Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
At the turn of the 18th century, audience were ready to go over the top, and get some really, really dramatic theater in their lives. Like, a dog dueling a man type of dramatic. In London, only two theaters were licensed, but entertainment entrepreneurs figured out that musical entertainments weren't subject to the same restrictions. So, incidental music was invented, and the melodrama was born. And then switched with another infant. And later tied to train tracks, but rescued at the last minute. And so forth

Yay! The Astor Place Riot is next! I wrote a play about that a few years aback. And while doing my research, I found out I was hardly the first, so the lesson is that thespians love plays about how dangerous the theater itself is-- a place where humanity from all classes intermingles while new and revolutionary ideas are expressed.

isn't it kinda ironic that the first time someone saved someone else from being tied to a railroad track on stage was a woman who saved a guy. I mean, I saw this scene like a hundred times the other way around.

Why do we learn other languages and instead make the rest of the world learn English because it is the most prominent language. They learn English while we English speakers learn theirs.

Sure, where are all the pronunciation police today? What, if it isn't in Japanese or Hindi, no-one cares? Now I just have to pay attention to the excellent content. You cowards.
