    “Just a wrapper” is tropey drive-by grump, not a constructive critique. “Your face is just a wrapper” is as true and as boring.

    Right but modern theatre is pretty new itself. The number of people involved in performance for the enjoyment of others has spiked, err, dramatically. My point is that making this type argument seems to invariably involve picking some narro
