What was a cutpurse and what happens to them at the theater?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A cut-purse is a thief. The modern day name would be a pick-pocket. They were called cut-purses because in the days when people carried their money in a bag (a purse) hung off their belts, the thieves would steell them by cutting the cord attaching the purse to the belt.

Theatres were goo places for cut-purses to operate because they were crowded (people stood rather then sat) and peoples attention was focused on the stage/actors rather than their purses.

What is a speech that an actor delivers to the audience when no one else is on stage?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is not clear enough for us to give a specific answer.

The most likely answer is that it's either an "aside" or a "soliloquy". Both of these are more or less the theatrical equivalent of a "thought balloon" in a comic strip. The other characters on stage generally do not react to these, as they are supposed to represent the private thoughts of the character speaking.

Asides are usually short, often comedic and/or pithy, and directed specifically at the audience, while soliloquies can be long and are intended to represent the character "talking to himself" with no awareness of the audience at all. In other words, asides "break the fourth wall" while soliloquies do not.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well, for one thing do not ask Google or yahoo because they give you really bad answers. So if you really want to know how big the biggest area of a movie theater then go to your local movie theater and measure it and multiply by maybe...4. That would probably be the biggest movie theater.

Sorry that I did not give the exact answer! Could not find it anywhere on the Internet!
