琼·肯普-韦尔奇（1906-1999）是美国最早的女电视导演之一，在成为戏剧导演之前，她先是在舞台剧和电影中担任演员，最后在1955年转向电视行业。她曾为联合传播公司（Associated-Rediffusion）执导过各种娱乐节目，之后她将自己出色的电视导演技能与丰富的戏剧工作经验结合起来，参与了许多重要的电视剧的创作，其中一些是舞台剧，还有一些是为新媒体创作的。本文将研究肯普-韦尔奇的戏剧实践经验是如何在她的舞台剧电视制作中体现出来的，重点关注她在现有的工作室制作中对空间的实用和美学利用，这些戏剧的背景设定在非常不同的地点和时期，包括索福克勒斯的《伊莱克特拉》（1962）、《三姐妹》（1963）、《盛夏夜之梦》（1964）和《罗密欧与朱丽叶》（1976）。因此，本文将对一位颇有成就的电视剧导演进行个案研究，试图理解这些作品中使用空间的社会、文化和具体的戏剧意义，以代表和暗示英国小屏幕上的各种国内、农村、城市和国家场所。
Joan Kemp-Welch (1906–1999), one of the first female television directors, started out as an actor on both the stage and film before becoming a theatre director and finally moving to television in 1955. She directed a variety of entertainment programmes for Associated-Rediffusion before marrying her evident skills as a television director with her rich experience of theatre work, in a number of important television plays, some from the stage and others written for the new medium. This article will examine how Kemp-Welch’s experience of theatre practice may have inscribed itself on her television productions of stage plays, focusing on the practical and aesthetic use she made of space in extant studio productions of plays set in very different locales and time periods, including Sophocles’Electra(1962),Three Sisters(1963),A Midsummer Night’s Dream(1964) andRomeo and Juliet(1976). This case study of an accomplished director of television plays will, therefore, attempt to understand the social, cultural and specifically theatrical meanings of the use of space in these productions to represent and suggest a variety of domestic, rural, urban and national places on the British small screen.
