Entertaiment is a large and diverse category that covers activities that entertain individuals or groups of people, from an individual who chooses from the huge range of pre-recorded entertainment available to them; to a couple having a private dinner party with music and dance; to a performance for thousands. The enduring nature of many forms of entertaiment is illustrated by the way that stories such as Scheherazade, which originated in professional storytelling traditions, have inspired composers (Rimsky-Korsakov, Ravel and Szymanowski) and directors (Pasolini and Pasolini) and even innovative video games.
