Introductory text
London Theatre
(description)
Going to the theatre is a
way of spending an evening
which may be most entertaining.
The theatre plays an important part in the life of an Englishman. Theatres are very much the same in London as anywhere else. The chief theatres are in the West End. if you are standing in London for a few days you will have no difficulty whatever in finding somewhere to spend an enjoyable evening. You will find opera, ballet, comedy, drama, musical comedy and variety. Performances start at about eight or half past and run for some three hours including intervals.
At the West End theatres you can see most of the famous English actors and actresses, and a well-dressed audience. As a rule, the plays are staged well. Choose a good play and you will enjoy yourself from the moment the curtain goes up to the end of the last act.
Some theatres stage modern plays, Shakespeare and other classics are mostly played at “Old Vic” opera and ballet are staged at the Royal Opera House, formerly Covent Garden. You ought to go there at least once during the season if you can.
Get your seat beforehand either at the box-office of the theatre itself or at one of the agenoies. Sometimes you can get tickets just before the show begins, otherwise – if there are no tickets left – the ‘Sold Out’ sign is posted over the box-office.
Seats in the theatres are expensive. This makes the theatrical art in Britain more or less the privilege of the rich.
When you go to a theatre, you will probably want to sit as near to the stage as possible, but in the orchestra-stalls, in the dress-circle and in the upper circle. Then comes the pit where the view is not so good, and last of all the gallery, where the seats are cheapest. Boxes, of course, are the most expensive.
At the entrance to the theatre an attendant in uniform tears your theatre ticket in half. He gives you your half back so that you can find you seat by its number.
Inside the theatre you leave your overcoat in the cloak-room, where the attendant can also provide you with opera glasses.
In fact, not all London theatres have got cloak-rooms. What is to be done with a coat on a cold night then? You simply throw it over the back of your seat, the same as everybody else does.
Another attendant (usher) shows you to your seat and sells you a programme that will tell you the cast, which parts the actors are playing and how many acts there are in the play. Then you take your seat. All around you people are setting down into their seats talking, reading their programmes, passing chocolates. Everybody is excited looking forward to the play. The warning bell rings to tell everyone that the play is about to begin. Slowly the lights begin to come up on the stage.
