UJoe Mantello, uSally Field kunye noFinn Wittrock Iglasi Menagerie. Ifoto ngeJulieta Cervantes Hayi, abayi kuqhushumbisa indlela engaphantsi komhlaba phantsi kweBelasco Theatre. Ingxolo oyivayo sisandi sikaTennessee Williams oswelekileyo, ejika engcwabeni lakhe malunga nokuzenzisa kuka Sam Sam Gold kumdlalo wakhe omkhulu wokukhumbula, Iglasi Menagerie. Olunye uvavanyo lokuzikhukhumeza oluvela endodeni ekholelwa ukuba akukho dlala ifanelwe ukuthanjiswa njengeklasikhi ngaphandle kokuba inokuqhaqhaqhaqhawulwa kwaye ifakwe kumatshini ohlukileyo kwimveliso eyahlukileyo ukuze yahluke. Uyenza ngalo lonke ixesha abanye efumana iqela lezidenge eziphakamisa imali ukuze limnike iblackche. Ndisaxengaxenga kwimveliso yakhe Jonga emva ngomsindo Apho, ukubonisa umbono wakhe wendlela a Umfana Onomsindo uhlala ngayo eLondon Osmartne, wanyanzela abadlali ukuba batyibilike kwaye bakhase kwindawo ebekiweyo yenkunkuma elahliweyo nokutya okubolileyo. Ngeli xesha umntu ogama linguAndrew Lieberman unikwe iseti, ngokukhanyisa nguAdam Silverman, oyisikratshi entloko, kuba akukho seti kwaphela, isigaba nje esingenanto esineetafile zentsimbi kunye nezitulo ezine ezibi, ezingonwabisiyo zeorenji ngokuchasene udonga lwezitena oluhamba ze ngasemva kwiproscenium, kwaye uninzi lomdlalo lwenzeka ebumnyameni kangangokuba ungaboni okwenzekayo kwisiqingatha sexesha (intsikelelo efihlakeleyo). Ihluthwe imibongo yayo, ubutyebi beengoma zombhali wemidlalo waseMelika omkhulu bancitshiswa baba yingqushu yamagama avakala ngokungathi uyoyisile. Kwivesi ethi Ndibhabhelele eNyangeni, umbhali wengoma uBart Howard ubhale ukuba iiSongs zihlala zisebenzisa amagama amaninzi ukuthetha into elula. Kule mvuselelo engenamakhonkco ebanzi, igama elinye lithetha konke: kuyenyanyeka!
Iglasi Menagerie Unokuchazwa ngumbhali njengomdlalo wokukhumbula, akukho nyani iyimfuneko, kodwa andicingi ukuba wayefuna ukuba ibe yinto enje. Ngomkhombandlela ongahambelaniyo kunye nokungakhathali, abadlali abanamphini wokulawula. UAmanda Wingfield, ibhabhathane lesinyithi elinamaphiko acocekileyo ngokusekwe kunina u-Edwina, udlalwe ngemigangatho eyahlukeneyo yempumelelo ngoobani kumanenekazi okuqala emidlalo yeqonga, aqala ngo-odumileyo uLaurette Taylor kwaye kubandakanya wonke umntu ovela eShirley Booth ukuya kuJessica Tandy, Joanne Woodward kunye noMaureen Stapleton. I-Sally Field, eyijongayo ngoku, ngumlingisi olungileyo onoluhlu oluncinci. Uyasokola ngenkalipho nge-cornucopia ye-accents e-awkward enqabileyo enesandi njengebhanti lase-Mzantsi eliye kwimbewu, kwaye usakhangeleka emncinci kakhulu kwizambatho zala maxesha ezibonisa imilenze yakhe kwaye zimenza abukeke emncinci kakhulu-kunye ne-tulle prom ecekeceke enemibala e-raspberry ingubo emenza abukeke njenge-Flying Nun. Uswele inqwelo kunye negunya lokwenza umama olawulayo abe yindawo ephambili. Kwaye eli lixesha lokuqala embalini u-Amanda eyalelwe ukuba enze ukungena kwakhe okokuqala ngababukeli kunye nezibane ezipheleleyo zendlu, emva koko urhuqe isitulo esinamavili esinzima kwizinyuko kwaye uphakamise intombi yakhe kuso. Ukuba iSally Field ayinayo inkonzo ye-chiropractor kwisivumelwano sakhe, kufuneka amangalele.
Njengonyana wakhe uTom (umfanekiso ocacileyo kaTennessee ngokwakhe, ogama lakhe linguTom), uJoe Mantello, owaziwa kakhulu njengomlawuli weqonga ophucukileyo nonzulu, ufumana uburharha apho ndingazange ndibubone kwimveliso zangaphambili. Enesithukuthezi sokubaleka i-claustrophobia yendlu yakhe yase-St. Louis, uyashukuma kwaye uyahlekisa-esona sityhilelo sinyani sokwenyani kwaye eyona nto ikufutshane kumhlaziyiyo esenza yonke imveliso ayizamayo. Ulilungu elinye labalinganiswa abafezekisa oko bekucetyelwe ngumlawuli, esenza into entsha kunye entsha kumlinganiswa oqhelekileyo. Emva koko kukho ubukho obothusayo bomntu omtsha uMadison Ferris, odlala udadewabo kaTom uLaura njengonqabileyo kunye nesiphene sentlalontle yokwala. Ngokusekwe kuRose udadewabo wokwenyani waseTennessee, uLaura ubhalwe njengentombazana eneentloni, ethe-ethe engenakho ukuzithemba kwaye engenazakhono zentlalo. UFerris umenza abe lusizi, oyikeka ngokungafanelekanga. Ayilotyala lakhe eli. Ukubonisa isteki esibuhlungu kude nokuthopha, uSam Gold kufanele ukuba wayeyithathela ingqalelo kwaye inesibindi sokuphosa umdlali weqonga onexhoba le-muscular dystrophy yokwenene kwindima, kodwa yinto ethandabuzekayo ebuyela umva. Kuba uLaura akakwazi nokuhamba, akusengqiqweni ukuba uAmanda amthumele ngaphandle okanye acinge ukuba uchitha iiyure zakhe echibini lokuchwetheza efunda ukuba ngunobhala. UFerris uyathandeka kwaye uyakwazi, kodwa xa ehamba, uyaziphakamisa ngesisu, umqolo kunye nezandla ezimbini kwaye abanye abadlali kufuneka bamlungele kwisitulo esinamavili. Ndixolele ukuba ayisiyiyo into echanekileyo kwezopolitiko, kodwa ndimfumene umzabalazo ophazamisayo ngokwaneleyo ukuphosa umdlalo wonke. Kumdlali weqonga owazi kakuhle eli inokuba lithuba lakhe lokugqibela ukuphoswa kwindima ephambili kwiBroadway, amava kusenokwenzeka ukuba liphupha. Kubaphulaphuli, yinto eyiphupha.
Ngaphandle kokubaleka umlilo apho uTom anokukhulula umthwalo kwiidrama zakhe zobuqu, atshaye iisigarethi ezingapheliyo, aphephe ukuzingisa okungapheliyo kukanina ngaphambi kokudlulisa ubusuku bakhe kwimiboniso bhanyabhanya, akukho ndlela yokubonisa inkululeko yokuba umbukeli anganxibelelana nayo. Ngaphandle komculo ohamba unyuka usiya kwiholo yomdaniso phesheya kwe-alley, akukho luvo lobomi obunamaphupha awunqwenelayo. Ngapha koko akukho luvo lwexesha, indawo okanye indawo naphi na enika isiseko seTennessee Williams ethandekayo, ithenda yokulangazelela ukushiya iSt. Louis kunye namava obomi ngaphaya komlilo obalekileyo. Akumangalisi ukuba umboniso weGentleman Caller yeyona nto iphambili kwimveliso (edlalwa kakuhle ngedash, ubukrelekrele kunye nobuntu nguFinn Wittrock), kodwa kutheni ibekwe ebumnyameni ngokupheleleyo? Umgca wokugqibela kaTom (Cima ikhandlela zakho, uLaura) akasenako ukudibana kuba uLaura akakwazi nokuwakhanyisela, kungasaphefumlwa.
Into elahlekileyo apha kukucaca kombono kunye nolawulo lwethoni eya kuthi inike lo mnyama, uhlaziyiweyo wohlaziyo ohlaziya isizathu sokuhluka. Ekugqibeleni ukurhwaphiliza kokuzikhukhumeza okunqabileyo kuyaphumelela ngokubhalwa kwengcibi eyincutshe, kwaye uyawuqonda umculo ngolwimi lwaseTennessee Williams ugqwesa wedwa. Iglasi Menageries isinda kwimveliso yentshabalalo engenye inyathelo elinye elisuswe kufundo oludala kunye nolwamileyo. Ubukhulu becala, iyaphuma njengelinge lokubhaka elingenathemba lokutshintsha kunye nokunciphisa ixabiso leklasi yeseminal ngenjongo yokuhluka. Ayisebenzi. UTennessee Williams wahluke ngokwaneleyo.
