Entertaiment is the activity of entertaining or being entertained. While the advent of television has altered the availability, cost, variety and quality of entertainment products, the genres of music, theatre, dance and games remain recognisable. For example, the Scheherazade story in the Persian professional storytelling tradition has been adapted to orchestral music by Rimsky-Korsakov and Ravel; into a film by Pasolini; and into innovative video games. The word is often abbreviated to entmt on fliers or in industry news publications where space is at a premium.
