点评:I can't recommend the John Peel Theatre in Wigton more highly. Its range and quality of shows is brilliant.
I thought I hated Shakespeare, but its production of Romeo & Juliet was so accessible and moving. Its pantomimes and audience-participation murder mysteries are hilarious and raucous. And its been such a treat to discover quirky and thought-provoking plays here, like The Dumb Waiter and Handbagged.
The theatre's also an intimate folk music venue that pulls in incredible acts, such as The Tannahill Weavers, The Haar, and Kathryn Roberts and Sean Lakeman. And every first Friday of the month it hosts a popular Open Mic Night - you'll be amazed at the talent in such a small town.
John Peel Theatre's a charity and tickets for its productions and folk nights are reasonably priced. Open Mic Nights are free and its bar drinks and snacks are excellent value.
Go and see for yourself and help support this amazing community theatre.
翻译:我极力推荐威格顿的约翰·皮尔剧院。这里的演出种类丰富,质量也堪称一流。
我原以为自己讨厌莎士比亚的作品,但这次观看的《罗密欧与朱丽叶》演出却既通俗易懂又感人至深。剧院的童话剧以及需要观众参与的悬疑剧也风趣幽默、热闹非凡。能在这里发现诸如《笨手笨脚的侍者》和《手提包事件》这类独具特色且发人深省的戏剧,真是一种莫大的享受。
此外,这家剧院还是一个氛围亲切的民谣音乐演出场地,经常邀请一些出色的艺人前来表演。比如塔纳希尔织工乐队(The Tannahill Weavers)、The Haar乐队,还有凯瑟琳·罗伯茨与肖恩·莱克曼。每月的第一个周五,这里还会举办备受欢迎的“开放麦之夜”——你会为这样一个小镇上竟有如此多才华横溢的艺人而惊叹不已。
约翰·皮尔剧院是一家慈善机构,其演出和民谣之夜的门票价格十分亲民。“开放麦之夜”更是免费入场。剧院酒吧提供的饮品与小吃也物超所值。
不妨亲自去体验一下,为支持这家出色的社区剧院出一份力吧。
