Has film made plays obsolete?
Much less relevant, especially since great plays tended to have film adaptations, although not obsolete. Great stage actors will always have an audience for the same reason that even though music is recorded now, concerts still attract an audience
>>24927970No. The magic of film lies in the editing, whereas theater shines when it's playing up to the live audience. Brainlets reduce audience participation to mere laugh tracks when it's a hell of a lot more than that.

>>24927970Yes but the wealthy still love to pretend that they love the stage. More because it's a place to be seen and to be seen as cultured and as a patron of the arts, and increasingly as a supporter of woke faggotry. I don't think Fagway is dying anytime soon, especially with the rich displacing working class people in Manhattan, and everything is downstream of that. As long as they pretend to care, little girls and boys that want to be little girls will dream of putting their gay, critical theory bullshit on a stage for the whole world to ignore except rich fags who have nothing better to spend their money on on a Thursday night.
>>24927970dasha curse strikes again
>>24927975Plays and film aren't really analogous to concerts and recordings. A concert is more like a film adaptation in a lot of ways.
>>24927970I'd like to say no, but in large part: yes.I love reading plays though, and writing them too. I know they'll never be performed so I write them in a way that they're more suited to being read than watched (which usually means having a bit more fun with the stage directions, but there are other methods too)
holy zest'

>>24927970Sheeeeeeeiiiitttttt
When I was in NY I was surprised to see Hollywood actors cast in stage plays. They love it, so do audiences. A play done well is a unique experience
>>24927976>when it's a hell of a lot more than that.Which is...?
>>24927970This nigga lookin ZESTY!This nigga lookin MOIST!
No, obviously. Uniqueness of form is uniqueness of story If your play can be a film will it benefit? If yes make film. If no make playNot hard
>>24928736Hollywood actors searching for I’M ACTING legitimacy on Broadway is universally hated by actual theatre actors because they don’g belong and they suck but as you say audiences love stunt casting. You will get poo-pooed if you profess to like this around theatre people.
>>24929723>Hollywood actors searching for I’M ACTING legitimacy on BroadwayIf they do a film that bombs, they go to broadway and get their raw chops back and then there's thinkpieces about how James Franco re-discovered his love of craft from Shakespeare.
>>24927970In a way yes but I don't think they're totally dead. I think if theater wants to survive as an art form it needs to look to eastern forms like kabuki, Chinese opera, Ramayana plays or ancient Greco Roman theater that had many elements that make it hard to translate to film. Things like elaborate costumes and makeup, exaggerated movements and speech, maybe some form of singing, etc. I guess Broadway musicals do kind of tick those boxes but its such a shitty plebian feminized cringe worthy form of story telling. There's also opera but I think other than Wagner and Mozart's stuff they're not much better.
Bumping because this is an interesting topic and fucktard jannies deleted the OP pic
>>24931307They should've deleted the whole faggoty thread
>>24929745How are the musicals cringe? Can you even name one Japanese musical?
>>24931454>How are the musicals cringe?They just are faggot I'm not gonna explain it to you.
