The Duchess agreed.
"Yes. So it is not rare for the plot on opening day and fifty days later, a hundred days later, to be completely different."
Marchioness Schult agreed too. Are all three of them rather well informed?
"So you watch the audience's reaction and the inside of the play changes in various ways?"
When I asked, all three nodded with faces that said of course!
"Because theater is a living thing. Watching the audience and changing it is natural."
"Yes. Theater is something the audience raises."
"It is a combined art of the side that plays and the side that watches, Lord Marie."
Haaa. That kind of feeling.
"Lord Robin says finish, but if you spend money from the start and it fails, what then? All the money you put in is wasted, yes? Then you open the curtain without spending much, watch the audience, and if it is well received you put money into costumes and sets little by little."
