C: so, are you enjoying the performance so far?
A: well, the costumes and the set are marvellous, but the acting is a bit stiff. What do you think?
C: 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.
A: do you know anyone in the play?
C: actually, the woman playing Ophelia is a past classmate of mine.
A: really? Is that why you wanted to come to the play?
C: that's only part of it. I absolutely adore this director. Every play he works on turns out great.
A: so you've seen other plays that he's directed?
C: 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?
A: sure, I'd love to meet the cast! Have you ever been in a play?
C: I've never had a part in a play before, but I used to be a part of the stage crew in high school.
A: what did you do?
C: I helped build the sets and find props for the plays. What about you?
A: I once helped out with costumes, but I didn't enjoy it very much.
C: why not?
A: I spent over three weeks sewing sequins on a coat.
C: 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.
