==========================================
南龙--电工学士,醉心艺术,在艺术学院专研表演艺术。
他的失魂落魄 般的小紧张不稳定,正合了傻乎乎的“太守”个性。想不到昨晚首演他没忘胡子也没忘词--倒是老演员忘了一句台词--他还能接上!
==========================================
一对九百年前有奸情的男女,不惜谋亲夫、强夺孩子。。。
关淑媚,能歌善舞,来自广西实验话剧团。表演经验非常丰富,将一个心狠手辣、为爱情不顾一切的贵妇人演得入木三分。。。
她的情人--太守的师爷“赵令史”来自印度的SAJEEY PILLAI是个工程学士,演过莎士比亚话剧,在纽约戏剧学院受训。他将一个好色贪财、无情无义、知法犯法的小官演得妙不可言又非常自然,是全场的笑星和亮点。

Joanna Chan, Artistic Director of Yangtze Repertory Theater of America, has adapted "The Chalk Circle" by Li QianFu into a multilingual play with arias in the style of Cantonese Opera. This 13th century Yuan dynasty Chinese classical Zaju verse story is primarily known in the West as the inspiration of Brecht's "Caucasian Chalk Circle." It recounts a celebrated court case of Judge Bao of the Song Dynasty, a magistrate who stood above the corruption of his time and is still revered throughout the Chinese speaking world for his wisdom and fairmindedness. Yangtze Repertory Theater of America will present the world premiere of the adaptation, directed by Chan, May 3 to 20 at Theater for the New City, 155 First Avenue, NYC. The production will star Mr. Denver Chiu (of Hong Kong) in the female role of the heroine, performing her arias in Cantonese Opera style. He is credited with having single-handedly revived the art form of men playing female roles in Cantonese Opera, which has been absent from the world stage for over 60 years. The arias have lyrics and choreography by Chen ShaoMei (of GuangZhou, China). The play will be performed in English, Mandarin and Cantonese with Chinese and English supertitles.
