《剧院风情》是毛姆自称在十分欢畅的心情下写下的一部自己特别心爱的作品,动用的是他在戏剧界混迹多年的生活素材——别忘了他曾是英国有史以来最成功的剧作家之一。朱莉娅·兰伯特是英国舞台上的一代名伶,她是个天生的演员,舞台上的她光彩夺目、颠倒众生,舞台下的她却陷入跟一个少年仰慕者的危险激情;受尽情欲的折磨与屈辱之后,拯救她的仍旧是她对于舞台艺术的痴心不改,痛苦的人生经验使她对人物的把控更加游刃有余,表演更加炉火纯青,她终于在自己身上完成了情欲的救赎。毛姆借由朱莉娅的沉溺与救赎将人生、人性、情欲、艺术打成一片、熔于一炉,表现得丝丝入扣、入木三分。(Theatre is a beloved work by Maugham in a very cheerful mood, he used the life material that he experienced in the playdom for many years—don't forget that once he was one of the most successful playwrights in British history.

Maugham used the addiction and redemption of Julia to combine the life, humanity, passion and art, which expressed interesting and astute.)
