Making Logical Assumptions Based on Situations

You must have heard about ancient Greek theatres that became the basis of all theatres. The main feature of ancient theatres was that all the roles in the performances were performed by men. Just imagine that such theatres still exist – women, children, old people are played by men.

One of those theatres might have gone on tour to different states of US. Not everywhere they were met with the same delight. Once they came to the N city. The weather was great so the artists decided to walk around the city dressed up like ladies. They were happy to see the sights of the city and to talk to the residents. They talked about their theater, inviting everyone to attend their performance in the evening and offering to buy tickets. Most residents happily agreed to come because troupes rarely came to them. But there were those who looked at the men in women’s outfit with contempt. The problem of gender inequality might still be existing there. Walking past the bar, “ladies” ran into a drunk company who tried to start a fight. The actors were forced to flee, and when they stopped, they didn’t understand where they were. They must have got lost.

They saw an elderly African American who was working in his garden and turned to him for help. He showed the actors the way to the theater and was rewarded with tickets to the show for him and his family.
