Question
[110]. Read the following passage carefully:
Passage: "Street theatre needs no hall, ticket or curtain. A group of actors gathers at a market corner, beats a drum to draw a crowd, and performs a short play about dowry, cleanliness or the importance of voting. The audience stands in a circle, laughs, interrupts and sometimes answers the actors back, so the play changes slightly at every show. Because the performance is free and in the local language, people who never enter a theatre watch it on their way home. Street theatre's power lies in this closeness: it does not lecture from a stage but argues with the crowd, in the crowd's own place and words." What is the main idea of the passage?
Option 2 : Street theatre's power lies in performing in the crowd's own place and language, arguing with the audience rather than lecturing from a stage.
