Entertaiment can be personal – from listening to music that speaks to the soul, or taking a partner on a romantic date, to preparing a feast for two. It can also involve activities that were once practical and life-saving, such as cooking or fencing, now recast as spectator sports, often global events. Many entertainment forms have the capacity to cross over into different media, as demonstrated by stories like Scheherazade, a tale from the Persian professional storytelling tradition, which has inspired orchestral works, films and even innovative video games.
