That is why, on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, whether the form be Peking opera, Taiwanese opera, or local opera from other provinces, given the dearth of appropriately sophisticated scripts in the Chinese repertoire, many companies are turning to adaptations of Western classics. This trend indicates the determination and vitality of practitioners of traditional drama as they seek to innovate and adapt.
因此在台海兩岸，不只是京劇、歌仔戲在劇本荒之下取材西方經典；包括崑曲、川劇、越劇、黃梅戲等傳統戲劇，也紛紛搬演西方經典名劇，這宣告著傳統戲曲創新求變的決心與活力。
