And, of course, it is much cheaper to go to the cinema<br />(<B>3</B>) <Gap><Score num="1" />than</Gap> the theatre, and you can always buy the DVD later.

In the live theatre, real people go through real emotions – and the audience shares them. We remember the story of a film, but we remember the <I>experience</I> of the theatre.
