Abstract

Abstract This article considers the contributions made to UK comic performance history by women serio-comic performers on the late-nineteenth century British music hall. These women were associated with gritty and witty portrayals of the lives of lower-class Victorians and frequently engaged in ironic representations of ‘acceptable’ versions of female behaviour in performances combining the serious and the comic. Reflecting on the style and content of their characterisations and their direct interactions with audiences, the article examines the varied nature of these largely forgotten acts, and considers the echoes of such serio-comic approaches in contemporary comedy.
有趣又令人不安:维多利亚音乐厅上的女性连环画表演
摘要本文考察了19世纪末英国音乐厅中女性严肃喜剧演员对英国喜剧演出史的贡献。这些女性与维多利亚时代下层阶级生活的坚韧和诙谐的描绘有关,并经常在严肃和喜剧相结合的表演中对“可接受的”女性行为版本进行讽刺。通过对这些角色塑造的风格和内容以及他们与观众的直接互动进行反思,本文研究了这些被遗忘的行为的不同性质,并考虑了这些严肃喜剧方法在当代喜剧中的反响。
