"Han forlod skuespillerne under forestillingen."

Translation: He left the actors during the performance.

Play - is probably interchangeable with performance

[orfeocookie]

No, it's not interchangeable. You can perform other things besides a play. A comedy revue, for example.

[Regrets]

Just as show should be accepted as well.

Hvad er forskellen på "forestilling" og "optræden"? Tak

[jem219]

Skuespillerne could mean actresses as well as actors, right?

[RyanSorens07]

Yes, it is a gender-neutral term

[GnterSchap]

Why was the sentence not given as "Han efterlod skuespillerne under forestillingen" ?? I have read that "forlade" is used when no people/things left behind and "efterlade" when someone goes and the others stay behind.
