《脏手》是一部一上演就遭受了各国共产党诟病的剧作。萨特也因此而长期背负了反共分子的罪名。让人颇感意外的是,它却是新时期最早被译介和在中国演出的萨特剧作。我国学术界对《脏手》的评论文章20余篇。关于这部剧作,大多数文章将其视为一部政治剧。此外,还有一种情况,一是将其看做萨特为友鸣冤之作;一是认为这是一部“情景剧”或“自由剧”。相对来说,后一种说法更有说服力。 “Dirty hands” is a drama that has been criticized by communists in all countries. As a result, Sartre has long been charged with anti-communist crimes. Surprisingly, it was the first Sartre play to be translated and performed in China in the new era. Chinese academic circles on the “dirty hands” more than 20 articles. Most articles on this play consider it a political play. In addition, there is a situation, one is seen as Sartre as a friend of genius; the first is that this is a “melodrama” or “free drama.” The latter argument is more convincing.
