『閣下、どうか嫉妬にはご用心を』
人を死に至らしめるものとは。勇敢な戦士オセローは、保守的な国際都市ヴェニスにおいて、その肌の色から異人として受け入れられていた。数々の武勇がその街での彼の居場所を作っていき、その誉れは褐色の肌の色を問わずヴェニスの民によって認められていたはずだった。
しかしその裏に嫉妬に喘ぐ数々のヴェニスの軍人がいたことも事実。いつの世も地位と名声を誰もが欲し、誰もが自らこそがそれに相応しいと思う。力で上り詰めたオセローにとって、剣や拳や毒が人を殺める武器であったのに対し、イアーゴーが用いた武器はただ、柔らかいハンカチと嫉妬の心であった。この物語が本当に全てイアーゴーによって練られた復讐の筋書き通りだったのだろうか。否、全ての登場人物の心の裏にある欲が織り成す猜疑のレースは、ただその引き金を策士の指が引いただけに過ぎないのではないだろうか。 ・Charles and Mary Lamb's TALES FROM SHAKESPEARE: MACBETH edited by Yu Okubo translated by Yuka Akune

題名の『十二夜』とは、クリスマスから十二日目(つまり1月6日の夜のことで、イエス生誕に際して当方の三博士が訪ねてきた日とされている。西洋では、新年祝いの締めとなる盛大な宴が催され、この劇はその余興で初演されたと古くは考えられていたようだ。 ただ、単ににぎやかなだけでなく、十二夜には、寂しい冬を前にした最後の華やかさ、というイメージもある。 伝統としては、祝日の無礼講=愚考がモチーフにあり、イタリアの笑劇や、北欧を中心に栄えた愚人文学が裏にあると言われており。賢そうな奴が愚かで、愚かそうな奴が賢い、ということで、(主導権を握るロザリンドに比べて)ヴァイオラは身動きがとれず、結果として愚かそうな大公や女主人が得をしているのは、そういうことなのかもしれない。 本作は、コミカルに各キャラクターを描きつつ、ヴァイオラのみをストレートプレーで演出することで、作品としての大枠を表現しているが、物語の側面を各キャラクターの視点から聴くことで、裏のテーマが見えてくるだろう。 【CAST】 豊岡聡仁、 安田愛実、 西村健志、 長谷川ゆみ、 宮負潤、 佐藤充、 幸本たつと、 【音楽・監修】 谷真人
