戲曲劇本創作集

Abstract

本論文分成兩大部份，前半是三部畢業劇本，後半則是針對畢業劇本所作的創作說明。 三部劇本分別是：《唐明皇報到》、《賭男》、《范進中舉》。《唐明皇報到》是一部京劇劇本，講述一個快倒閉的戲班與戲神唐明皇要如何挽救戲班生意。劇中透過搬演一齣齣經典名著，傳達了劇中人物對戲的看法，也同時對照著現今社會中的戲劇演出生態。《賭男》是一部京劇短劇，描寫一個男子嗜賭成性，臨死之前還編了一個故事來欺騙妻子，只求死後在地獄有錢可以繼續賭博，充滿濃厚的遊戲氛圍。《范進中舉》則是一部改編自前人作品的歌仔戲劇本，故事在嘲諷文人熱中功名的種種行為舉止，同時也描寫一般人趨炎附勢的嘴臉，諷刺與喜感兼具。 創作說明則包含三部劇本的創作緣起、劇情分析、人物分析等等。在創作說明中闡述了自己內心的想法，也透過簡單的說明完成、圓滿了整個創作。

This thesis consists of two parts—three plays, and its explanation and analysis. The three plays are: The Arrival of Emperor Ming-Huang, The Gambler, and Fan-Jin Passes the Imperial Exam. The Arrival of Emperor Ming-Huang is a Beijing Opera portraying a debate between a theatre group and Emperor Ming-Huang, the God of theatre, on how to maintain their business and increase their audiences. In this play, through their performances of classics the theatre group is able to contemplate and reflect on drama and theatre as a whole, which echoes the concerns of present day people. The Gambler is also a Beijing Opera, it portrays a man who is obsessed with gambling. In this short play, even near death the man lies to his wife in order to have enough paper money for the dead to gamble with in hell. The entire play is presented much like a game itself. Lastly, Fan-Jin Passes the Imperial Exam is a Taiwanese Opera adapted from the works of previous writers. This play is an irony on people who go to the extremes trying to pass the imperial exam, and also those who blindly follow the rich and powerful. The explanation and analysis expresses my thoughts on the three plays, including their creative originality, analysis of the plot, analysis of the characters, in attempt to review the whole process of my writing.
