I-Ado eninzi malunga nantoni na.UJoan Marcus Into yokuqala oyibonayo xa ungena kwiDelacorte Theatre luphawu olukhulu olukhulu olufunda i-STACEY ABRAMS 2020, exhonywe kwicala lendlu. Ukuba awukonwabisi ihlobo elitsha likaShakespeare ePakini, oko kufanele ukubeka uncumo ebusweni bakho. Nangona uMdemokhrasi okhuthazayo waseGeorgia engakhange abhengeze ukubaleka kwe-White House, sisenokuphupha. Ngaloo ndlela, umlawuli uKenny Leon kunye nomthandekayo, onobukrakra, bonke abantu base-Afrika baseMelika baphupha ngendlela yabo I-Ado eninzi malunga nantoni na , besenza ubunyani be-Shakespeare rom-com eyabo, kwaye ngaloo ndlela beyihambisa kuthi behlaziyekile kwaye behlekisa kunokuba ndikhumbula kwiminyaka.
Ngaphezulu kwale nguqulelo yeengoma ezivela kuMarvin Gaye's What's Going On? fumana ikratshi lendawo. UDanielle Brooks, odlala u-singleton onamandla uBeatrice, ungena ngentsasa entle kwaye ucula i-balla ye-1971 echukumisayo kubahlobo nakwizihlobo ezihlanganisene nepatio engezantsi. Inqaku elibuhlungu lokuqalisa umdlalo ohlekisayo, kodwa ulifanela ibali elixubana ne-melancholy kunye ne-giddiness, i-misogyny kunye ne-romantic idealism, kunye nelungelo lobuphathamandla kunye nabasetyhini njengabameli bezobulungisa bezenhlalakahle.
Bhalisela iNcwadana yeendaba yoBugcisa
Oku Uninzi lweAdo yenzeka kwihlabathi, elifana nelethu, apho abantu babulawa ngenxa yokuqhuba ngelixa umnyama. UDon Pedro (uBilly Eugene Jones) uguqulwe ukusuka kwinkulungwane ye-16 ye-Sicilian aristocrat waba yinkokheli ye-Black Lives Matter militia e-South South, ehamba ngokumisa ibambe imiqondiso yoqhankqalazo. U-Pedro kunye namajoni akhe bafika kwilifa lenkosi esisityebi uLeonato (u-Chuck Cooper, ophethe ngobundlobongela), onentombi yakhe uHero (uMargaret Odette) ebamba iliso lokumosha uClaudio (uJeremie Harris). Enye indoda kwinkonzo kaPedro, i-braggart e-swaggering Benedick (Grantham Coleman) iphinda iqale imfazwe yayo eyonwabileyo nomtshana kaLeonato uBeatrice, utshintshiselwano oluqhubekayo lwezithuko zomlomo kunye nokungahloneli mtshato.
Ngomlinganiso weShakespearean symmetry, iyelenqe liqhutywa ziinkqubo ezimbini zenkohliso, enye iyadlala kwaye inethemba, enye inenzondo kwaye inetyhefu. Ngaphambili, uPedro kunye nabahlobo bakhe benza iyelenqe lokwenza u-Beatrice kunye no-Benedick bacinge, ngokwahlukeneyo, ukuba ngamnye uyathandana nomnye (ukuhleba okungeyonyani ukuba bakuve). Nje ukuba imbewu ityalwe, iingxabano zethu nabantu abangabathandi ziba nzima kwaye zikhawuleze. Enye inkohliso ixhomekeke kwingcinga yesini yokuba abantu basetyhini ngoonongogo, commonsense ngexesha likaBard kodwa kuyingxaki namhlanje. Umntakwabo kaPedro, uDon John (Hubert Point-Du Jour), utyhola uHero ngokuziphatha kakubi ebusweni bukaClaudio, kwaye umema yena noDon Pedro ukuba babone ubungqina. I-henchman kaJohn yenza uthando komnye wabakhonzi bakaHero phantsi kobumnyama, ngaloo ndlela ukhohlisa uClaudio ukuba acinge ukuba uthando lwakhe aluyonyani.
Xa uClaudio ehlazisa esidlangalaleni uHero ngomhla womtshato wabo, embeka njengongathembekanga kwaye ephosa intombazana ekhalayo emhlabeni, uShakespeare ubeka umqobo omkhulu ekuguquleni le ndaba imbi ibe yenye yokuxolela nothando. UMlawuli uLeon kunye nabalingisi baphatha le nto inamaqhinga ngokunyaniseka, ukuthembeka okunzulu kwethambo. NjengoHero otyholwa ngobuxoki, u-Odette akayithathi ngokungathandabuzekiyo, kodwa ibhulukhwe kunye nokugcuma, okwenziwe kukothuka kunye nomsindo, ukulungele ukukrazula intloko yomntu. Njengokuba umfazi enokuthi abe ne-arhente kule meko, okanye ubuncinci abonise umntu olungileyo, owomeleleyo owenze into engalunganga, u-Odette uyenza kakuhle.
I-Brooks ayinamandla kangako, i-dynamo yamahlaya yendlela yokuqala ephatha ngokulula iimfuno zomlomo kunye ne-slapstick yendima. Njengokuba esiva amantombazana athandana nawo encokola ngendlela uBenedick axhonywe ngayo, I-Orenji nguMnyama oMnyama Umdlali weqonga ugqashula hilarious phezulu nasezantsi kubaphulaphuli, ehleli emathangeni, phantsi kwemathanga, eqengqele isitayile somyalelo engceni ngenjongo yokujonga. Ubonakala emangalisa kwii-frock zala maxesha zikaEmilio Sosa, kwaye elo lizwi lityebileyo, elinelivelive likwenza udangele (ukuba uthe waphoswa ngumsebenzi wakhe ngokulinganayo Umbala oMfusa ).
Andikhumbuli ukuba imveliso kaShakespeare yonke indima ibibonakala iphoswe ngenkathalo kunye nenjongo, xa ibhentshi yayinzulu. UColeman ka-Benedick uguqula ngokuhlekisayo ukusuka kwi-lady-dissing playa ukuya kwi-lovestruck troubadour (ukuzama ukuphinda enze enye yeJason Michael Webb, iingoma zokuqala kwikatala). UJones 'Pedro womelele kodwa ugcobile, ukubonakaliswa okungakumbi kunye novelwano kunokuba uhlala ubona. Nditsho noThrone Mitchell Henderson ocinga ngokukhawuleza uFriar Francis unesimo esingxamisekileyo sokuziphatha kwaye akanalo uninzi lweenguqulelo. Kuyinyani, izigcawu ezinamapolisa angakwaziyo ukusebenza iDogberry (uLateefah Holder) zinokuba yinto ehlekisayo (zihlala zinako), kodwa ubuncinci ziyakhawuleza kuzo ngokukhawuleza.
U-Leon uqondisa wonke umcimbi ngobunewunewu obuninzi kunye nendlebe emnandi kumculo wombhalo wokuqala -kwaye nokufumana iindawo zokufaka iingoma zangoku: iGaye, iculo leendaba ezilungileyo Precious Lord, bass-heavy, bleacher-shaking party jam, iingoma zothando, kunye nothando olunomphefumlo, olubuhlungu lukaThixo Sikelela iMelika. Yile ndlela uShakespeare ePaki kufuneka abe ngayo. Kwenzekantoni? U-Brooks ubuza. Elona theko lingaphandle lijikeleze.
