David Belasco’s 1912 Broadway production of The Governor’s Lady created a sensation with a scene set in a Child’s cafeteria, a chain restaurant that was an innovator in food standardization and emblematic of modern everyday life. While Belasco’s meticulously detailed reproduction of an immediately recognizable setting impressed the public, it was derided by progressive theater critics who championed the New Stagecraft theories of European artists like Max Reinhardt. The New Stagecraft rejected theatrical literalism; it drew inspiration from the subjectivity and minimalism of modern painters, advocating simplified sets designed to express a dramatic text’s central ideas. Such critics considered Belasco a craftsman who merely captured surface realities: a true artist eliminated the inessential to create more meaningful, expressive stage images.
The author of the passage implies which of the following about Belasco’s production of The Governor’s Lady?
选项
A、It was dismissed by certain theater critics who misunderstood Belasco’s conception of modernity.
B、It was intended to marshal elements of the New Stagecraft to serve Belasco’s predilection for realistic staging.
C、It demonstrated that theatrical literalism could be used effectively to express a dramatic text’s central ideas.
D、It elicited responses that reflected a discrepancy between popular tastes in entertainment and the tastes of progressive theater critics.
E、It relied on the appeal of an impressively realistic stage set to compensate for weaknesses in other aspects of the production.
答案
D
解析
根据第一句,贝拉斯科的作品引起了轰动(sensation),说明大众是喜欢贝拉斯科的作品的,但是贝拉斯科被激进的戏剧评论家所嘲讽(deride),这表明评论家的品味和大众不一致(a discrepancy)。A项misunderstood表明一件事情本来是对的。但是被误认为是错的,原文没有评论到底谁的舞台风格是正确的,因而也就不存在“误解”一说。B项因为贝拉斯科的作品就是细节化的,没有安排新舞台艺术的极简化元素。C项表达核心思想的是新舞台艺术理论,而非贝拉斯科的作品。E项表述不对,没有弥补缺陷。
