Подведение итогов

I think you’d agree with me if I said that theatre is a wonderful kind of art.

tell me how theatre influences on our mind.

Theatre educates us, influences our way of life, helps us to solve problems, to find answers to a lot of questions. Theatre carries us away from real life into the world of imagination. But theatre entertains us; it is a place where we can have a good rest. We can enjoy ourselves listening to good music, splendid voices, and seeing the excellent acting of the performers.

“My Fair Lady” is based on G.B. Show’s 1916 play “Pygmalion” and tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, the Cockney flowerseller chosen from the streets by a professor of linguistics and transformed into a lady.
