翻訳と辞書　辞書検索 [ 開発暫定版 ] スポンサード リンク Vera; or, The Nihilists ： ウィキペディア英語版 Vera; or, The Nihilists ''Vera; or, The Nihilists'' is a play by Oscar Wilde. It is a melodramatic tragedy set in Russia and is loosely based on the life of Vera Zasulich. It was Wilde's first play, and the first to be performed. In 1880, with only a few copies privately printed, arrangements were made with noted actresses for a production the United Kingdom, but this never materialized. The first ever public performance was in New York in 1883 at the Union Square Theatre based on revisions made by Wilde while lecturing in America in 1882. The play was not a success and folded after only one week.〔Cooper, John. (Oscar Wilde in America ); accessed 31/03/2014 21:14〕 It is rarely revived. ==Production history== At the time of writing, the reform-minded Tsar Alexander II was involved in a struggle with revolutionaries who sought to assassinate him (and eventually succeeded). Though none of Wilde's characters correspond to actual Russian people of the time, the above situation was well-known both to Wilde and to the audience for which he was writing. It has been suggested that the plot was inspired by true events. In 1878, three years before the play's completion, Vera Zasulich shot the St Petersburg Chief of Police, Trepov.〔Ellman, Richard. "Oscar Wilde", Hamish Hamilton (1987), pg 117.〕 Wilde described himself as a Socialist, although Ellman describes his Socialism as more "a general hatred of tyranny" than a specific political belief.〔Ellman, Richard. "Oscar Wilde", Hamish Hamilton (1987), pg 116.〕 Marie Prescott and her husband, Mr Perzel purchased the rights to perform the play, and she was the leading actress in its first performance at the Union Square Theatre. Wilde travelled to America for the second time in his life specifically to oversee the production.〔(Oscar Wilde in America ); accessed 31/03/2014 21:14〕 The play was withdrawn after one week. Mr Perzel stated to newspapers "the play is withdrawn simply because it did not pay," citing that he had lost $2,500 on the piece the previous week. He also implied that he had hoped Wilde himself would lecture between the acts, allowing him to capitalise on Wilde's popularity as a public speaker.〔"Oscar Wilde's Play Withdrawn", New York Times, August 28, 1883, 8; uploaded by (Oscar Wilde in America ); accessed 31/03/2014 21:14〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vera; or, The Nihilists」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
