Narrator:Listen to a conversation between a student and a professor.

Female Professor:OK,let's see,right…"Modern stagings of a Shakespearean classic.”Well like I told you last week I think that’s a great topic for your paper.So the title'll be something like…Male Student:I'm not really sure.Probably something like“Twentieth-Century Stagings of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”Female Professor:Yes.I like that:straightforward and to the point.So how's the research going?Male Student:Well,that's what I came to talk to you about.I was wondering if you happened to have a copy of the Peter Brook production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream in your video collection.I'been looking for it everywhere,and…I’m having a really hard time tracking it down.Female Professor:That's because it doesn't exist.Male Student:Huh!You mean in your collection,or at all?Female Professor:I mean at all.That particular production was never filmed or recorded.Male Student:Oh no.I had no idea.From what I’ve read,that production,like,it influenced every other production of the play that came after it so…I just assumed it had been filmed or videotaped.Female Professor:Oh,it definitely was a landmark production,and…it's not like it ran for just a week,but either it was never filmed,or if it was,the film has been lost.And it’s ironic because there's even a film about the making of the production,but none of the production itself.Male Student:So now what do I do…if there's no video…?Female Professor:Well,think about it.This is the most important twentieth-century staging of A Midsummer Night's Dream,right?

Male Student:But how can I write about Brook's interpretation of the play if I can't see his production?Female Professor:Just because there's no recording doesn't mean you can't figure out how it influenced other productions.

Male Student:I guess there's enough material around.But it'll be a challenge.Female Professor:True,but think about it:You're writing about dramatic arts…the theater,and that's the nature of theater isn’t it?

Male Student:You mean because it's live,when the performance is finished…

Female Professor:That’s it,unless it's filmed,it’s gone!But that doesn't mean we can't study it.And of course some students in this class are writing about productions in the nineteenth century…and there are no videos of those.You know,one of the challenges for people who study theater is to find ways of talking about something that's really so transient,about something that in a sense,doesn't exist.

旁白：聽一段學生和教授之間的對話。

女教授：好的，讓我們看看，對吧……”莎士比亞經(jīng)典的現(xiàn)代舞臺?！熬拖裎疑现芨嬖V你的，我認為這是你論文的一個很棒的主題。所以標題會是……男生：我不是很確定?？赡苡悬c像“二十世紀仲夏夜之夢的舞臺”女教授：是的。我喜歡這樣：直截了當，切中要害。研究進展如何？男學生：嗯，這就是我要跟你說的。我想知道你們的視頻集中是否有彼得·布魯克制作的《仲夏夜之夢》的副本。我一直在到處尋找它，而且……我真的很難找到它。女教授：那是因為它不存在。男學生：哼！你的意思是在你的收藏中，還是根本沒有？女教授：我的意思是根本沒有。那部特別的作品從未被拍攝或錄制過。男學生：哦，不，我不知道。從我所讀到的來看，這部作品，比如說，它影響了該劇之后的其他所有作品，所以……我只是認為它已經(jīng)被拍攝或錄像了。女教授：哦，這絕對是一部里程碑式的作品，而且……它不像只拍了一周，但要么它從未被拍攝過，要么如果是的話，這部電影就丟了。具有諷刺意味的是，甚至有一部關(guān)于制作的電影，但沒有一部是關(guān)于制作本身的。男學生：那么現(xiàn)在我該怎么辦……如果沒有視頻…？女教授：嗯，想想看。這是二十世紀最重要的《仲夏夜之夢》舞臺，對嗎？

男學生：但是如果我看不到布魯克的作品，我怎么寫他對這部劇的詮釋呢？女教授：沒有錄音并不意味著你就不知道它是如何影響其他作品的。

男學生：我想周圍有足夠的材料。但這將是一個挑戰(zhàn)。女教授：沒錯，但想想看：你寫的是戲劇藝術(shù)……戲劇，這就是戲劇的本質(zhì)，不是嗎？

男學生：你的意思是因為它是現(xiàn)場的，當演出結(jié)束的時候…

女教授：就是這樣，除非拍下來，否則就不見了！但這并不意味著我們不能研究它。當然，這門課上的一些學生正在寫關(guān)于19世紀的作品……沒有這些作品的視頻。你知道，研究戲劇的人面臨的一個挑戰(zhàn)是找到談?wù)撘恍┓浅６虝旱氖虑榈姆椒?，談?wù)撘恍┰谀撤N意義上不存在的事情。
