自2020年3月16以来,英国的剧院因为疫情陆续关闭,成千上万的剧院工作人员失业并因此陷入困境。为帮助这些人,山姆·门德斯发起了戏剧艺术家基金会为他们募捐。随后,英国一些著名演员纷纷以短视频的方式支持这个项目,引导人们进行捐赠。为支持戏剧艺术家基金会,英国国宝级老戏骨朱迪·丹奇女爵也录了一段视频,在视频中她分享了她试镜《哈姆雷特》的故事。

In 1957, I was still a student at the Central School and I got an audition for The Old Vic and I went to the audition and I was cast as Ophelia in Hamlet.
1957年,那时我还是伦敦戏剧中心学校的一名学生,我得到了老维克剧院的试镜机会,并通过了试镜,在《哈姆雷特》中的饰演奥菲莉亚。
It didn’t go down very well, the performance, and people were outraged that they said the so-called national theatre because we didn’t have one then, of Great Britain, you should cast a complete unknown newcomer as Ophelia was disgraceful.
试镜表演进行得不太顺利。他们有点愤慨,并说所谓的国家剧院(因为当时的英国没有国家剧院)就应该选一个完全不知名的新人演奥菲莉亚,因为这是个不光彩的角色。
But Michael Benthall cast me and Michael Benthall stood by me and he said “Now I’m not going to send you packing” he said, “I’m keeping you here Judi and you’re going to play a whole series of parts and understudy and have to work very hard this season” and not only did he keep me there for the 57/58 season, but 58/59, 59/60 and 60/61.
但迈克尔·本瑟尔还是选了我,他还站在我身旁对我说:“我不会让你打包走人,我要把你留在这里。朱迪,在这一场你将扮演多个角色以及做替补,你一定要好好演。”他不仅让我演了57/58场,还让我演了58/59、59/60和60/61场。
So I owe my career to Michael Benthall, lovely, lovely person.
所以我的职业生涯要归功于亲切可爱的迈克尔·本瑟尔。
