The British people are proud of their theatre. The theatre has always been very strong in Britain. Its centre is, of course, London, where the best plays can sometimes run without a break for many years. Every second town in the country has its theatres. Even small towns often have \'repertory\' theatres, where different plays are performed for short periods by the same group of professional actors. The theatrical format of the theatrical play gives the British people a safe opportunity to look behind the mask of accepted social behaviour. Except for the most famous, theatrical actors themselves have comparatively little public recognition. Broadway producers when looking for the next blockbuster musical or a play, pay close attention to London production.
