最近,我在上海有机会看到上海市堇风甬剧团演出的《双玉蝉》。这是一出相当动人的、别具一格的、暴露封建宗法制度的残酷黑暗的大悲剧。但这个戏去年在巡回演出时却引起了许多同志的十分尖锐的批评,说它“宣扬封建道德”,甚至说它“是一部对人民贻害甚深的坏戏”,是“毒草”等等。剧团的同志们被这些意见吓住了,半年多来也没敢再演出。这个戏,是宣扬封建道德呢,还是鞭笞封建罪恶;是对人民贻害甚深的坏戏呢,还是对人民有教育意义的好戏;是毒草呢,还是香花?这是很值得我们研究和讨论的。 Recently, I had the opportunity in Shanghai to see “Double Cicada” performed by the Shanghai Fan Yong Company. This is a very touching and unique style that exposes the brutal dark tragedy of the feudal patriarchal system. However, during the tour this year, the show has drawn very sharp criticisms from many comrades that it “proclaimed the feudal ethics” and even said that it “is a bad movie that harms the people.” It is “poisonous weeds” and so on . The comrades of the troupe were scared by these opinions and did not dare to play for more than half a year. This play, is to promote feudal ethics or whipping feudalism; it is a bad act harming the people, or a good educational play for the people; is it poisonous or fragrant? It is worth our study and discussion of.
