Entertaiment has evolved to encompass an enormous range of experiences and activities. These may be as intimate as a couple choosing their private entertainment from an ever growing array of pre-recorded products; as lavish as a banquet adapted for two; or as large as a performance intended for thousands. The connections between different forms of entertainment are illustrated by the way a story such as Scheherazade, from the Persian professional storytelling tradition, can inspire a retelling in a range of media: composers Rimsky-Korsakov and Ravel each wrote an orchestral work; director Pasolini made a film adaptation and there is now an innovative video game.
