[11:54.60]The last reading.
[11:57.02]Theatre
[11:58.66]In many parts of the world, "going to the theatre" is seen as an activity
[12:03.88]which only a very few people do.
[12:08.23]"Theatre" is not often seen as being a pastime that many ordinary people do.
[12:15.20]Ordinary people watch TV, or go to the cinema,
[12:19.43]or go out to eat with friends.
[12:23.29]The theatre is for rich, upper-class intellectuals.
[12:27.83]Like a lot of obvious remarks, there is some truth in this.
[12:33.24]Theatre tickets are quite expensive.
[12:36.72]They cost more than cinema tickets.
[12:40.45]Theatres which show new plays are usually only in big cities.
[12:46.75]However, even though this is true,
[12:50.11]there are a lot of theatre companies who are challenging this idea.
[12:55.27]And the way they are challenging this idea is by working with schools.
[13:00.44]In the UK, many theatre companies now have an "educational department".
[13:07.22]They go into schools and help students to understand and enjoy the plays they do.
