The Theatre

The seventh art, as it is so often called, is both a wonder and a curse. While providing us with many hours of entertainment which shows us things as unrealistic and wonderful as the fantasy movies of magic and dragons, driving us into the future to watch intergalactic face offs of spaceships and shiny lasers, or depressing us with slices of life capable of bringing tears to the toughest of men.

While all of these are truly things that once we see we will never be able to live without (though sometimes making us endure painfully bad movies which kindle a desire to murder, or at least torture, he who ever thought this was worth being made a movie), they take us away from a thousand year old art which truly deserves more attention from the people.

I am off course talking about the theatre.

Ever since ancient Greece have actors stepped into a stage solely to entertain and bring a smile, or a frown, to the spectators’ faces.

Now we have to wonder; with all of these spectacular explosions and remarkable CGI, has the theatre, after surviving for thousands of years, become a dying art?
