Entertainment is something that can be done on any scale, from an individual choosing private entertainment on the modern wide range of pre-recorded products to banquets adapted for two, through to performances designed for thousands and even for a global audience. The power of some forms of entertaiment to attract people is shown by the way they inspire retellings in another medium – for example, composers such as Rimsky-Korsakov, Ravel and Szymanowski turned Scheherazade into orchestral works; Pasolini made a film adaptation; and it has also inspired a innovative video game.
