Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

There is a story about one film studio deciding to economize by leaving out the score. It backfired badly, audiences were laughing out loud at the star trying to convey all these powerful emotions. They quickly banged in a score, and it did a lot better. These things matter.

As for the confusion bit, fizzygeek and I agree with you. We went to see one of
the permanent Cirque shows in Vegas ("Kà"), and it opened with a little monologue explaining the story. Which we found somewhat insulting, and detracted from our enjoyment.
