Pořád jedna z mých nejoblíbenějších her, tentokrát jsem poslouchala audio zpracování s Kryštofem Hádkem v roli Truffaldina.

2018:
Geniální. ^^

Lee Hall's 1999 adaptation for an RSC/Young Vic Theatre Company production is so annoyingly UK-centric that I was constantly pushed out of the world of the play. The names and locales are the only remaining traces of the play's Italian heritage. Filled with English colloquialisms and idioms, the language honors neither the spirit of the original nor Goldoni himself and many of the liberties taken by Hall would've horribly offended the prudish playwright.

Reading this was a lot of fun! I think I might have enjoyed it a bit more than Romeo & Juliet but reading this right after also made it possible for me to compare the too. The style was a lot different, the language wasn't rhymed anymore. Definitely interesting to see how much could have changed in just 150 years. And I sort of honestly wish that it was written a bit later because the friendship between Beatrice and Clarice certainly wasn't 'just' a friendship. Only problem is that I could not stand Truffaldino and Smeraldina, sometimes it wasn't even funny to see how dumb they were.

Jedno z mých oblíbených divadelních představení, takže dává naprostý smysl, že jsem po knižní předloze prostě musela sáhnout. Je to kratičká knížka, která se četla jedním dechem, a navíc jsem celou dobu měla před očima právě ono představení. Užila jsem si to, nemám co vytknout.
