Moss Hart

Moss Hart was an American playwright and theatre director. Early on he had a strong relationship with his Aunt Kate, with whom he later lost contact due to a falling out between her and his parents, and Kate's weakening mental state. She piqued his interest in the theater and took him to see performances often. Hart even went so far as to create an "alternate ending" to her life in his book Act One. He writes that she died while he was working on out-of-town tryouts for The Beloved Bandit. Later, Kate became eccentric and then disturbed, vandalizing Hart's home, writing threatening letters and setting fires backstage during rehearsals for Jubilee. But his relationship with her was formative. He learned that the theater made possible "the art of being somebody else … not a scrawny boy with bad teeth, a funny name … and a mother who was a distant drudge.

莫斯·哈特是美国剧作家兼戏剧导演。早年他与凯特姑姑关系亲密，后来因姑姑与他父母发生争执，且凯特姑姑的精神状态日益恶化，两人便失去了联系。正是凯特姑姑激发了他对戏剧的兴趣，并经常带他去看演出。哈特甚至在自己的作品《第一幕》中为姑姑的人生创作了一个"另类结局"。他在书中写道，当他在外地为《心爱的强盗》试演时，凯特姑姑去世了。后来，凯特姑姑变得行为古怪，精神失常，她破坏哈特的家，写恐吓信，还在《庆典》排练期间在后台纵火。然而，与她的这段关系对哈特的成长影响深远。他领悟到，戏剧可以实现"成为他人的艺术……不再是一个牙齿不齐、名字滑稽的瘦小男孩，也不再有一个冷漠苦命的母亲"。
