圖書介紹
Ira Aldridge dreamed of being on stage one day performing the great works of William Shakespeare. He spent every chance he got at the local theaters, memorizing each actor s lines for all of Shakespeare s plays. Ira just knew he could be a great Shakespearean actor if only given the chance. But in the early 1800s, only white actors were allowed to perform Shakespeare. Ira s only option was to perform musical numbers at the all-black theater in New York city. Despite being discouraged by his teacher and father, Ira determinedly pursued his dream and set off to England, the land of Shakespeare. There, Ira honed his acting skills and eventually performed at the acclaimed Theatre Royal Haymarket. Through perseverance and determination, Ira became one of the most celebrated Shakespearean actors throughout Europe. Illustrated by award-winning artist Floyd Cooper, Ira s Shakespeare Dream is a captivating tribute to the inspiring life of Ira Aldridge, and to the renowned works of William Shakespeare.

要是我早點讀到這本書，看Hamilton歌劇的時候就不會那樣驚訝了（熱劇Hamilton在芝加哥的演出中，三位總統(tǒng)都是黑人演的，我也是服了，特別覺得confused。然后這本書主人公就是黑人，因為這一點，父親不讓他從事這一行，因為很多劇中人物都是白人）。這是一個真實故事。Ira Aldridge（1807-1867）是本書的主人公，從小向往莎士比亞的歌劇，雖然父親反對，希望他做布道家，但他依然因自己的愛好走向自己的夢想。他雖出生在紐約，但他的夢想實現(xiàn)還是在英格蘭。后來在其它非英語國家德國、俄國、和法國等都很有名。即使演戲，他并未忘記他的同胞，那些出身并非自由的被販為奴隸的同胞。...
