When have you ever before heard of a Broadway opening on your computer screen? You have now. And maybe not for the last time, writes Chris Jones nce upon a time, there were movies, television and theatre. And we all knew the diff erence between Othem. Movies were what you saw on a Saturday night with popcorn in your lap. Television was something you watched in your living room or bedroom, several nights a week.

Each had their own labour unions (SAG, AFTRA and Actors’ Equity) and awards shows (Oscars, Emmys and Tonys). Writers would specialise in one branch even if dreaming of another.
