在现代化的背景下话剧被引入中国,由于中西戏剧分属于不同的演剧体系,承担着“新民”重任的现代话剧不仅需要在舞台美术、表演、观演关系等方面开拓,以建构起现代演剧体系,更需寻觅异于传统演剧的社会生存状态。现代话剧起始于业余演剧,随后便堕入职业化、商业化的陷阱,此后借助爱美演剧运动进行艺术积淀,至20世纪30年代再次走向职业演剧。 In the context of modernization, drama was introduced into China. Since Chinese and Western plays belong to different theatrical systems, the modern drama undertaking the important task of “Xin Min” not only needs to be opened up in the stage of art, performance, relationship and so on, in order to construct Modern drama system, but also need to find different from the traditional drama of the social existence. Modern drama began with amateur drama, and then fell into the trap of occupation and commercialization. After that, with the aid of the amateur drama movement, the art was accumulated and went to professional drama again in the 1930s.
