Popular entertainment dates back to prehistoric times, when dancing, music and stories were very important. Entertainment traditions began in ancient Greece about 2500 years ago. In those days, festivals were organized to congratulate Dionysus, the Greek god of wine and new life, with songs and dances. There were two forms of classical Greek drama - tragedy and comedy. The Romans continued the traditions of Greece and developed other types of entertainment. The beginning of the circus is associated with gladiators fighting in public arenas. In the Middle Ages, the church considered entertainment and dramas to be wrong, but dramas returned again with religious and moral plays. During the Renaissance, the theater became less religious and there was a new interest in Greek and Roman drama. At first, the actors had no text, only the idea of improvisation ruled them. They usually performed on high platforms in public places. The actors were offered entertainment, which included plays, songs and dances. The golden age of the theater began when the first special theaters were built. The first of these theaters was opened in London in 1652. Currently, people entertain themselves by listening to music, watching television programs, movies and videos, going to concerts and circus shows.
