莆仙(xian)戲名(ming)劇《團(tuan)圓(yuan)之后(hou)》,源于(yu)《不用(yong)刑審書》卷四《張縣令設(she)計翻(fan)案》篇,又名(ming)《父子(zi)恨(hen)》,是(shi)劇作家陳仁鑒在1956年據莆仙(xian)戲傳統劇目《施天(tian)文》(又名(ming)《三天(tian)媳婦害婆婆》)整理改(gai)編(bian)的,福建仙(xian)游縣鯉聲劇團(tuan)同年首演。
此劇(ju)在清末民初,福建仙游莆仙戲振瑞(rui)班(ban)、雙玉班(ban)均常演出。劇(ju)情:某婦(fu)(fu)新婚三日,婆(po)母(mu)自盡。新婦(fu)(fu)到案自認忤逆,縣(xian)令投其(qi)入獄……縣(xian)令借故杖(zhang)某衙(ya)役妻,并與新婦(fu)(fu)同(tong)監。役妻大罵縣(xian)官,婦(fu)(fu)慰之,并吐肺腑,始(shi)知婆(po)母(mu)與人通奸,被她觸見而(er)自盡,于(yu)是案定。
上世(shi)紀50年代,陳(chen)仁鑒(jian)在(zai)福建(jian)仙游莆仙戲(xi)劇(ju)團當編劇(ju)時,偶然發現(xian)了(le)從民間搜(sou)集的(de)劇(ju)本《施天(tian)文》。原(yuan)劇(ju)系公案戲(xi),寫施天(tian)文的(de)妻子(zi)柳氏(shi)(shi)撞見婆(po)(po)婆(po)(po)偷情(qing),婆(po)(po)婆(po)(po)無(wu)顏(yan)自盡。為(wei)保婆(po)(po)婆(po)(po)名(ming)節,柳承認(ren)是因自己頂(ding)撞婆(po)(po)婆(po)(po)而致(zhi)其自盡。后來(lai),知縣復審,終于探明隱情(qing)捉出奸夫(fu),使將(jiang)被問斬(zhan)的(de)柳氏(shi)(shi)重獲自由。陳(chen)仁鑒(jian)認(ren)為(wei),原(yuan)戲(xi)宣揚(yang)的(de)是封建(jian)禮教(jiao),決定改(gai)(gai)變藝術表現(xian)形式,以(yi)控訴封建(jian)禮教(jiao)對人性(xing)的(de)迫害。于是,他將(jiang)這(zhe)出戲(xi)改(gai)(gai)編為(wei)《團圓之(zhi)后》。
在(zai)《團圓之后(hou)》劇本中(zhong),陳仁鑒將施(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)天(tian)文(wen)改(gai)名(ming)施(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)佾生作(zuo)為主(zhu)角。施(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)在(zai)考(kao)中(zhong)狀元后(hou),為年(nian)輕(qing)守(shou)寡的(de)(de)母親(qin)葉氏(shi)請旨(zhi)旌(jing)表。但是(shi),葉氏(shi)在(zai)婚(hun)前就與鄭(zheng)司(si)成(cheng)有情,一直(zhi)未斷。在(zai)施(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)佾生婚(hun)后(hou)第三(san)天(tian)深夜,葉氏(shi)和鄭(zheng)司(si)成(cheng)商量欲了(le)(le)斷前緣以保名(ming)節,但鄭(zheng)不(bu)肯。第二天(tian)清(qing)晨,施(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)的(de)(de)新婚(hun)妻(qi)子(zi)柳氏(shi)向婆(po)婆(po)請安時(shi)撞(zhuang)見鄭(zheng)司(si)成(cheng),葉氏(shi)羞愧難當(dang),懸梁自(zi)(zi)盡(jin)。為了(le)(le)施(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)家(jia)聲譽,施(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)命柳氏(shi)暫時(shi)認罪,其(qi)后(hou)又不(bu)忍妻(qi)子(zi)冤死,遂向縣令求情。最后(hou),為保施(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)家(jia)祖澤和母親(qin)名(ming)節,施(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)欲毒死鄭(zheng)司(si)成(cheng),卻發現鄭(zheng)乃其(qi)生父。于是(shi),他(ta)將毒酒(jiu)灌(guan)進了(le)(le)自(zi)(zi)己口中(zhong)。
