"唐頓二小姐" 驚豔倫敦話劇舞臺

Downton Abbey star Laura Carmichael gave an admirable performance for her West End debut in Chekhov classic Uncle Vanya.

《唐頓莊園》(Downton Abbey)女星勞拉·卡爾邁克爾(Laura Carmichael)在話劇契訶夫的經典之作《萬尼亞舅舅》(Uncle Vanya)中奉獻了精彩的西區首秀。

The actress - known for her role as Lady Edith Crawley in the hit TV show - stars opposite Anna Friel, Ken Stott and Samuel West in the play which opened at London's Vaudeville Theatre in the Strand.

勞拉因飾演熱播劇《唐頓莊園》中的伊迪絲·克勞利小姐(Lady Edith Crawley)而被影迷所熟知。在這部於倫敦斯特蘭特地區的沃德韋耶劇院上演的話劇中，勞拉飾演桑婭(Sonya)，與安娜·弗里爾(Anna Friel)，肯·斯托特(Ken Stott)與塞繆爾·韋斯特(Samuel West)上演對手戲。

Laura stoically carried on with her closing monologue despite a member of the audience in the front rows becoming unwell and causing a commotion.

演出時，前排的一名觀衆突感不適，引起一陣騷動，但勞拉泰然處之，唸完了最後一段獨白。

In the audience to support the actress were her Downton co-stars Joanne Froggatt, Amy Nuttall and Phyllis Logan, who play housemaid Anna, disgraced maid Ethel and housekeeper Mrs Hughes.

前來給這位女星打氣的有不少《唐頓莊園》的演員：飾演女僕安娜(Anna)的瓊安·弗洛甘(Joanne Froggatt)，飾演墮落女傭艾瑟爾(Ethel)的艾米·納托爾(Amy Nuttall)和飾演女管家休斯太太(Mrs. Hughes)的菲利斯·洛根(Phyllis Logan)。

Also in the audience were Luther star Idris Elba and Anna's partner Rhys Ifans, who made V for victory signs to her during the curtain call.

觀衆中還有《路德》(Luther)男星伊德瑞斯·艾爾巴(Idris Elba)以及安娜的男友瑞什·伊凡斯(Rhys Ifans)，後者在謝幕時給了安娜做了一個勝利的V字手勢。

Phyllis said of the show: "I loved it. Laura was great. She must have thought she was being heckled but she just kept on going. She did so well."

對於這場演出，菲利斯評論道：“我非常喜歡這部戲。勞拉太出色了。她當時肯定在想有觀衆起鬨了，但她還是很鎮定地繼續演了下去。她做得很棒。”

Amy said: "She was amazing. But we think she was miscast because she kept saying 'I'm so plain' and she's so beautiful."

艾米說：“她真的很贊。但我們覺得選她來演這個角色不是最合適，她一直說着‘我毫無姿色，相貌平平’，但她其實可漂亮啦！”

Joanne agreed and added: "We loved our girl."

瓊安很同意，並補充道：“我們很愛她。”
