「工作改進組織」 (Works
Progress Administration，WPA) 閉幕演出馬克白
1936年7月25日
歐爾森‧威爾斯在21歲的時候為馬克白發展出一套嶄新的表現方式。他請非裔美人來演出劇中的所有角色，並且把故事背景從蘇格蘭改為加勒比海地區，並且把巫師的角色改為海地的巫醫。評論家認為表演結果相當「令人驚嘆」、「很棒」，以及「色彩豐富」。你知到為什麼威爾斯要改變整齣劇作的情節安排嗎？你覺得這會讓這齣戲劇更有趣，或者會賦予其不同的意義呢？
Orson Welles, just twenty-one at the time, created a brand new approach for this production. He cast African American actors in all the roles, moved the play's setting from Scotland to the Caribbean, and changed the witches to Haitian witch doctors. Critics called the results "startling," "splendid," and "colorful." Can you think of why Welles might have wanted to change the setting of the play? Do you think it made it the play more interesting or gave it a different meaning?
