精英体育:当运动员的故事登上舞台

High-Performance Sports:When athletics make it to the stage

几周前,我在曼哈顿戏剧俱乐部(Manhattan ITheatre Club)的剧场里看了《詹姆斯王》(King James)的“早鸟”试演场次。这个故事没有任何宗教色彩,除非你的信仰是篮球。事实上,这出话剧的两位演员正是追随篮球的虔诚信徒。有趣的是,剧作家拉古夫·约瑟夫(Rajv Joseph)坚定地说,这部作品实际上不是关于篮球运动的。

A few weeks ago,I was at the Manhattan Theatre Club to see an early preview of King James.Nothing terribly religious there,unless you happen to worship basketball And actually,the two characters in the play pretty much did.The funny thing is,playwright Rajiv Joseph insists that his play isn't really about basketball.
