David Belasco’s 1912 Broadway production of The Governor’s Lady created a sensation with a scene set in a Child’s cafeteria, a chain restaurant that was an innovator in food standardization and emblematic of modern everyday life. While Belasco’s meticulously detailed reproduction of an immediately recognizable setting impressed the public, it was derided by progressive theater critics who championed the New Stagecraft theories of European artists like Max Reinhardt. The New Stagecraft rejected theatrical literalism; it drew inspiration from the subjectivity and minimalism of modern painters, advocating simplified sets designed to express a dramatic text’s central ideas. Such critics considered Belasco a craftsman who merely captured surface realities: a true artist eliminated the inessential to create more meaningful, expressive stage images. [br] It can be inferred that the theater critics would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements about the theatrical productions?
选项
A、Theatrical productions that seek to eliminate the inessential also often eliminate theatrical elements that enhance the expressiveness of a play.
B、Theatrical productions that faithfully recreate the visual details of everyday life are unlikely to do justice to a good play’s central ideas.
C、Theatrical productions that employ the minimalism characteristic of modern paintings may have greater appeal to modern audiences than productions that rely on theatrical literalism.
D、Theatrical productions that aim to represent truths about modern life should not attempt to employ elements of the New Stagecraft.
E、Theatrical productions that attempt to produce authentic-looking scenes of everyday reality are likely to fail in that goal because of the theater’s inherent limitations.
答案
B
解析
本题考查的是评论家的观点,因此正确选项的大方向就是细节化不好,极简化好。评论家认为极简化的戏剧布景才能表达剧本的核心含义,也就是说细节化的作品不能表达核心含义,do justice to表示“公正对待”,即能表达出某个事物本身的优点,e.g.:a brief summary that does not do justice to the complexity of this issue。A项elimina tetheatrical elements that enhance the expressiveness of a play与评论家观点矛盾。C项吸引观众的是细节化的戏剧布景,评论家的目标只是表现剧本的核心含义。D项与评论家的观点矛盾。E项文中未提及theater’s inherent limitations。
