The West End theatre district in London is the best place to watch a professional play, but acting also takes place in every school and village hall across the country. There are over 2,500 non-professional drama groups in the UK today and they are an active part of community life. People from all walks of life take on acting roles in addition to their regular jobs. They do it for fun, for the love of acting and as a way to meet new people. Not everyone in a drama club is a skilled actor, but enthusiasm is considered to be more important than talent. Friends, family members and neighbours enjoy getting together to watch the final performance and telling the people they know to “break a leg (走运)”. Its a great way of bringing communities together. Also, in many rural parts of Britain, non-professional theatre is the only chance people have to see plays for miles around. Many people get a taste for acting at school. Every school puts on a play at least once per year, usually at Christmas, and parents love coming to watch their children perform. Any British person surely has happy memories of being in their schools Christmas play, whether they played the role of Mary or Joseph or perhaps even a sheep or a donkey. Another Christmas theatre tradition is the pantomimes (舞剧), which are a type of musical comedy for families. The audience is encouraged to participate in the performance—singing along with the music and shouting to the actors. Pantomimes are really fun to watch, especially for children. British people love going to the theatre, professional or not, and many of them also enjoy performing. If you have the chance, go and see a play in the UK. 【语篇解读】　文章介绍了英国的非专业戏剧的表演的情况。 1．What is the passage mainly about? A. Reasons why British people love plays. B.
