中国的皮影戏是除京剧以外最广为人知的戏剧形式。当我来到英国公校的中国戏剧课程时，就迫不及待想要开展一项皮影戏项目了。英制7至9年级的每一位学生，以及英制10和11年级的部分学生都在学习研究莎士比亚作品。公学校长先生在大学时曾热衷于研究英语文学，并且是吟游诗爱好者。2017/18学年进入尾声时，我决定将戏剧部的工作重心放在学生们将要在考试中涉及的戏剧上。

为了帮助英制8年级学生更好地理解莎士比亚名著《暴风雨》，我给他们布置了一项任务——用皮影戏来演绎这个故事。

为了保证皮影戏人偶的质量，我寻求了学生们的艺术老师MsMcLoughlin的帮助，两个部门为《暴风雨》皮影戏项目进行了合作，学生们在艺术课中制作了精美的人偶用于皮影戏演出，感谢艺术部师生们的支持！我们将这部戏剧分成了五个场景，每个场景由一个小组来负责。学生们根据我分发的剧本台词进行表演，再此要特别表扬J Zhou，她扮演《暴风雨》中的米兰达，并将莎士比亚的台词完美演绎了出来，可见，JZhou在英制8年级的英语文学课中获得最高分也绝非巧合，她的确很出色。

我为所有学生对《暴风雨》的深入研究和对人物动作的准确理解感到欣慰，英语文学的MrHamilton老师的教学对此起到了重要的作用。希望所有人喜欢我们的皮影戏《暴风雨》！

Aside from the Beijing Opera (京剧), 皮影戏 - or Shadow Play or Shadow Theatre,is China’s best known theatrical export. When I knew I was coming to teachDrama at Wycombe Abbey International School I was excited to do a Píyǐngxìproject! Every pupil in years 7, 8, and 9, and some pupils in years 10 and 11study Shakespeare at Wycombe. The headmaster himself studied English Literatureat university, and is a big fan of the Bard. As we approached the end of yearexams, I decided to focus our Drama work on the plays the pupils would bewriting exams on.

To assist my Y8 pupils with their knowledgeand understanding of The Tempest, I challenged them to perform the story withshadow puppets. To ensure we used beautiful shadow puppets, I asked their Artteacher, Ms. McLoughlin, to collaborate with me on the project, and I thinkyou’ll agree the puppets the pupils created in their Art lesson are exquisite –thank you Ms. McLoughlin for your input! We divided the play into five keyscenes, and each group were responsible for a scene. I gave them Shakespeareantext to work from, and particular credit must go to J. Zhou who played Miranda,and learnt her lines of the original Shakespearean text! It is no coincidencethat J. Zhou achieved the highest grade in year 8 in English Literature.

I was really impressed with all of thepupils’ knowledge of the play and understanding of the character’s motivations,well done Mr Hamilton in the English Literature department! I hope you enjoythe show!
