浣纱记
《浣纱记》演吴越攻伐之事，自范蠡与西施溪边互订婚约开始，而以范蠡偕西施傲游五湖为终结。作者为明昆山人梁辰鱼，辰鱼精通音律，与魏良辅合作改进昆腔，做《浣纱记》传奇，以昆腔演出大为成功，风行一时，奠定了昆腔独霸剧坛的基础。
寄子 －『白首坐抛儿』
「寄子」一出是写伍员眼见吴王夫差宠爱西施，荒怠政事，又欲举兵伐齐，知越国必会趁虚而入，吴国亡在旦夕，因而决心死谏。惟恐绝后，藉使齐之便，将儿子托付给义弟齐国大夫鲍牧。伍子闻讯悲痛晕厥，伍员五内迸裂，惟念及国将不保，忍痛离去。
亲情的主题把一个不平凡的英雄人物写活了，不仅仅是个抽象的忠臣，而是有人性有感情的父亲。在戏中，父子二人有大段歌舞并重的表演，伍员的唱腔低沈回旋，伍子的唱腔高亢激荡，充分表露了两个角色不同的身份、个性和心情。而且演唱中的夹白和哭头，以及锣鼓节奏的起伏变化，更加深了音乐的感人效果。
