For answer of these questions, physiologists who have studied theatre audiences are agreed that the very act of sitting close together and watching a tragedy unifies the spectators makes them more sympathetic to one another makes of so many different individuals a body of kinsmen. In theatre the danger is simulated but if the theme of the play is such that it touches the audience's life and if the characters are so drawn from life that the audience recognizes them or identifies with them the effect on the audience is almost as if real danger had threatened them during the performance. This paper is based on impact of theatre and drama on society

For answer of these questions, physiologists who have studied theatre audiences are agreed that the very act of sitting close together and watching a tragedy unifies the spectators makes them more sympathetic to one another makes of so many different individuals a body of kinsmen. In theatre the danger is simulated but if the theme of the play is such that it touches the audience's life and if the characters are so drawn from life that the audience recognizes them or identifies with them the effect on the audience is almost as if real danger had threatened them during the performance.
