Perhaps it's even harder to do comedy than tragedy. In particular, some comedy has to be written realistically to be funny and moving, but with too many songs and dances in the drama, the audience can lose their emotions, and so between realism and fancy "you've got to be able to jump back and forth and find a balance," says Wu.
不過喜劇的處理也許比悲劇困難，尤其喜劇在某些手法要寫實，不然不幽默，不能感動人；但是在戲曲中當歌舞一多，觀眾的情緒就疏離掉了，所以在寫實和虛擬之間，「要能跳進跳出，找到一個平衡點」，吳興國說。
