商品简介 “Loud, slap dash and uproarious...extraordinarily original and funny."—New York Times Now, for the first time in a standalone edition, Thornton Wilder's brilliant, hilarious play which was adapted into the hit Broadway musical Hello, Dolly with an afterword by Wilder's nephew, Tappan Wilder. Horace Vandergelder, a wealthy old merchant residing in Yonkers has decided it’s time to take a wife and hires a matchmaker. But Dolly Gallagher Levi is no ordinary matchmaker. She’s a force of nature, with a plan of her own. Levi soon becomes involved in the affairs of the hearts of all those around her—including Vandergelder’s niece, his store clerks, assorted young and lovely ladies, and the headwaiter at an expensive restaurant, where this swift farce inevitably runs headlong into hilarious complications. Indeed, after a series of slapstick situations involving mistaken identities, a secret rendezvous behind carefully placed screens, separated lovers, and a trip to night court—everyone involved eventually finds themselves paired with a perfect match. A delightful, deliciously funny classic by Thornton Wilder, The Matchmaker is astonishingly modern and is sure to resonate with audiences and readers today. “大声、猛烈、喧闹……非常原创和有趣。”——《纽约时报》,桑顿·怀尔德的精彩、搞笑的戏剧首次以独立版本的形式改编成百老汇热门音乐剧《你好,多莉》并附有后记作者:怀尔德的侄子塔潘·怀尔德。居住在扬克斯的一位富有的老商人霍勒斯·范德格尔德决定是时候娶妻并聘请媒人了。但多莉·加拉格尔·莱维不是普通的媒人。她是一种自然力量,有自己的计划利威尔很快就卷入了她周围所有人的心事——包括范德格尔德的侄女、他的店员、各色年轻可爱的女士,以及一家昂贵餐厅的服务员领班,这场迅速发生的闹剧不可避免地会陷入滑稽的复杂局面。确实,在经历了一系列打闹的情况,包括身份错误、在精心放置的屏幕后的秘密约会、失散的恋人以及夜场之旅之后,每个参与其中的人最终发现自己找到了完美的搭档。桑顿的一部令人愉快、有趣的经典之作怀尔德的《红娘子》具有惊人的现代性,一定会引起今天的观众和读者的共鸣。
