuba nguJulie Halston, uRandy Graff kunye noMaddie Corman, abadlala abathathu babaninimzi abanomdla wokubhala kwiklasi yakhe. UFrank Wood noMichael Oberholtzer bayayiphinda le khosi ngokunjalo. Ngapha koko, bonke ngaphandle kwamalungu asixhenxe uVassar wabanjwa Umda weBhabheli yokuzibandakanya kweNew York.

'Yile ndlela ndaqeqeshwa ngayo kwi-NYU. Ndiyayithanda imbono yenkampani. Ndiyayithanda into yokuba amalungu ahlangane enze yonke le nto. '

Sele ndiyenzile nabo ngaphambili, bendiyazi indlela abakrelekrele ngayo-kwaye banobubele kwaye bayathandeka, utshilo uRadnor. Ivakala ngathi yinkampani efanelekileyo, njengeqela.

Yindlela endandiqeqeshwe ngayo kwi-NYU. Ndiyayithanda imbono yenkampani. Ndiyayithanda imbono yamalungu eza kunye ukwenza yonke loo nto. Wonke umntu ukhonza umdlalo Ekuqaleni , into entle ukuba yinxalenye. Akukho mntu kule cast andingavuyi ukuba ndidle naye. Wonke umntu ukhetheke ngokwenene, wahlukile ngeendlela zakhe ezithile.

Umntu omtsha oza kuphoswa, uElizabethe Reaser, ubonelela ngothando oluncinci kuRadnor, njengoko wenzayo kwifilimu yakhe, UbuGcisa boLuntu . Udlala umfundi one-agoraphobia ongashiyanga xesha lide endlwini yakhe, utshilo. Ungumfazi oethe-ethe kakhulu, okrelekrele kakhulu oye wazama ukungena kwilizwe nje lokuthatha le khosi yokubhala.

Umdlalo kaRichard ngumdlalo weqonga kangangokuba uqhuba ngcono kunokuba ufundwa, ndiyacinga. Amava okufunda kunye nokuba ukuyo ahluke kakhulu. Ayizukusebenza njengenoveli. Ulwimi luyinkondlo kwaye luhlangene ngexesha elifanayo. Kukho le miqolo mihle, kodwa ikwavakala ngathi yindlela abathetha ngayo aba bantu.

Nje ukuba uyifumane ngeenyawo nasemoyeni, ulwimi luphila ngendlela eyahlukileyo. Amabali amaninzi iklasi ebhalayo ayenzeka ebomini, kwaye abafundi abafunda nabo abahlukeneyo bayazilingisa. Ke isenzo sesibini singena kweli bali lendalo. Kuyinto engalindelekanga kakhulu. Ukuba ucinga uyabona apho iya khona, ewe no hayi. Kuyamangalisa ngakumbi kunoko.

URadnor wenza i-Broadway debut yakhe ngo-2002, ethatha indawo kaJason Biggs Abaphumeleleyo , ejongene noKathleen Turner owoyikekayo, kwaye waphila ngokubalisa ibali (nangona engayi kuthi).

Kwiminyaka elishumi elinambini kamva, wabuyela ku-Broadway kumdlalo we-Ayad Akhtar's Pulitzer Prize kwi-Islamophobia kunye nokuzazisa okungalunganga kwabemi base-Muslim-American. Ngoku, lonto yayingamava amangalisayo, uxela. Uyilo lwalo mdlalo uvakala ngathi uziva ubanjiwe ngawo-ngathi uyahamba kwaye abaphulaphuli bayatsalwa kunye nawo. Inamandla anjalo. Nje ukuba iqale, ayipheli. Ihlala isanda.

Kwakumnandi ukuba ngaphakathi kulo mdlalo kwaye uzive abaphulaphuli. Ukwiingxoxo kunye nabo ngalo lonke ixesha, kodwa ibivakala ngathi abaphulaphuli banolwazi olunzulu, olunzulu, olungenakuphikiswa ngalo. Kwakukho into ekhethekileyo ngokubonisa ngalo mzuzu. Emva Isandla kuThixo , kungoku nje owona mdlalo uveliswe kakhulu elizweni, ke loo mzuzu xa umdlalo uziva ubalulekile usekhona.

Isibonakaliso sokuqala sikaRadnor sokuba ikhondo lakhe lomsebenzi lalisiya kwicala elililo kuxa wayefumana imbasa yokubambela eKenyon, ethiywe ngegama leyona alum idumileyo yale kholeji, uPaul Newman. Akakwazi ukubeka izandla zakhe ngalo mzuzu. Ndicinga ukuba isendlwini yam, kodwa ayibonakali. Ndiyiphumelele ngoDonald Margulies ’ Ukubona okungabonwayo . Ndidlale umzobi kuloo nto ithisisi yam ephezulu. Kwakungumdlalo omkhulu kunye nomdlali odlalayo.

Xa ndandisekholejini ndaza ndafunda esikolweni, ndandinombono weyona meko ilungileyo: Ndacinga ukuba ndisebenza kwimidlalo emitsha yaseMelika kunye nababhali bemidlalo egumbini, ndiyifumene kunye— lonto , njengomdlali weqonga, angonwaba ngendlela eyoyikisayo, kwaye ndibusisiwe ukuba ndikwazi ukwenza oko kunye no-Ayad noRichard. Elo punch-one-2 livakalelwa ngokungathi ndiyaziphosa ngokwenene kwindawo yemidlalo yeqonga, endiyithatha njengesiseko sam njengeqonga. Kwaye ukuba nezi zityebi ngokumangalisayo, umdlalo onomvuzo wokusebenzela liphupha.

Kwaqala kwabhengezwa ukuba uRadnor wabethelwa ukuba abe ngumfo ozise uLaura Benanti ice cream kwiRoundabout's Uyandithanda -Utshintsho olusengqiqweni ukusuka Ingaba ndadibana njani nomama wakho - kodwa yadibana neyakhe elandelayo, kunye neyangoku, uthotho. Ngethamsanqa, akazange alinde ixesha elide ukufumana okungcono.

Ndiyifumene le ndima yenkulungwane ye-19, ugqirha otyando otyumkileyo e-morphine kwisibhedlele semfazwe yamakhaya kuthotho lwe-PBS olubizwa Isitalato iMercy . Yayingamava anzulu kakhulu kum, ukudlala le ndima. Kuvakala ngathi I-Knick , kodwa lixesha langaphambili. Besinabo, nangona kunjalo, sinabacebisi bezonyango abafanayo. Kwaye ndinendawo yokunqunyulwa amalungu. Kwafuneka ndinqumle umlenze womninawa wam kulo mboniso. Ixesha lethu lesibini limiselwe ukuqala ngoJanuwari.

Ngentwasahlobo ulindele ukuba seKrakow, ethatha indawo yesithathu: iifilimu. Ngaphandle kwesihloko ngalo mzuzu, le iya kuba yeyesithathu eyibhalileyo kwaye eyalathisile. Ngokungafaniyo no-2010 Ndiyakuvuyela nango-2012 UbuGcisa boLuntu , ngekhe adlale kuyo.

URadnor kakhulu ngumdlalo bhanyabhanya ophuma kade. 'Oko ndaba ngumenzi wefilimu, bendizama ukugcwalisa izikhewu zolwazi lwam lwe-cinema.'

Ndaye kwijaji yomnyhadala wefilimu ePoland kwiminyaka embalwa eyadlulayo, kwaye ndandiwuthanda, utshilo uRadnor. Ndagqiba ndaya kwidolophu kamakhulu wam, idolophu encinci ebizwa ngokuba yiPinczow malunga neyure engaphandle kweKrakow. Ndandinombono owawukhaba entlokweni yam, kwaye ndacinga, ‘Kutheni le nto ingenakuba seKrakow?’ Ndayibeka ke apho.

Kukho indawo yam evakalelwa ngokwenene njengomlawuli, kwaye ndizama ukuhlonipha zombini iimpembelelo kum, uyavuma. Ngaphezu koko, uziva enganyanzelekanga ukuba ahlalele enye. Ndiphantse ndive ngathi kufuneka ndithathe isigqibo, kodwa andenzi njalo. Akukho mntu undibuza ukuba.

USydney Pollack wayezigqala njengomlawuli ngaphezu komdlali weqonga- nangona ndandisoloko ndicinga ngaye njengomdlali owoyikisayo- kwaye wayekhe wathi uzakuthatha kuphela imisebenzi yokubonisa ifilimu ukuba ufuna ukujonga umlawuli. Abalawuli abafumani thuba lokubukela abanye abalawuli besebenza. Ngokwenene bakwiqamza njengomlawuli. Ndicinga ukuba wayenomdla malunga nomlawuli angathatha nje indima ukuba bayamnika ukuze ajonge indlela esebenza ngayo umlawuli. Ndacinga ukuba yinto entle leyo. Uliqhawe lam lokwenene, ngobugcisa. Ndacinga ukuba uqhubeka ngendlela enomdla kakhulu.

URadnor kakhulu ngumdlalo bhanyabhanya ophuma kade. Oko ndaba ngumenzi wefilimu, bendizama ukugcwalisa izikhewu zolwazi lwam lwe-cinema. Ndiyazithanda izinto zeCriterion. Ndiyibonile kaLouis Malle Ukumbombozela kwentliziyo , kwaye ndayithanda. Ubonile Ukukhanya kwenyanga ? Esi sesinye isiqwenga sobugcisa esihlala nawe sikhule, kudala emva kokuba usibonile.

Ngokukwanjalo, wenza ukuthanda kwakhe okugqwethekileyo: Skidoo , I-mega-flop ka-Otto Preminger, eyayinoJackie Gleason ekhubeka entolongweni, uCarol Channing-Frankie Avalon sex-romp, zonke iingoma zokuvala ezaziculwa nguHarry Nilsson, noGroucho Marx 'njengoThixo.'

Ngaba yeyona bhanyabhanya iyinqaba eyakhe yenziwa, akunjalo? -Yenye yezona zimbi. Xa ndiyichaza ebantwini, abandikholelwa. [Sukuziva ungalunganga: Nokuba i-IMDB ayizanga nesishwankathelo.] Istudiyo sagaya uOtto ukuba enze i-anti-LSD movie, kwaye umhlobo wakhe wathi, 'Ungankqonkqozi de uzame , 'wenza njalo kwaye wayithanda kwaye wazama ukungena umyalezo omncinci. Yeyona DVD iceliwe kakhulu. Ngapha koko, kukho ngu akukho DVD. Kukho iiprinta ezimbalwa kuphela. Umhlobo wam e-L.A.-uzibiza ngokuba 'ungoyena mhlaba uphela Skidoo logist’ — yenza uhlolo. Ndaya komnye kwi-Theatre yase-Egypt kwaye andizange ndikholelwe. Uthe, ‘Ukuba uyakucaphukela oku, linda imizuzu emihlanu kuba iyakuba yimovie eyahlukileyo.’ Kuyo yonke imephu. Usazama ukufumana iParamount ukuba ikhuphe iDVD, kodwa indawo yePreminger ayifuni.

Ityalwe kakuhle iti, uRadnor uthatha uhambo aye eofisini-iholo lokuziqhelanisa namathumbu eLincoln Centre. Kuba Umda weBhabheli unesakhelo sokubuyela umva, uzobe umsebenzi ophindwe kabini, kufana nomphathi weqonga ngaphakathi Idolophu yethu : Ndikwindawo zombini kwaye ndithetha nabaphulaphuli kancinci. Ndikuwo zombini njengomlinganiswa nanjengombalisi. Esivakala ngathi sincinci Ingaba ndadibana njani nomama wakho , kodwa ayisiyiyo. Omdala kum uneminyaka engama-87, kwaye omncinci kum uneminyaka engama-38. Kuba ndihlala ndisiya ngapha nangapha, andidlali ndikhulile-ndimncinci nje. Kukho isiqhulo malunga naloo nto ekuqaleni.

‘Isityebi’ ngokwenene ngumbhali odlalayo. Ndiyakwazi ukuxela kuba okukhona ndenza lo mdlalo ndihlala ndisiva izinto ezintsha. Ndihlala ndisenza unxibelelwano, phantse unxibelelwano ngoncwadi malunga nezinto ezithile azenzileyo ngokobuqaqawuli obukrelekrele kangangokuba ngekhe ufumane ukubonwa kuqala, kodwa kwenza amava abe nomvuzo omkhulu. Ndicinga ukuba iya kuba ngamava amnandi ngokwenene kubaphulaphuli, ngakumbi abaphulaphuli beZiko laseLincoln. Unokuva ukuhleka kwezinye zeengxelo zeLevittown ezivela kubantu abavakala ngathi bakhulele eLong Island.
