Usually when you go to see a play, you’re 1)anonymous, part of a crowd. The actors can’t see you in the dark. You could even 2)nap for a moment, they’d never know. But none of that is true in the type of theatre we’re going to hear about next.
　　It takes place in small spaces for small audiences, sometimes as small as one.
　　Actor: (Acting) Hey, you wanna see something? Or not really like see it. More like hear it, feel it...
　　Reporter: This is a scene from a short play staged recently in New York’s Times Square. One actor faces one audience member in a red, 3)plush booth about the size of an office 4)cubicle. The project is called Theatre for One and its creator is Christine Jones.
　　Christine Jones: As an audience member, you are seen by the actor and your actions and the choices that you’re making are part of the 5)equation. It’s almost like a first date. Your 6)gestures, your response will have an effect on how the performance goes. And I think the actors feel that keenly.
　　


　　


　　新型私人剧院
　　通常当你去看戏时，你只是淹没在众多观众当中的普通一员。演员看不到黑暗当中的你。即使你打个盹，他们也不会发现。但这一切都不会发生在以下我们将要说到的剧院中。
　　剧院很小，观众也很少，有时甚至只有一个观众。
　　演员：（表演中）嘿，你想看些什么吗？或者是不太想看，而更想去听，去感觉……
　　记者：这是最近在纽约的时代广场上演的一出短剧的其中一幕。一位演员面对一个观众，观众坐在红色的如同办公室隔间大小的舒适包厢中。这种“私人剧院”的创意来自克里斯汀·琼斯。
　　克里斯汀·琼斯：作为观众，你的举止动作都被台上的演员看得很清楚，你也成了表演的一部分。这就像人们第一次约会。你的姿势和反应都会直接影响演员的表演。我想演员可以强烈体会到这一点。
