UMary-Louise Parker kunye noWill Hochman kwi Isandi ngaphakathi .UJeremy Daniel Isigwebo sifakwe kwingqondo yam ukusukela oko ndandiqala ukujonga uAdam Rapp phantse kwiminyaka engama-20 eyadlulayo: I-Steinway yayitshatelwe kwikona njenge-gland emnyama enkulu. Kutheni oko? Zininzi izinto ezothusayo, imifanekiso ethandekayo epakishwe kuyo Ebusuku , imveliso yakhe yokuqala enkulu (eNew York Theatre Workshop), kodwa enye yabambelela. Ebusuku Yayingumbono otyhafisayo, oyimbongi owahanjiswa nguDallas Roberts. Umbalisi wayo akanamandla, unoveli odandathekileyo kunye nowayengumdlali wepiyano owayeneminyaka eli-17 ubudala, ngempazamo wanqumamisa udade wabo ngemoto yakhe. Kwiminyaka kamva, emva kokuba usapho lwakhe luye lwahlukana, umbhali ubuyela e-Illinois kunye noyise owayengasahlali naye, obulawa ngumhlaza wamatyhalarha. Rapp ifikelela kwizithako ezifanayo-isifo, uncwadi, ukungasebenzi ngokwesondo, uloyiko olukhoyo-ukwenza Isandi ngaphakathi Intsomi emnandi malunga nendlela ababhali abaphila ngayo-kwaye balibale ukuhlala.
Ukuya kwi-Rapp's Broadway debut (ubuqhetseba kwathatha iminyaka eli-19!), Ndazifumana ndiqhekeza izafobe zakhe kunye nezifaniso ze-cockeyed (umfazi ubona indoda encinci: Umahluko wethu wobudala ufana nembiza enkulu yentsimbi exhonywe eluphahleni.) ebephosile ubukrwada obunamehlo aphambeneyo kwilizwi lakhe lobubhali, ukuxhonywa kokuthandana kwama-greats: UFaulkner, uBalzac, uSalinger kunye namanye amagama afanelekileyo ahlolwe nge-irony-free gusto. Isandi ngaphakathi ayisiyiyo idrama yakho eqhelekileyo, eqhutywa yincoko; sisimemo se-elliptical esilawulwa sisincoko esibhaliweyo esonwabisayo-siyayolisa ngeprosody yayo entle, kodwa kunye nokuzigweba, kuphawula umgama abawugcinayo abalinganiswa babo ebomini. Oko kuvakala ngathi kukubhala, sisilungiso esilungeleleneyo sabalinganiswa bomdlalo-uprofesa waseYale oyintsomi kunye nomnye wabafundi bakhe bonyaka wokuqala-banikezana ngamaxesha ahlukeneyo kwindawo. Kwenye yezona ndawo zintle zokuchukumisa ezona zintle, umlawuli uDavid Cromer unonjingalwazi ophazamisayo ingxelo yakhe yokubhala amabinzana amahle kwiphedi yomthetho. Yonke le ntsebenzo ivela, ngokungathi kunjalo, isuka kuloo pad kunye nowasetyhini, kwinqanaba elikhulu eligutyungelwe zizithunzi (ngobuchule zityholwa ngumyili wezikhanyiso uHeather Gilbert). Yonke into esiyivayo nesiyibonayo ixhomekeke kwimithetho yeentsomi.
Isandi ngaphakathi uziva, ubuncinci kum, njengokubuyela ekhaya kuRapp, obhale ngaphezulu kweshumi elinambini lemisebenzi yesimbo esahluka-hlukeneyo kunye nomxholo kumashumi eminyaka angenelelayo (ndingasathethi ke iinoveli kunye nemidlalo-skrini). Kufana naxa ndandikwi Studio Studio 54 ngaxeshanye ndibukele Ebusuku ngamandla afanayo. Ndilingwa kakhulu ukuba ndongeze kwilonda leminyaka. Nceda ndixolele. Yiloo nto ukubhala okuhle kunokwenza: Kuyasulela kuwe, kuyaphindaphindeka kuwe, kwenza amagama ayo abe ngawakho. Uhlobo lweeseli zomhlaza ezichazwa nguBella (Parker) esiswini sakhe kwimizuzu elishumi elinesihlanu yokuqala. Kwi-monologue yokuvula ende, uBella uzazisa ngokusebenza ngokukhawuleza. Ungaze utshatile, akukho bantwana, inoveli eyamkelweyo kakuhle kodwa engacacanga, abazali abafileyo, iincwadi ezithandwayo kunye neeklasi. Ngenye imini: Ndaphakama ndaya kwigumbi lokuhlambela ndaza ndaphindeka kabini ngeentlungu. Kwakungathi ndihlatyiwe esiswini ngemela yokuzingela. U-Bella ufunyaniswa enesigaba 2 somhlaza wesisu. Ubomi obuncinci buza kuba buncinci kakhulu.
Ibali libuyela umva ezinye iiveki okanye iinyanga kwaye sidibana noChristopher (Will Hochman), ongomnye wabafundi bakaBella abasandul 'ukubhala, kunye nomnye wabo bangaphambili abanesiphiwo nabanobuchule bokuthetha abangabaphetheyo, kodwa uyabathanda. Ungena eofisini kaBella (ngaphandle kokuqeshwa) kwaye uyaqhubeka nokumcaphukisa-emva koko amthande-ngothando lwakhe oluntsonkothileyo lukaDostoyevsky kunye nendlala yakhe ebonakalayo kulwazi loncwadi. UChristopher unokuba nguGen Z, kodwa uluma njenge-curmudgeon kaGen X, ebeka i-imeyile kunye ne-Twitter kwaye ethukisa ngokuchasene neebaristas ngeentshebe zabo zoMlo Wombutho kunye nevumba lomzimba wobugcisa kunye nezo zibhanxa zeminyango ezindlebeni zazo. Bafana nale Age New, engaboniswanga, iiHobbits ezingacacanga. Rapp ilungile kolu hlobo lwe-baroque invective. Ewe, uChristopher usebenza kwinoveli (enemibala kaPatricia Highsmith) kwaye ke uBella, embindini wolwandiso olomeleleyo lokuyila, ufumanisa ukuba utsalelekile kuphuhliso lwayo.
Okwangoku, unokulindela ukuba isondo liya kukhula phakathi kotitshala kunye nomfundi, kodwa uRapp usikelelekile phambi kwethu. Okanye ungacinga ukuba uBella uza kubamba umbhalo-ngqangi womntwana kwaye awugqithe njengowakhe. Okanye, okoko uChristopher eqhubeka nomsebenzi libali lobuhlobo eliphelela ekubulaleni okungenangqondo, ubundlobongela busemaphikweni. Ngaphandle kokuqhubeka kakhulu, ndonwabile ukunika ingxelo yokuba uRapp usigcina ezinzwaneni zethu ngendlela emtyibilizi kunye necebisayo yokubalisa amabali evula imfihlelo malunga noomatshini abakhohlakeleyo becebo. Kukho ifoto emnyama nomhlophe kwiofisi kaBella, yowasetyhini emi kwindawo yokulima umbona. UChristopher uyayithanda. Kwaye kamva, uyaphawula ukuba inani lomfazi liye lancipha. Uhlala elindele ukuba ikhephu liwe ebaleni lombona. Isihloko somsebenzi wakhe ngu Ukuxoka ukujongana nenkundla yeqhwa . Ngexesha elithile uya kufunyanwa elele phantsi kwikhephu ekhampasini. Ngubani, kufuneka sibuze ukuba ngubani obhalayo?
Ababukeli abangathandekiyo banokuthi Isandi ngaphakathi Libali elifutshane le-gnomic elizenza njengethiyetha, kodwa lingamanzi kakhulu kwaye liyingqokelela, liyasebenza kakhulu, ukuze lifanelwe lolo bizo. (Ndikhe ndayisebenzisa neminye imidlalo ngaphambili.) Ubukho bethu kwigumbi kubalulekile ekuphambeni ngaphandle kwezibakala ezithiwe thaca kuthi, kwaye uCromer uthule, ulungelelwaniso olugqityiweyo lwenzeka ngokucacileyo okucacileyo, kodwa akukho sigqibo kuthi. UChristman kaHochman, onenzondelelo kodwa okwangoku uliphepha elingenanto lolutsha, ukhupha imigca yakhe ebambekayo ngobabalo nohlekiso. Khange ndicinge ukuba ndingamhlonela u-Mary-Louise Parker ngaphezulu kwam, kodwa i-arch, i-awkward Bella yenye yezona zinto zibukhali, ezihlekisayo, kunye neyona midlalo ihleliyo. I-Acerbic, i-detached, kwaye ibuhlungu kakhulu, uBella wakhe ukhumbuza nawuphi na umbhali okanye umthandi weencwadi ukuba kutheni uncwadi luyintuthuzelo yobomi bonke, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha intolongo. Isandi ngaphakathi Ngumzobo oqaqambileyo nothikisayo womntu onokubaleka ekufeni, kodwa ungaze unyanzelwe ukuba ubhale eso sigwebo singayi kuyeka entloko.
