Where Did Theater Go? Crash Course Theater #18

[@carenzaprice5074]

‘How can you THEATRE, at a time like THIS?’ Iconic

[@isamekailmahmud9302]

Carenza Price won't having fun improve moral

[@GeektoStudios]

Theatre is corrupting the youths. Will no one think of the children? What is old is new again. The Charleston. Rock n Roll. Juke boxes. Video games. The internet. Omg, some things never change.

[@tessat338]

Not to mention the wicked waltz, furious foxtrot and sinful tango!

[@josecolon7267]

Them ankles tho...

[@margaret9209]

I really enjoy this series so much. Thank you all for making it.

[@DuluthTW]

Mike, you perform these videos very well. Thanks for sharing!

[@ariellakahan-harth8831]

Ah yes, Charles II. The king who brought back partying!

[@chris7263]

C'mon man, when English protestants criticize something for being "popish" they're not saying it's too religious. They're saying it's too *Catholic.* Europe was big into fighting over that for a while. I know this isn't about religious history, but it seems misleading to frame it the way you do here.

[@Thindorama]

Chris Sanders In fact arguably the Protestants were more religious as they cared more about inner feeling and that kind of nonsense over worldly wealth and valid things like Renaissance popes sometimes did. The Renaissance popes left a lot more value for rational people.

[@KieranGarland]

Such a great series. Thank you many millions of times x

[@JenCoYT]

I just want each episode to last forever

[@cholten99]

Restoration comedy is the best - the kind of spoken wit in things like The Country Wife is my favourite kind of all dialogue (Aaron Sorkin aside). What I'd like to know is what's being going on elsewhere all this time. We had some good episode on places outside of Europe early on - it'd be interesting what they were up to by the 17th century.

[@PumpkinBecki]

We once went to an open air production of Romeo and Juliet, just as it went into the interval a huge storm blew in, and the 2nd half had to be cancelled...it was quite nice though, because it ended with Romeo and Juliet happy and in love 😁😍🎟💕👫

[@cenedra20]

How can you THEATER at a time like THIS?!😂

[@morganbawtree]

Aww I love mushrooms!

[@breeholland9173]

THEATER WILL LIVE

[@SimsMusicals]

I love that What We Do in the Shadows reference ;)

[@robertbilling6266]

Saw Maggie Smith in The Country Wife at Chichester years ago. Sheer brilliance!

[@Themistocles1993]

And here I was thinking modern day light novel titles were long...

[@JosephDavies]

Or Star Trek: Discovery episode titles...

[@vittoriahawksworth8117]

For some reason, “The country wife” reminds me of Macchiavelli’s Mandragola (Mandrake)...

Theatre never dies

[@quinius173]

Great video!

[@JenCoYT]

Haven't been waiting patiently for this or anything ...

[@johnmichaelcule8423]

There are people who hate mushrooms? The things you learn on Crash Course.

[@lakrids-pibe]

I would love to hear more about Molière

[@TheAndresfardila]

1:16 the face of Mike xD

[@tiagoanchiieta]

What word he says he 12:38? Moody? Money as in the subtitles? But it doesn't make sense to me.

[@AshesChild]

It's "smutty".

[@geoffreywinn4031]

Cool video!

[@marni_dissociates6931]

Are you planning on making a crash course music theory/history?

[@karlsmith403]

To the comment about Plato writing in dialogue form, does anyone else think that Plato was probably a failed playwright, which in turn made him bitter toward theatre?

[@BigBoss-sm9xj]

Reminds me of how gaming is viewed in the news! Some things never change

[@BrianHutzellMusic]

1:29 But I love mushrooms!

[@katywirz777]

could you please make some videos on Ben Jonson`s early modern comedies?

[@TrekkieBrie]

Can you guys PLEASE make a crash course climatology/meteorology

[@wannabemua4729]

Omg I'm trying to do the worksheettttt

[@sara_sah-raezzat5086]

Aphra Ben really deserved more than a brief mention.

[@t.k.abrams4720]

I swear I watched this video already

[@sahilchaudhary7779]

Hey dude please make a video on the " Online Editor" I know Editor but now a days I see in the video credit end Online Editor... So please tell me about Online Editor...

[@madalee_com]

If you haven't heard it before, you should listen to Monty Pythons Oliver Cromwell song.

[@tereziamarkova2822]

You mentioned Aphra Behn! *fans self* But no mention of my girl Nell Gwyn, sadly. What a shame.

[@samuelwalters7721]

nell gwyn wuz hot

[@keltonhoffmeyer3527]

*D E M O N O T I Z E D*

[@Celeste-in-Oz]

i had no idea the history of theatre was so dramatic

[@bommelyon]

Why is the intro so muted in this series? Otherwise great as usual! :)

[@oldcowbb]

is that where the word "horny" comes from?

[@d_wang9836]

Student's probably hate theater almost as much as these 1600s people

[@Joeviocoe]

Was that vladislav the poker in the thought bubble?

[@amberallen7809]

The Puritans are the reason I hated the first month or so of any American literature class I had to take. The joke's on them though, because one of the most famous plays in American theater history is about them (The crucible)

[@HeleenvdD]

Hey! I am a drama student, and would love to read some of the original plays and sources on theatre. Is there a list of sources used, that I can find somewhere?

[@womacks8675309]

Mike!

[@srwapo]

No, I'm pretty sure I loathe Trump as much as Puritans hated plays.

[@yeetusthefetusthencommitse204]

Ah a fellow liberal so few of us nowadays

[@Elfos64]

This series is sure taking its sweet time about getting around to Japanese theater. I hope they eventually talk about LARPing, which should be considered a form of theater.

[@CapriUni]

Well, (14th C.) Japanese theater was the focus of episode 11 of this series. Perhaps they'll get back to it with more modern forms?

[@xiedana]

i refreshed the page and there was only 1 extra comment..

[@Dayglodaydreams]

Zwingli isn't innocent here.

[@josephyml]

ANKLES????

[@allykat5899]

Oh puritans you just ruin everything!

[@ttru]

I'm surprised that Crash Course made a lesson on theatre. :D

[@ianrbuck]

I think I'm going to have to read The Country Wife now...

[@TomSistermans]

Wait wait wait.... You skipped the rise of opera in Italy for the sake of theatre banning in the United Kingdom?? Come on!

[@TomSistermans]

nomeutente61 I really hope so, Monteverdi is quite an interesting person! Or at least what lead up to Monteverdi... Instead they just mentioned English opera was accidentally kickstarted without mentioning the intriguing history that lead to opera in Italy in the first place...

[@ms.rstake_1211]

Am I top 10? Love this show. 😊

[@tcdoesstuff]

I'm two minutes in and it feels like how anime, movies, KZbin is treated, lol

[@rchuso]

I'm pixilated by the pixelation; where's that promised lewdness in video?

[@lemonslisterine1862]

Idea for next video: Where did John Green go?

[@94soleh]

I thought he said play dough 🙈

[@esejsnake1503]

I thought you said "playdough" instead of Plato 😂

[@Dayglodaydreams]

Theater history is about as interesting as Film History or History of Science; meaning quite interesting.

[@numeroseis]

will it there be an episode on Wagner???? please!??

[@bhumitchauhan5370]

3rd commentor

[@anagjini7111]

Puritans talk about plays like old (very)religious people talk about the internet and/or video games.

[@aperson22222]

Why are mushrooms on the screen for "Think of the thing you hate most in the world"? They're perfectly inoffensive.

[@BaldingClamydia]

To you, maybe. I'm sure it's his hated item. Also, mushrooms are not tasty. :P

[@yangashi]

First theater, then was TV, later was Metal music, and now is video games. History is full of haters.

[@ianalvord3903]

Theater? I hardly knew her.

[@tylernoah4524]

The republic isn’t about the perfect society. It is a representation of the soul so that he could talk about metaphysics in a more understandable way.

[@thecastle09]

🤢🤢

[@partialintegral]

In dialogue form but in prose, so.. what's the problem with his dislike of poetry? I know you postmodernists tend to make no distinction between truth and imagination, but please stop that, it's not witty.

[@PennyDreadful1]

Maybe it was intended more as commentary on Plato's dislike of theatre?
