In romanticism plays played a big role. They took ordinary people and turned them into sometimes fictional characters, making them do theings the probably wouldn'r ordinarily do. As for the audience at the play, the play turned them into ghosts watching the lives of a select few unfold. Many people flocked to plays to watch them unfold. Many plays however only stayed in town about 2 or 3 days, so if you never got to see the play, then you missed out, and your going to have to suffer everyone talking about how good the performances were.
