188.The repertory theater

188.储备剧院

There was a repertory theater group that wanted to create a renaissance or renewal of classical theater. It was their goal to replicate the plays of the ancient Greek and Roman traditions. Their first step was to find a rental theater that was a replica of the Greek and Roman style. They hunted for a long time before they could find one that was rentable and one for which the rent was renewable. Then they had to renovate the theater, which involved reorienting the stage and replenishing the theater with the appropriate equipment. The entire renovation lasted several months. Their second step was to develop a repertoire that would faithfully render classical drama to the audience, yet broad enough to avoid repetition. Their first play was Isodius, a play about a young warrior prince who, after having repelled his enemies on the battlefield, was renounced by his father the king. Upon his renunciation, he was so humiliated that he proceeded to rend his clothing in shame. The king, realizing his mistake, took on an attitude of repentance, and renewed a vow of devotion to his son. After the theater group's first performance, they received reviews such as "The theater group's rendering of Isodius if faithful to a tee," and "The newest rendition of Isodius brought the house down." Not only did they receive rave reviews, but the attendance to each performance was such that the repertory group received a handsome remuneration as well.

有一个储备剧团试图复兴和更新古典剧目，其主要目标是复制古希腊和古罗马的传统戏剧。他们的第一步就是寻找一家出租剧院，这家剧院应该具有希腊和罗马风格，甚至可以说是希腊罗马风格的复制品。他们寻找了很长一段时间，最后终于找到了一家可出租的剧院，而且其租金也是可延期的。接下来的工作就是修复这家剧院了，要重新确定舞台的方向，还要给剧院补充合适的装备，这项革新工作花费了好几个月的时间。第二步就是建立一个储备库，以确保能给观众提供各种各样、题材广泛而没有重复的古典剧。上演的第一个剧目是《伊索荻斯》，讲的是战争时期一个年轻王子千辛万苦把敌人击退以后，他的父王却宣布他必须放弃王位的故事。在父王宣布终止他的王位继承权以后，王子倍感耻辱，羞愧地把衣服都撕碎了。最后，国王意识到了自己所犯的错误，表现出悔恨的姿态，并重新立誓以表示了对儿子的爱。这出剧首场演出后，他们接到了各种各样的评论，有的说"剧团对于《伊索荻斯》一剧的表现真是丝丝入扣、入木三分，"还有的说"《伊索荻斯》的最新演出赢得了满堂喝彩。"他们不仅获得了热烈的好评，而且场场演出爆满，同时也取得了丰厚的报酬。
