Ngokwesiqhelo izinto ezingenzi nzuzo ze-Off-Broadway ezingenzi nzuzo ezinje nge-Playwrights Horizons ezibalaseleyo- ukufumanisa imidlalo ye-wacko ngababhali abakhohlisayo abazityeshela izithethe ezibalisayo, abenzi ngqondo kwaye bashiye abaphulaphuli bethe nqa-le yindawo yemidlalo yeqonga enesibindi sokuphila. Yintoni eyatsala iprojekhthi evumayo enje ngoDavid Hyde Pierce ukuba avele kuyo yinto yokucinga yomntu.
Udlala indoda eyintombazana egama linguNate, esebenza kwindawo efileyo njengomfundi ofunda ubungqina kwiarhente yentengiso esisidenge. UNate wahlukana nesithandwa sakhe, kwaye ngoku ulahlekelwa sisifundo sokuvumisa ngeenkwenkwezi ukuze afumanise okungahambi kakuhle. Kwiminyaka ye-30 wayehlala eRhode Island kwigumbi elinendawo yokwenza iinwele kumgangatho wokuqala. Kulapho ke waphulukana nokholo kuyo yonke into, kwaye umfazi owayephethe ivenkile wenza itshathi yakhe, eqikelela ukuba uza kudibana nomntu okhethekileyo. Kwiiveki ezimbini kamva, wafumana ikhadi elitsha letyala, abazali bakhe bamnika imoto, wadibana nenkwenkwe yaseJamani eyayinguLeo. Kodwa konke oko kudlulileyo kwaye ubomi bakhe bube netanki. Kwinto esisiseko seyure enye, uNate uthetha ngokusilela kwakhe, ebhala amanqaku kuluhlu lwezinto eziza kwenziwa kwaye abonakalise izinto ezenzeke kuye ezingafanelekanga ukuba zenziwe yinja kodwa xa ujonga emva akubonakali iyinto engaqhelekanga . Ngamanye amaxesha ukhupha i-horoscope yakhe kwaye athethe malunga neempawu zakhe ezikhulayo nokuba kuthetha ntoni konke oko.
Umdlalo… umalunga nomntu olahlekileyo olilolo ekhangela uthando kwaye angaze alufumane. Yintoni enye entsha? Esi sisiXeko saseNew York.
U-Hyde Pierce akanamdla njengoko egxotha i-litany yemingxunya yobomi kunye neembandezelo, kubandakanya ubudlelwane obuninzi obungaphumelelanga namadoda, iinkolo kunye nonyango lwamaqela. Kwaye ke umdlalo, ngu-Adam Bock, umalunga nomntu olahlekileyo onesizungu efuna uthando kwaye angaze alufumane. Yintoni enye entsha? Esi sisiXeko saseNew York. Kodwa ukubhala kuyabetha kwaye i-atonal kunqabile ukuba kubandakanye umphulaphuli, ngaphandle kwenkwenkwezi ehlekisayo, indlela engafanelekanga yokuthetha izinto ezikwenza uncume. Uhlala enendlela engaqhelekanga yokujonga ngokungacacanga ngaphambili ngeempendulo ezibonakala ngathi zomhlaba kunye nomzuzu-ngomzuzwana ngendalo. Ngelishwa, oku kukhokelela ekuhambeni ngokuthe ngqo okubulalayo phantsi kolawulo olucocekileyo luka-Anne Kauffman olubonakala ngathi lubhekise esihogweni ngokubeka abaphulaphuli ebuthongweni. Emva koko, wham! UNate uphindaphindwe entlungwini kwaye uwa esixhotyeni kwindawo yokuhlala phantsi, apho ahlala khona, engashukumi, kuba kubonakala ngathi yimizuzu emihlanu okanye elishumi, kwaye angaze aphinde athethe. Izibane ziyehla, iseti ijike ijonge ecaleni, kwaye ilanga lakusasa lingena ngefestile. U-Hyde Pierce uhlala emgangathweni amehlo akhe evaliwe. Izibane ziyehla kwakhona kwaye kusebusuku. Akukho nto. Oku kuqhubeka kwinqanaba lekhefu elibonakala lihlala ngonaphakade. Abaphulaphuli bayaduma. Ngaba umdlali ufile?
Hayi, kodwa umlinganiswa. Kwaye kunjalo nokudlala. IiParamedics zingena kwaye zimfaka engxoweni yomzimba, zincokola ngezinto ezingaphezulu. Ekugqibeleni, u-Hyde Pierce ulaliswe ze kwi-slab emakhazeni ngelixa abancedisi bezonyango bemlungiselela ukungcwatyelwa kwe-casket evulekileyo ngelixa besebenzisana ne-sillier banter ngelixa besika iinzipho zakhe, besika iinwele zempumlo, bacheba ubuso bakhe kwaye befaka isicelo umlomo womlomo. Isiphelo.
Ubomi ayenzi nokuba ibe nye ikhotha yengqiqo. Yimizuzu engama-85 kuphela ngaphandle kokuphumla kodwa kubonakala ngathi yiveki ekusebenzeni nzima. Ngowona mdlalo mbi kakhulu endikhe ndasokola kuwo ukususela kusithixo isiqwenga sobubi esibizwa ngokuba Ukuba ukhona andikayifumani okwangoku nguHack Payne, owaveliswa ngo-2012 yiNkampani ejikelezayo yeTheatre kwaye waphawula inqanaba laseMelika likaJake Gyllenhaal. Akazange asindise loo turkey, kwaye uDavid Hyde Pierce akakwazi ukuyigcina le. Ndihlala ndimfumana enomdla kwaye enomdla, kodwa nokuba ngumdlali weqonga ongaqhelekanga ufuna umdlalo olungileyo. Imfusa kwaye ibhityile, yaza yafunxa lonke igazi, ujongeka njengendoda echithe iminyaka ingayinanzi ingcebiso yesondlo esifanelekileyo.
