In the broadest sense, entertainment is anything that enables a person or group to relax. This can range from a solo activity like reading or making art, to a social event like dinner for two or a party, to performances designed for thousands or even global audiences. What is entertaining for one individual or group may not be for another, but the same themes and images and structures can cross over into different media. For example, the story of Scheherazade from professional Persian storytelling tradition has been adapted as an orchestral work by composers such as Rimsky-Korsakov, Ravel and Szymanowski, into a film by Pasolini and into innovative video games.
