2-- well, the costumes and the set are marvellous, but the acting is a bit stiff. What do you think?
1-- I think you're being a little critical. The actor in the lead role is fantastic. I suppose the chorus could be a bit better, though.
2-- do you know anyone in the play?
1-- actually, the woman playing Ophelia is a past classmate of mine.
2-- really? Is that why you wanted to come to the play?
1-- that's only part of it. I absolutely adore this director. Every play he works on turns out great.
2-- so you've seen other plays that he's directed?
1-- quite a few actually. By the way, after the play, there's always a big party for the cast and their friends. My friend has invited us. Do you want to go?
2-- sure, I'd love to meet the cast! Have you ever been in a play?
1-- I've never had a part in a play before, but I used to be a part of the stage crew in high school.
2-- what did you do?
1-- I helped build the sets and find props for the plays. What about you?
2-- I once helped out with costumes, but I didn't enjoy it very much.
1-- why not?
2-- I spent over three weeks sewing sequins on a coat.
1-- that sounds kind of boring. Oh, look. They're dimming the lights. I think we should get back to our seats for the second half of the play.
