点评:Went to Old New Gate Prison & Copper Mine last night for the performance of The Slippery Truth by Plays in Place productions starring Craig Pinder who was truly excellent. The location is really cool. If you want to learn about the history of the location and really get an in depth look at the mine/prison you should go during open hours in the daytime. The performance is dedicated to the story. It doesn’t give the history of the prison. If you don’t go during the day however not to worry. The production took the entire location into account and you have the opportunity through the performance to see each portion of the location briefly and take in the beautiful view to the west. You really get a sense of the conditions the prisoners lived in adding important context to the performance. Remember to wear sneakers so the slick and uneven conditions inside the mine are easier to navigate. Flashlights are provided. It was overall a nice and easy night out at an important historical location in CT.
翻译:昨晚我去了旧新门监狱及铜矿场,观看了由Plays in Place制作公司出品的戏剧《滑溜的真相》。克雷格·平德担任主演,他的表演实在出色至极。这个地方真的超酷的。如果你想了解这里的历史并深入参观这座监狱/矿井,最好在白天的开放时段前往。这场演出是围绕相关故事展开的,并不会讲述监狱的历史。不过,即便你没在白天去也无需担心。这次演出充分考虑到了整个场地的特点,观众可以通过表演短暂地领略场地的各个区域,同时欣赏到西面壮丽的景色。演出还能让观众切实体会到囚犯们当时的生存环境,从而为整个表演增添重要的背景信息。请务必穿着运动鞋,这样在矿井内湿滑且崎岖不平的地面上行走会更方便。现场会提供手电筒。总的来说,在康涅狄格州这个具有重要历史意义的地点度过了一个愉快又轻松的夜晚。
