舞台劇Drama《戲裡戲外看戲班》(BACKSTAGE)

劇情Synopsis
一個發生在戲班後台的舞台劇,演員相繼上台開始化妝穿戴,包括踩蹻的花旦、穿大靠(有四支旗的將軍戲服)的文武生、開臉的孫悟空及掛鬍子的鬚生,期間有一位不懂粵語的華裔年輕記者來到後台每事問,監製解答之時後台亦妙趣橫生。又有一位老藝人進來,被誤會是樂師替工,先與幾名樂師一起彈奏,他與吹口、絃樂、敲擊的樂師一起合奏排練開場曲。孫悟空的演員練習耍棍,正當他與將軍的演員綵排開打場口時,花旦爭著綵排趕雞這些虛擬的戲曲動作,鬚生也在綵排封相的坐車展示鬚功。開鑼在即,所有人趕往虎度門準備出場。那老藝人獨個兒環顧四周,緬懷一番…是懷舊的喜悅?是退隱的不捨?百感交雜中唱起一首「南音」。眾人陸續返回後台,陶醉在他柔和動聽的歌聲裡,如夢初醒才驚覺眼前這位被誤以為是樂師替工的老藝人原來是移民到了這城市逾三十年的大名鼎鼎前輩老倌。
This is a story that takes place in an English-speaking country at the backstage of a Cantonese opera troupe. The performance is about to start, and artists are getting ready for the show. A young foreign-born Chinese reporter who does not speak Cantonese is visiting the troupe in the backstage. She sees the Monkey King rehearsing a combat scene with the leading actor who is dressed in dazzling military costumes. The leading actress shows her stylized movement in her three-inch tiny shoes. The beard man who shows his technique with his long beard…the reporter is curious and puzzled by all these. The producer answers all her queries which are from the angle of the audience. At the same time, an aged artist steps into the backstage and is mistaken as a substitute musician. He rehearses with other musicians. As the show starts, everybody leaves the backstage for the performance. The aged artist remains in the backstage alone and reminisces his past as he sings a “Nanyin” (a particular soft style in Cantonese music). When all artists come back to the backstage, they then realise this old gentleman is a retired renowned Cantonese opera star who immigrated here over thirty years ago…
