十四行诗里的黑夫(Dark Lady Of The Sonnets)简介：
CBC Radio has recorded skilled actors of the renowned Shakespeare Festival of Canada reading dramas in front of audiences. The Dark Lady of the Sonnets, a playlet set in London around 1600, involves a palace guard, a quirky Shakespeare, and his lady of the title. A peevish Queen Elizabeth lords it over them amusingly. On the same cassette, a shorter Shakes vs. Shaw has Shakespeare debating George Bernard Shaw about which writer is greater. The author is clever, but these curtain raisers are trifles. Filumena is a worthy production of a popular 1946 Italian classic. For 25 years Filumena, a Neapolitan prostitute, has been the sometime mistress of a stolid businessman from whom she stole money to support her three illegitimate sons. Now she wants to marry him and make them legitimate; only then will she tell him which one is his. The majority of the actors do not affect Italian accents. Brisk pacing keeps this romantic comedy lively. This play, frequently revived in Italy, is recommended for general libraries where drama, especially of foreign origin, is sought. Stephen and Mr. Wilde fictionalizes events in 1882 when Oscar Wilde was in Toronto on a lecture tour. Stephen, his 39-year-old black valet, an illiterate slave until he was 19, uses words like dignified, spontaneous, and modulated. Oscar receives brash reporters at the hotel, one of whom identifies Stephen as a fugitive murderer. This mixture of biography, stock characters, and melodrama lacks conviction. Not recommended.
