/lit/ - Literature

First they said /lit/ was for plays, and I didn't speak out because I enjoy reading plays.
Then they said /lit/ was for movies, and I didn't speak out because I enjoy watching movies.
Then they said /lit/ was for vidya, and I didn't speak out because I enjoy playing vidya.
Then it came to me, that /lit/ is now /v/.

Nah but plays are alright. I don't know many, but I've been meaning to read 'Tis Pity She's a Whore sometime soon. I wish I followed theaters in my area more closely as it's been a while since I've seen a performance of anything, really.

Not to derail the topic with my ignorance (tho apparently Harold Bloom said something about Hamlet's play within a play being a way of containing the power the Dane because Shakespeare felt he was becoming more powerful than he could handle, more powerful than Shakespeare himself. I dunno what that really means and I don't know if it applies here but it's alls I've got), but as much as there is no 'normal' path to becoming any sort of artist, what do people study now to become playwrights? There are plenty of classes on screenwriting and creative writing and so on, but it seems like theater schools treat writing as something secondary.
