世界首演话剧《罗夏墨迹》10月17日在洛杉矶天光剧场开幕 演至11月22日
洛杉矶——由凯利·杨格（Kelly Younger）编剧、卡梅伦·沃森（Cameron Watson）执导的话剧《罗夏墨迹》（RORSCHACH）10月15日与16日晚8时在洛杉矶洛斯费利兹的天光剧场（Skylight Theatre，1816 1/2 N. Vermont Ave.）举行预演，10月17日晚8时正式开幕，演出持续至11月22日，其后逢周五、周六晚8时、周日下午2时上演。
该剧为世界首演，由天光剧场STAR艺术家驻留计划支持。剧场介绍称，这是一部诙谐、富巧思又出人意料地温柔的新作，探讨知觉的艺术与科学、被真正看见的勇气，以及爱情那神秘的墨迹形状，并向观众提出贯穿全剧的问题：「你看到了什么？」剧名取自以对称墨迹图进行心理投射测验的罗夏测验。
沃森同时是天光剧场艺术总监，这是他担任该职后的首部作品。他在剧场发布的声明中说：「凯利的这部剧自从我第一次读到、我们开始合作以来就一直在我心里，我从未能够将它放下。这是一次难得的合作：洛杉矶出生、成长的剧作家，全洛杉矶的设计团队与演员阵容，一部设定在洛杉矶的世界首演剧，作为我担任这家传奇剧场艺术总监的首秀。」杨格表示：「一家剧场愿意制作一部新剧是很难得的，我非常感激天光剧场愿意给《罗夏墨迹》一个机会。一部关于墨迹的戏？是的。但它的核心是一个爱情故事，讲的是我们如何看待彼此、多么渴望被如实地看见，以及这件事能有多神秘、混乱而美好。」
演员阵容包括保罗·库洛斯（Paul Culos）饰埃米尔、米奇·罗斯（Mitch Ross）饰赫尔曼、林齐·费尼克斯（Linzi Fenix）饰奥莉芙、泰莎·克莱尔·赫什（Tessa Claire Hersh）饰达娜、伊莱贾·麦克纳利（Elijah McNally）饰贾斯汀、卡罗琳娜·罗德里格斯（Carolina Rodriguez）饰艾梅。剧场方面10月16日发布了该剧的舞台剧照。
World-Premiere Play 'RORSCHACH' Opens October 17 at Skylight Theatre in Los Feliz, Running Through November 22
LOS ANGELES — RORSCHACH, a new play by Kelly Younger directed by Cameron Watson, previewed at 8 p.m. on October 15 and 16 at the Skylight Theatre (1816 1/2 N. Vermont Ave.) in Los Feliz, Los Angeles, and opens on Saturday, October 17 at 8 p.m. The world-premiere production runs through November 22, with performances on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m.
The production is a world premiere supported by STAR, the Skylight Theatre Artist Residency program. The theatre describes it as a funny, inventive, and surprisingly tender new play about the art and science of perception, the courage to be seen for who we truly are, and the mysterious, blotted shape of love itself, inviting audiences to ask the question that changes everything: "What do you see?" The title refers to the Rorschach test, the psychological method built on interpreting symmetrical inkblots.
Watson is Skylight's artistic director, and RORSCHACH is his first show in the role. "Kelly's play has been in my heart ever since I first read it and we started working on it together. I have never been able to shake it," Watson said in a statement released by the theatre. "This is a rare collaboration: a Los Angeles-born and bred playwright, an all-Los Angeles design team and cast — presenting a world premiere play set in Los Angeles as my first show as Artistic Director of the legendary Skylight Theatre." Younger said: "It's rare for a theatre to produce a new play, so I'm incredibly grateful that the Skylight Theatre is taking a chance on RORSCHACH. A play about inkblots? Yes. But at its heart it's a love story about how we see each other, how badly we want to be seen for who we truly are, and how mysterious and messy and wonderful that can be."
The cast features Paul Culos as Emil, Mitch Ross as Hermann, Linzi Fenix as Olive, Tessa Claire Hersh as Dana, Elijah McNally as Justin, and Carolina Rodriguez as Aimee. Production photographs of the play were released on October 16.
