新世纪的中国话剧格局业已基本稳定。乐观者为之兴奋,悲观者为之哀怨。然而无论兴奋也好,哀怨也罢,在市场经济的时代大背景下,一切都已既成事实。中国话剧的下一步应当怎样走,是很难预测的事情。然而,中国话剧从80年代如何走到今天,却值得认真探讨与思考。在此期间中国话剧经历了一次重要的转型,甚至可以说经历了社会主义市场经济的“血与火”的考验。扫描这一转型的过程,总结经验,评定价值,在此有着不同寻常的意义。 The Chinese drama in the new century has basically stabilized. Excited by the optimists, pessimists mourn. However, regardless of the excitement or sadness worth mentioning, in the context of a market economy, everything has been a fait accompli. It is difficult to predict what to do next in Chinese drama. However, how the Chinese drama came to the present from the 1980s deserved to be seriously discussed and refuted. During this period, Chinese drama underwent an important transformation and could even be tested by the “blood and fire” of the socialist market economy. Scanning this process of transition, summarizing experience and assessing value, has an unusual meaning here.
