毫不夸张地说,品特的舞台演出效果有一大半是通过观众的情感参与来获得的。也许,这便是品特作品引人入胜的地方。观看,阅读过程就像侦察案件一样,人物的言语,服装,行为,道具就是剧作家留下来的种种证据,而观看过程就是一个求证的过程。通过长时间细心摆布这些零星的小碎片才能使一个画面最终成形。当然,也许花上时间和精力后,最后脑子里还是一片空白,又得从零开始,但这也许便是品特从1950年代开始创作至今在剧场里一直长久不衰的秘诀所在。 It is no exaggeration to say that more than half of Pinter’s stage performance was achieved through the emotional engagement of the audience. Perhaps this is a fascinating place for Pinter’s work. Viewing and reading are just like reconnaissance cases. Words, costumes, behaviors and props of characters are the evidences left behind by dramatists. The viewing process is a process of confirmation. Through a long period of careful planning of these sporadic pieces in order to make a picture of the final shape. Of course, maybe after spending some time and energy, the last thought is still blank, starting from scratch. However, this may be the secret that Pinter has been perpetuating in the theater since its creation in the 1950s.
