PLAYING TO THE GODS

Domain	Definition
Literature	Playing to the Gods Degrading one's vocation ad captanduin vulgus. The gods, in theatrical phrase, are the spectators in the uppermost gallery, the ignobile vulgus. The ceiling of Drury Lane theatre was at one time painted in imitation of the sky, with Cupids and other deities here and there represented. As the gallery referred to was near the ceiling, the occupants were called the gods. In French this gallery is nick-named paradis. Source: Brewer's Dictionary.
