项目摘要

The Great Hall at Hampton Court Palace is the only great hall built by Henry VIII. It is also the only existing Renaissance building in England for which there is unambiguous evidence of it being used for performances throughout the period c.1525 - 1658. In particular, the Great Hall at Hampton Court is largely the same space today as it was when William Shakespeare staged his A Midsummer Night's Dream in front of James I. Henrician Court Drama is a research project into the plays and interludes that were staged at the court of Henry VIII. It will be based on historical research and textual analysis and will use dramatic workshops in the Great Hall at Hampton Court to research Henrician court drama. There has been some very useful research conducted at the New Globe based upon the recreation of authentic performances of Shakespeare's plays but what makes Henrician Court Drama unique is that the Great Hall at Hampton Court is largely the same as it was in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This means that the kind of codas and caveats that inevitably surround research conducted in reconstructed performance spaces like the New Globe will be less pressing when working in the Great Hall. There are, however, a number of issues that need to be addressed before large-scale workshops can be under taken in the Great Hall and these will be the focus of the first stage of the project. In April 2007 the project will stage a workshop in the Great Hall in order to define the kind of problems that need to be solved before a full research led production of a Henrician court drama could be successfully produced in the Great Hall. The project is going to use a play, The Play of the Wether, by John Heywood, one of the leading playwrights of the time, in order to experiment with different forms of staging and acting. In this play the God Jupiter, representing Henry VIII, decides to come to earth and resolve the constant debates that humans have over which is the best weather. He finds, however, that no-one can agree. Millers want rain while washer women want sun and wind and little boy desires snow. In the end Jupiter decides to leave things as there are. The play is an allegory of the religious choices facing Henry in 1533 and subtly argues that the best policy for the king to follow is to do nothing since to try and please everyone will simply lead to arguments and disputes. 2009 will be the anniversary of Henry VIII's succession in 1509. The overarching aim of Henrician Court Drama is to conduct sufficient research into court drama between now and then to stage a full research led production of The Play of the Wether in 2009.

汉普顿宫的大厅是亨利八世建造的唯一大厅。它也是英格兰现存的唯一一座文艺复兴时期的建筑，有明确的证据表明它在1525 - 1658年间被用于表演。特别是，汉普顿宫的大厅今天基本上与威廉·莎士比亚在詹姆斯一世面前上演《仲夏夜之梦》时的空间相同。亨利宫廷戏剧是对亨利八世宫廷戏剧和插曲的研究项目。它将以历史研究和文本分析为基础，并将使用戏剧研讨会在大会堂在汉普顿法院研究亨利宫廷戏剧。新地球仪根据莎士比亚戏剧的真实表演进行了一些非常有用的研究，但使亨利西亚宫廷戏剧独特的是，汉普顿宫廷的大厅与16世纪和17世纪基本相同。这意味着，在像新地球仪这样的重建表演空间中进行研究时，不可避免地会遇到的那种尾声和警告，在大会堂工作时将不那么紧迫。然而，在大会堂举办大规模讲习班之前，需要解决一些问题，这些问题将是项目第一阶段的重点。2007年4月，该项目将在大会堂举办一个讲习班，以确定在大会堂成功制作一部以研究为主导的亨利王朝宫廷戏剧之前需要解决的问题。该项目将使用一个发挥，发挥的天气，由约翰海伍德，一个领先的剧作家的时间，以实验不同形式的舞台和表演。在这出戏中，代表亨利八世的朱庇特神决定来到地球，解决人类关于哪种天气最好的持续争论。然而，他发现没有人能同意。米莱尔要下雨，洗衣女工要阳光和风，小男孩要下雪。最后，木星决定让事情保持原样。这出戏是一个寓言的宗教选择面临的亨利在1533年，并巧妙地认为，最好的政策，为国王遵循是什么也不做，因为试图取悦每个人只会导致争论和争端。2009年将是1509年亨利八世继位的纪念日。亨利宫廷戏剧的首要目标是从现在到2009年对宫廷戏剧进行充分的研究，以完成一部由研究主导的《天气剧》。
