Arms and the Man - George Bernard Shaw
نمایشنامه‌ی کمیک باحالی بود که ایده‌آلیسم و قهرمان‌‌پروری و جنگ رو به زیبایی به تمسخر گرفته بود.
Nicola: Yes. That's the secret of success in service.
Louka - maid: No, sir.
Sergius: Very fatiguing thing to keep up for any length of time, Louka. One feels the need of some relief after it.
Bluntschli: That's the Swiss national character, dear lady.
Bluntschli: Eh?
Sergius: You have deceived me. You are my rival. I brook no rivals. At six o'clock I shall be in the drilling-ground on the Klissoura road, alone, on horseback, with my sabre. Do you understand?
Bluntschli: Oh, thank you, that's a cavalry man's proposal. I'm in the artillery, and I have the choice of weapons. If I go, I shall take a machine gun. And there shall be no mistake about the cartridges this time.
Raina: How could I?
Bluntschli: Ah, perhaps not - of course not. Well, it's a funny sight. It's like slinging a handful of peas against a window pane: first one comes, then two or three close behind him and then all the rest in a lump.
Raina: [in rapture] Yes, the first one! - the bravest of the brave!
Bluntschli: Hm! you should see the poor devil pulling at his horse.
Raina: Why should he pull at his horse?
Bluntschli: [impatient of such a silly question] It's running away with him, of course! Do you suppose the fellow wants to get there before the others and be killed?
Bluntschli: No, but it doesn't matter. I didn't ask the reason when you cried on and I don't ask the reason now that you cry off. I'm a professional soldier. I fight when I have to and am very glad to get out of it when I haven't to. You're only an amateur; you think fighting's an amusement.
Sergius: You shall hear the reason all the same, my professional. The reason is that it takes two men - real men - men of heart, blood and honor - to make a genuine combat. I could no more fight with you than I could make love to an ugly woman. You've no magnetism: you're not a man, you're a machine.
Bluntschli: [apologetically] Quite true, quite true. I always was that sort of chap. I'm very sorry.
Raina: [to Bluntschli] You hear this man calling me names, Captain Bluntschli?
Bluntschli: What else can he do, dear lady? He must defend himself somehow.
The Enemy of the People - Henric Ibsen
این اوّلین نمایشی بود که از ایبسن گوش می‌دادم. اجرا بسیار زیبا بود. باید بشینم و فیلمش رو هم ببینم.
تحصین کردنی و زیبا بود. به ظرافت همراه با قهرمان قصّه ما رو با فساد و زوالی که سرتاپای جامعه‌ی اطرافمون رو گرفته آشنا می‌کرد. حمله‌ای بزرگ به دموکراسی.
| A community is like a ship; everyone ought to be prepared
to take the helm. An Enemy of the People Billing, Act 1. |
| The most dangerous enemy of truth and freedom is our society
is the compact majority. Yes, the damned, compact, liberal majority. An Enemy of the People Dr. Stockmann, Act 4. |
| The majority is never right. Never, I tell you! That's one
of these lies in society that no free and intelligent man can
help rebelling against. Who are the people that make up the
biggest proportion of the population - the intelligent ones
or the fools? I think we can agree it's the fools, no matter
where you go in this world, it's the fools that form the overwhelming
majority. An Enemy of the People Dr. Stockmann, Act 4. |
| The minority is always right. An Enemy of the People Dr. Stockmann, Act 4. |
| You should never wear your best trousers when you go out to
fight for freedom and truth. An Enemy of the People Dr. Stockmann, Act 5. |
| The strongest man in the world is he who stands most alone. An Enemy of the People Dr. Stockmann, Act 5. |

The Winter's Tale - Shakespiere - GreyStone Thatre
علیرغم اینکه همیشه اجراهای بچه های دانشگاه بسیار عالی بود این یکی به دلم ننشست. دستکاری لباس ها و آوردنشون به دهه‌ی شصت. تغییر نقشای مردونه به زنونه بدون در نظر گرفتن تغییرات کافی، بعضی بازی های نسبتا ضعیف از مشکلاتش بودن. ولی به هر حال شکسپیر بود و شنیدنی و دیدنی.
نمی دونم شاید هم تمام این عیب و ایرادا به حال خراب من برگرده.
Shining City by Conor Mcpherson - Persephone Theatre
بازی در نقش جان توسط Robert Benz یکی از زیباترین بازی هایی بود که تو عمرم دیدم. تو لحظه های آخر سکانس دوم صحبت‌هاش با روانپزشک درباره‌ی‌اینکه چه طور با زنش رفتار کرده بود دیگه طاقت نیاوردم. اشکام سرازیر شدن و تمام وجودم تو خودش پیچید.
The Fiddler and The Drum- Alberta Ballet - TCU Place
تجربه‌ی متفاوتی بود. اولین باله ای که می دیدم و داستان یگانه ای را روایت نمی کرد بلکه بر اساس ترانه های مجزایی ساخته شده بود.
