The Fantastic Francis Hardy!
|
|
"The writing is beautiful, supple, rhythmical, charged with the slow, sure throb of despair and enchantment...Brian Friel is the most profound and poetic of contemporary Irish dramatists "
「文筆優雅、富節奏感，滲透著強烈絕望感和魅力……布萊恩・費爾是當代愛爾蘭最深刻而具詩意的劇作家」
- The Observer 觀察家報
The fantastic Francis Hardy works his magic, curing the sick and giving strength to the weak. His powers are real. Or so he says, and sometimes believes. He can tell you of nights when miracles were conjured as fast as he could place his touch. But that was long ago and his powers are far less reliable these days. More of a mystery now is why his embittered wife and hapless manager still put such faith in him after all that’s happened.
Presented in four monologues, the three characters – Frank, Grace and Teddy – shed light on events that eventually lead to tragedy. With its mythic resonance and drama of Gaelic folklore, Faith Healer is considered to be Irish playwright Brian Friel’s masterpiece, where characters take turns wrestling with the past, proving that memory can be as unreliable, and as contradictory, as faith.
法蘭克 (Frank Hardy) 擁有救助病弱的神奇天賦，這種能力千真萬確，至少他有時如此相信。他會對他所作的奇蹟侃侃而談，縱然那都是陳年舊事——此刻他的能力已大不如前。撲朔迷離的是，他那牢騷滿腹的妻子和不幸的經紀人在這樣的情況下，仍然對他寄予厚望。
四段獨白，三個角色，緩緩地揭起悲劇的序幕。《神醫》被譽為愛爾蘭劇作家布萊恩・費爾的經典之作，充滿蘇格蘭蓋爾群族民間傳說的神秘色彩與戲劇張力。三個角色分別憶述過去，見證著主觀記憶一如信仰，既不可靠又充滿矛盾。
