	theatre - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about theatre
		The idea that Shakespeare's theatre was characterized physically by almost bare stages in small, soberly timbered playhouses must be put aside, and replaced by the image of sumptuously decorated and coloured architecture, and stages occupied by the same utilitarian but impressive scenic emblems that were used in court entertainments and religious and civic pageantry.
		The reopening of the English theatres at the Restoration signalled the triumph of the perspective and proscenium stage, though at first a traditional apron stage protruded in front of the proscenium arch, and two pairs of doors were fitted to allow the actors easy access to the main acting area.
		And while many existing theatres are of 19th-century design, and cannot be satisfactorily modified to accommodate modern theories of staging, numerous theatres have been built in recent years which dispense with the proscenium arch and combine features associated with medieval and Elizabethan stages together with the facilities offered by modern technology.

		I imagined that the focus would be on some tragic and melodramatic incident in the history of the theatre (perhaps, I speculated wildly, this would be a jealous rivalry between two leading actors over a woman, or a spurned prima donna who killed herself).
		"Theatre" certainly feels as though it reached a certain point and then was finished off in a desperate rush.
		Some of the closing scenes are very unfortunate: for example, the appearance of Elizabeth near the end completely spoils the characterisation of her that was established through the journal.
