Please answer the following questions:

What examples or reasons does he give for each of these points (above)?

 

Do you think that Dr. Scott has a point? Do you think that theatre still ahs the power to reflect and shape people’s lives? If so/not, why/why not?

 

Lastly, can you think of any film, play, book or song that has moved you in some way, or taught you something about yourself that you may not have previously known? How and why? (You needn’t be too revealing.)
