Is drama out of date?

There are different opinions on whether the form of drama is backward. Generally speaking, drama, as a performing art form, has its unique charm and value.

Drama is instant and interactive, which can fully mobilize the imagination of the audience. The drama pays more attention to characterization and plot advancement, and is not limited by technical conditions. Excellent drama works often embody deeper ideological connotation and humanistic care.

However, drama also has some limitations. Compared with other forms of performance, the stage effect is weak and it is difficult to show grand scenes. Drama has a narrow audience and limited influence. Some drama works have outdated themes and single performance forms.

Therefore, the key to the relationship between drama and the times lies in whether the creators can keep up with the times, choose meaningful themes and adopt flexible methods to make the drama constantly rejuvenate. The form of drama itself should not be regarded as backward, but some drama creations are out of touch with the taste of the audience. Drama needs the continuous efforts of playwrights and performers to adapt to the new era.
