告別龐德 丹尼爾克雷格將回到百老匯
Daniel Craig is veering from James Bond to Shakespeare.
丹尼爾．克雷格要從詹姆士．龐德轉向莎士比亞了。
The 53-year-old actor, who has said that his tenure as Bond will come to an end with the release of "No Time to Die," on Oct. 8, plans to return to Broadway next spring to star in the title role of "Macbeth."
這位53歲的演員說，他扮演龐德的任期將隨「007：生死交戰」於10月8日上映後告終，計畫明年春天回百老匯，主演「馬克白」。
Famous for his film career, especially as the rakish spy, Craig is also an accomplished stage actor.
克雷格雖以電影出名，特別是扮演這位瀟灑間諜，不過也是出色的舞台劇演員。
He has starred in two previous Broadway plays, the 2009 production of "A Steady Rain" and a 2013 revival of "Betrayal." And he played the villainous Iago in a 2016 off-Broadway production of Shakespeare's "Othello" at New York Theater Workshop, opposite David Oyelowo in the title role.
他曾主演兩齣百老匯戲劇，2009年的「連綿之雨」，以及2013年再度上演的「背叛」。他也在2016年紐約戲劇工坊的外百老匯莎士比亞作品「奧賽羅」中飾演惡名昭彰的伊阿古，和演對手戲的大衛．歐洛沃共同主演。
The lead producer for the Broadway production will be Barbara Broccoli, who has a long collaboration with Craig: She and her brother produce the Bond films, and they also coproduced "A Steady Rain" and supported the nonprofit "Othello" production.
這齣戲劇主製作人是芭芭拉．布洛克里，她和克雷格合作多年，她和她的兄弟製作龐德系列電影，他們也製作過「連綿之雨」以及支援非營利的奧賽羅製作。
Broccoli said she had been talking with Craig about Macbeth for several years, ever since he expressed an interest in playing the role.
布洛克里說，自從克雷格表達有意演出馬克白以來，她們已討論此劇多年。
"I'm thrilled that it's coming after Bond, because, obviously, after 16 years of working with this man, the thought of it all coming to an end has been really difficult to take," she said. "And so it's really heartwarming for me that we're going to be working on something else so soon after the wrapping up of his James Bond cycle."
她說：「對於這齣戲能接在龐德之後演出，我很興奮。因為和這個男人合作16年之後，想到這即將告一段落，實在讓人難以接受。所以當他的詹姆士．龐德時代結束後，我們馬上合作另一齣戲，讓我很感動。」
Broccoli said that she and Craig also thought it was important to stage the play this season, as Broadway seeks to recover after a long shutdown prompted by the coronavirus pandemic.
布洛克里和克雷格也認為，百老匯因疫情長期關閉，如今試圖復甦之際，讓這齣戲在這一季上演很重要。
"It's been a horrendous 18 months for everyone, and live theater has been damaged tremendously," she said. "He really wants to come back and be on the stage and encourage people to come back to Broadway — it's important to all of us from a cultural point of view and from a social point of view."
她說，「對所有人來說，這18個月很可怕，現場演出的戲劇受傷慘重。他很希望回來站上舞台，鼓勵大家造訪百老匯，從文化觀點以及社會觀點來說，這對我們所有人都很重要。」
"Macbeth" is scheduled to run for 15 weeks, beginning previews March 29 and opening April 28 at Broadway's Lyceum Theater. The production is to be directed by Sam Gold, who also directed the off-Broadway "Othello" in which Craig appeared, and who in 2019 directed a Broadway revival of "King Lear." The production will feature original music by Gaelynn Lea.
馬克白預定演出15周，於明年3月29日預演，4月28日在百老匯蘭心戲院演出。這齣戲將由山姆．戈德執導，他也執導過克雷格演出的外百老匯「奧賽羅」。他在2019年執導百老匯再度上演的「李爾王」，這齣劇搭配格琳．里亞的原創音樂。
There have been 47 previous Broadway productions of "Macbeth," according to the Internet Broadway Database; the most recent was in 2013, starring Ethan Hawke and Anne-Marie Duff.
根據網路百老匯資料庫，「馬克白」曾在百老匯上演47次，最近一次是2013年，由伊森．霍克和安－瑪麗．達芙主演。
