102、Theater Critic:The play La Finestrina,now at Central Theater,was written in Italy in the eighteenth century.The director claims that this production is as similar to the original production as is possible in a modern theater.Although the actor who plays Harlequin hte clown gives a performace very reminiscent of the twentierrh-century Ameriacan comedian Groucho Marx,Marx's comic style was very much within the comic acting tradition that had begun in sixteenth-cenury Italy.
The considerations given best serve as part of an argument that
A.modern audiences would find it hard to tolerate certain characteristics lf a historically accurate performance of an eighteenth-century play
B.Groucho Marx once performed the part of the character Harlequin in La Finestrina
C.in the United States the training of actors in the twentieth century is based on principles that do not differ radically from those that underlay the training of actors in eighteenth century Italy
D.the performance of the actor who plays Harelequin in La Finestrina does not serve as evidence against the director's claim
E.the director of La Finestrina must have advised the actor who plays Harlequin to model his performance on comic performaces of Croucho Marx作者: tania_zhang 时间: 2010-11-20 21:21
