四郎探母(上下集)
星期一晚上四次前往韮菜芭城隍庙观赏中国广东省揭阳市潮剧团的‘四郎探母’。原以为上集会演出七子救驾那几幕大战金沙滩的双龙会,怎知故事是战败15年后,杨六郎再一次于萧太后的兵将交战。中场开始就是陈楚蕙版本的‘杨四郎’,一直演到杨延辉与杨四娘相遇后随从四娘回宋兵营探母。
演出中间发生一件奇事。就当杨四娘使出迷魂绳锁住木龙时,舞台上喷出浓烟,当木龙被捆绑时,一声巨大的炮炸声响起来,初时还以为是音响效果,后来才知道原来是观众席上面的大灯爆炸,高热度的玻璃碎片降落时,应该是烫伤了一些观众,庙宇的几个负责人刚忙前往处理这件事。
四郎探母(上下集) 北宋年间,辽邦萧天佐,萧天佑起兵进犯中原,三关被困。六郎杨延昭命焦、孟二将回朝讨救兵。鉴于朝无良将,天波府佘太郡亲自挂帅,带领杨门众将赴边关解危。
身在辽邦被招为驸马的四朗杨延辉,知母亲挂帅赴边,悲喜交集。公主琼娥发觉驸马神态有异,追问之下,四郎无奈将隐情实告。琼娥深明大义,准四郎出关探母并会前妻。 四娘耿金花与四郎一另十五载,杳无音讯,关前相见,又爱又恨。
太郡闻报大恼,怒斥逆子,下令处斩。众将求情讨保,太郡始谅四郎,准其携公主过营密议两邦和解之策。 萧后闻知驸马、公主罢兵出关议和,怒火万丈,将四将父子押到雁门关城楼,逼佘太郡放回琼娥,不然要将四郎父子斩首。 太郡将计就计,也以斩琼娥相胁。萧后进退维谷,在太郡及琼娥劝说下,茅塞顿开,两邦和解。

Dear Chai Soon,
ReplyDeleteIt is so rare to see an avid fan of Chinese Opera in Singapore. We are currently working on a film project about Chinese Opera, and would definitely like to seek you as a consultant for this performing art. Would you kindly drop me a note at brainchild0510@gmail.com? Cheers,
