Although the live plays and musicals have a magic, and a strange elusive energy between the audience and
the performers, I agree with the given statement that in the current age of live TV screeninS, there is little
incentive tO go out and see such events. A number of arguments surround my opinion.
undoubtedly, the experience of live performance builds community. There's never going to be anything
like sitting in a theater with hundreds of people around you who value what you value. The appeal of live
performance also provides the excitement of the actor-audience connection in real time' These will keep
the theater from fading away completely no matter how much technology takes over our lives' However,
the TV of today has eroded the influence of live events so much so that the theatre and television have
become competitors.
The main factors in favour of W are the high cost and the limited accessibility of actual live shows. Even if
more people wanted to actually go and watch live shows, the seating capacity is limited. On top of that the
tickets are very costly, especially if you want seats near the stage.
Another thing, which goes in favour of'TV is the lack of time in today's fast-paced world. People also have
to stand in queues and drive distances to watch these shows. One 2-3 hour live show actually takes away a
whole day at times. Despite the fact that people want to experience live shows, such shows have become
once or twice in a lifetime events and that too for those, who have the time and money to do so'
Live television has also many other benefits. You don't need to dress formally. lt can be watched in the
comfort of ones sofa or bed and while doing some other household chores. The focus of the cameras is also
on the main characters, because of which you can in fact get a better view of the actual show'
To conclude, I reiterate my view by saying that while actually going an attendinE a concert or drama is in
itself a unique experience, the live w screen of today has and edge over it all, because it has made arts
