1. 4. Weekly rep
Read the text and find out what “rep” means.
The heart of the acting world in Britain is still "rep". Repertory, to give it its proper name, is the system of having the same group of actors acting in different plays.
There are over 200 theatres in Britain that work on this system, though most of them close for some months in the winter. Wales and the south-west of England have very few theatres, but there are rep theatres spread out over the rest of Britain.
Actors in rep perform one play in the evening, and they rehearse the next play in the morning and afternoon. Sunday is the only day they have for any sort of relaxation—and then they usually have to wash their clothes (after six days of makeup and dirty stages), and make sure that they've learnt their lines.
On Monday morning, they all meet to make sure that the furniture and scenery are ready for the new play. On Monday afternoon they have the dress rehearsal, and the producer makes the last changes and suggestions. Then there is just time for a quick meal before the curtain rises for the first performance.
On Tuesday morning, they start rehearsing Act 1 of next week's play.
Nearly all the famous British actors and actresses, both old and new, started in theatres like this. All rep companies include several young people, who are paid very little and work very hard. They have to help look after the stage and scenery, as well as acting in each play. But it's the best way of learning about the acting world.
Outside the ordinary theatre world of reps and successful plays are the theatre clubs. They charge a membership fee for one year or more, so that then they don't have to worry too much about attracting audiences. As a result, they can put on new and experimental plays.
