The word entertainment is closely associated with amusement and play, although many entertainments have a more serious purpose. The scale of entertainment can be personal, a couple choosing from the many pre-recorded products available for private entertainment, to performances intended for a large audience or even a global audience on television. Entertainments can evolve and cross over from one medium to another – the story of Scheherazade, from the Persian professional storytelling tradition, has been inspiring composers such as Rimsky-Korsakov, Ravel and Szymanowski; film directors including Pasolini, and has also provided the basis for innovative video games.
