Filming has begun for Us, BBC One’s four-part drama adapted by David Nicholls from his hugely popular novel of the same name.
Tom Hollander (Baptiste, The Night Manager) will be joined by Saskia Reeves (Luther, Shetland), Sofie Gråbøl (The Killing, Fortitude), Tom Taylor (Doctor Foster, The Dark Tower), Iain De Caestecker (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, The Fades) and Thaddea Graham (Curfew, The Letter for the King), with casting by Sarah Crowe. It is produced by Drama Republic and Bandstand Productions.
Douglas Petersen (Tom Hollander) is blindsided when his wife Connie (Saskia Reeves) tells him that she’s not sure she wants to be married to him anymore. Agreeing to still go on their planned family grand tour of Europe, Douglas vows to win back the love of his wife and repair his troubled relationship with their son Albie (Tom Taylor).
Reflecting David Nicholls' signature mix of humour and heartbreak, Us brings the Petersens' poignant and often hilarious story to life, taking viewers with them on their once-in-a-lifetime journey through some of the most beautiful cities in the world.
David Nicholls says: “It’s a huge thrill to see the novel come to life, and with such a wonderful cast and production team. We want to make something funny, touching and beautiful, to really explore marriage and family life, all against this incredible backdrop.”
Tom Hollander and Hannah Pescod say: “We are delighted to be working with Drama Republic and the great David Nicholls in bringing his beautiful novel to BBC One. The trials of the Petersens will strike a chord with many - a family tale for our times.”
Piers Wenger, Controller of BBC Drama, says: “We feel so honoured to be bringing David’s beautiful novel to BBC One and to have the brilliant Tom Hollander and Saskia Reeves playing the leading roles. We are thrilled to work with David and Drama Republic once again and also with Bandstand Productions on their debut drama for the BBC.”
Greg Brenman and Roanna Benn, Executive Producers for Drama Republic, say: “David Nicholls is a unique and rare talent who miraculously manages to intertwine profound emotion with full-on humour. This glorious adaptation has attracted an exceptional cast in Tom Hollander, Saskia Reeves and Sofie Gråbøl. We couldn’t be more excited to begin filming.”
Us is executive produced by Greg Brenman and Roanna Benn for Drama Republic, Tom Hollander and Hannah Pescod for Bandstand Productions, Jo McClellan for BBC One and David Nicholls. It is directed by Lisa Siwe (Temple, Modus) and distributed internationally by BBC Studios. Filming will take place in London, Amsterdam, Venice, Barcelona and Paris.
戲劇節奏太好了，內容也很豐富，有溫情有恐懼有隔閡有反思，不同的人可以看到不同的東西。
Watched on Apple TV+. Joyful with tears, a true representation of cosmopolitanism
音乐剧真的太有感染力了，每个演员的吐字都很清晰，声音都很有穿透力。最惊喜的是舞台的走位和场景转换，太有趣了，尤其是gay couple和new couple交叉站立相互对话那段太妙了。每首歌都超级棒！而且每个演员都一人饰多角，新角色虽然只是穿了个马甲就整个状态都不一样了，好厉害！群戏太牛了，感觉可以关注点放在每一个演员身上然后跟着每个人都看一遍。总之整个音乐剧就是超棒，很希望有机会可以去看现场版！
此刻我们说着相同的语言，哇，那一瞬间觉得信仰好伟大。陌生人释放善意而产生的羁绊真美好
精彩绝伦！！！
Bravo
趁着要去现场前补了。虽然是鸡汤但是很喜欢，尤其是疫情加上二十年的特殊日子。好喜欢舞台和各位的表演，非常有生命力，让人落泪又不过度煽情🥰
it's all about recovery and salvation. 能够关照到911之后第二天的日子和远离纽约的加拿大小镇 这个视角太绝了 人文关怀就是如此。当初在伦敦没能看到现场版太可惜了 演员们的转场和角色切换就几乎在一秒之间 情绪拿捏得恰到好处 this is the stage energy
这个剧情也不能说不行 毕竟本来也不能怎么改编 不过觉得故事选取可以更好点 总的来说就是平淡 但又不像乐队来访那样有深层的情感 无意中就能打动人 音乐一般
#How a small island changes the world when the world is on the edge of falling.
第一次主动看音乐剧，我还不太会欣赏。将近两个小时的表演，从头到尾专注的看完，同时又要准确的理解其剧情，含义还是很有难度的。找时间再来追第二遍吧。整个情节十分流畅，人物剧情也很生动且活泼，就是美式幽默我还get不到。看来9.11将是美国无法抹去的哀伤。
其实历史永远不应该只有一面
19年最爱的一部 第一次看到戏剧可以这么没有边界 可以这么复杂却简单 这次线上看没想到泪点竟从抽离瞬间的dover fault——Nick的独白开始。可能是最近分离太多了。剧里面有一句说美好的事物都不能长久。希望前一半是真的 后一半是假的。
The island Newfoundland,the town Gander, we honor what we lost but also commemorate what we found.
终于看完了这版。几度流泪。我将永远相信残酷现世中存在的人性文明之光。
正能量，流畅，演员ok，积极向上，歌好听，不错
机长原型说她看了这部戏101次，它没有让人沉溺在悲伤里喘不过气。自始至终靠的是人性本身的脆弱、敏感、真实和温暖在打动观众。911过去了二十年，但人类还是有点希望的，不是吗？
音乐这种东西真的很能够拉扯人的情绪，每次看到这样的电影版音乐剧就总想去现场看看，毕竟隔着屏幕看就已经足够震撼。911事件是沉重的悲伤的，而故事就设定在刚发生了这个事件之后的一个加拿大小镇上，但剧作没有让观众完全沉浸在悲痛中，在这之中时不时加点小幽默或人与人的情感链接，真让我体验了一次悲喜交加。整个剧作的歌曲和编排都很完美，通过灯光的颜色来切换场景，演员们也都是一人分饰n角（n≥2），以服装动作神态语气来切换角色，太强大了，我还是到差不多最后面才发现原来中东人阿里和凯文0是同一个人，水平之高毋庸置疑。剧作特别聚焦到这样一个小镇上，将恐怖事件与小镇人的热情作对比，人性的善与恶两个极端冲突，摆在观众面前，批判恶的同时不忘宣扬美。人们抱团取暖，由此促成的一世友谊，异地爱情实在令人感动。
看的第一部音乐剧
这个音乐剧太好看了，整个舞台布置迅速，人物转换极快。小小的场地展现了飞机内外的状况，纽芬兰镇里居民临阵不乱的布置安排，还有酒吧，休息室各处人物的惊疑，耐心，惶恐，热心，无奈，随心。他们唱歌好听，台词道来令人确信煞有其事。喜欢女机长的讲演，从梦想到成为有资历的机长，突破性别观念，勇于挑战的样子英姿飒爽。舞台小，内容展现那样丰富，每个演员都值得观众鼓掌观众，还有阴影处的乐队，把氛围烘托恰到好处，这就是舞台剧的魅力吧，大家共同努力一起营造在另一个世界，让观众看到，听到，感动到。
