大公滑稽戏剧团演出的《七十二家房客》,通过一个侧面,暴露了旧上海的黑暗面,鞭策了反动阶级人物可卑的丑恶面目,它显示出千疮百孔的旧上海注定要走向灭亡。故事发生在解放前一个拥挤不堪的上海弄堂房子里。弄堂房子,就好像是北京的大杂院。这里居住着各式各样的下层小市民,有皮匠、裁缝、洗衣服的、卖大饼的、卖香烟的、走江湖的医生、丫头、舞女等等。他们大多依靠出卖自己微薄的劳动力,在饥饿或半饥饿的生活线上挣扎。 The “Seventy-two Tenants,” a performance performed by the duke of TaiKong, exposes the dark side of old Shanghai on one side and spurs the ugly face of the reactionary class. It shows that the riddled old Shanghai is doomed to perish . The story took place in a crowded Shanghai alley before liberation. Lane alley house, it seems like a big garden in Beijing. Here lived a variety of lower-class citizens, there are cobblers, tailors, washing clothes, selling confectionery, selling cigarettes, rivers and lakes doctors, girls, dancing girls and so on. Most of them rely on betraying their modest workforce and struggling on the path to starvation or semi-hunger.
