Theatre on stage

I have been watching several movies which depicts the real theatre during the earlier years. Among them are Phantom of the Opera, Shakespeare in Love and Moulin Rouge. Some of the movies are musical, yet I believe that these movies were able to present the real picture of what happened behind the scene and even what happens on stage, during the performance of the play. Besides that, the real settings, the production, the props being used, the lighting arrangements, the curtain falls and how the actors and actresses present themselves on stage, has given me a better understanding of drama, plays and theatre. The whole play, it really was a lot of hard work, from preparing the props, to managing the casts, and finally presenting the play. Theatre is very important and is part of the culture of the people of Rome, France, and England. The involvement of the audience during a particular play will indicate the success of the production. There are not much of these classical theatres being presented these days, and if there is any of such in Malaysia, I would not miss the chance to go and watch one!
