In Brave New World it provides a Great Work of Writing slot instead of a Specialist slot.

== Trivia ==
* Ancient Greek theatres were built to a semicircular plan, with tiered seating above a performance area. Ancient Roman amphitheatres were oval or circular in plan, with seating tiers that surrounded the central performance area, like a modern open-air stadium.
* The modern usage of "amphitheater" does not always respect the ancient usage, and so the word can embrace theatre-style stages with the audience only on one side, theatres in the round, and stadiums.
* Natural formations shaped like man-made theatres or amphitheatres are sometimes known as natural amphitheatres.
