The stage and the actor’s performances have experienced an uplift from what they were in the earlier days when compared to modern day theater. How has the theater experienced this upliftment? |

Answer» Theatre existed even before any play was ever written. Even at that time, theatre was happening somewhere; perhaps a clearing in front of caves or elsewhere in a dark starry night around a burning fire, more for keeping wild animals at bay than entertaining the crowd gathered around the burning fire. There was no script, no story and no protagonist. However, it is clear that theatre happens in a particular and a designated place, which in modern times, consists of an auditorium for the viewers and a stage for the action to happen. Now the stage can be any place; a piece of land in the field, a street corner, arising on the hill side, a raised mound somewhere, in front of a temple or a church or a wooden floor raised to some height, theatre is possible as long as there are actors and audience. |
