5 Going to the theatre

The theatre has always been very strong in Britain. Its centre is, of course, London, where successful plays can sometimes run without a break for many years. But every large town in the country has its theatres. Even small towns often have 'repertory' theatres, where different plays are performed for short periods by the same group of professional actors.

It seems that the conventional format of the theatrical play gives the undemonstrative British people a safe opportunity to look behind the mask of accepted social behaviour. The country's most successful and respected рlауwrights are usually those who explore the darker side of the personality and of personal relationships (although often through comedy).

British theatre has such a fine acting tradition that Hollywood is forever raiding its talent for people to star in films. British television does the same thing. Moreover, Broadway, when looking for its next blockbuster musical, pays close attention to London productions. In short, British theatre is much admired. As a consequence, it is something that British actors are proud of. Many of the most well-known television actors, though they might make most of their money in this latter medium, continue to see themselves as first and foremost theatre actors.

conventional - звичний	undemonstrative - стриманий	рlауwright - драматург
as a consequence - як наслідок	production - постановка	first and foremost - насамперед

Greg:	What would you like to do this weekend?
Mrs. Webster:	Oh, I don't know. It'd be nice to see a play or maybe a musical.
Mona:	If we can get tickets.
Greg:	That may be a problem. Well, let's check the paper and see what there is... let's see, movies are on page 19, section 2, of The Times. Can you check that out?
Mona:	Sure.
Greg:	Here's the theatre section of the advertisements... Oh, there's a performance of Rigoletto
	tomorrow night, and they apparently still have tickets.
Mr. Webster:	Going to the opera is a little too fancy for me.
Mona:	Oh, dad, you don't have to dress up anymore. You can wear just about anything you want to these days.
Mrs. Webster:	I'd rather see a musical, I think.
Mona:	Mmm, that sounds good. I've never seen it.
Mr. Webster:	But we should see something on stage while we're here in the city.
Greg:	Well, I'll just call some box offices downtown and see what the ticket situation is.
Mr. Webster:	Sure, that's a good idea. And while you're doing that, I I'll check the TV schedule.
