戏剧受观众冷落,人们已经感受到电视象一股旋风冲击着剧场,而且发现八十年代青年观众的审美观念已发生了变化。一出能满足五十年代观众欣赏要求的好戏,如今照样演出,就未必会受到今天观众的欢迎。什么原因?因为时代变了,人们的美学观念和欣赏要求也在变换。一个剧种、一个剧团、一个剧目,如果不适应时代要求,在艺术上不求革新,就会受到冷落。剧场的不卖座,从某种角度看,是旧的戏剧观念与发展了的时代之间的矛盾在票房价值上的反映。虽然这只是其中一方面的反映。面对着新观众的挑战,人们提出“振兴戏剧”的口号,要振兴戏剧,首先就得要革新戏剧观念。我们要承认,我们的戏剧观念不仅已显得陈旧,而且单调划一,这与今天急剧发展着的多元化的信息世界,是格格不入的。我们说改变戏剧观念,主要是指要改变 Drama has been neglected by the audience.

We must admit that not only are our concepts of theater obsolete, but also monotonous and uniform, which are alien to today’s rapidly evolving pluralistic information world. We say changing the concept of drama mainly means changing
