So , are you enjoying the performance so far ?   Well , the costumes and the set are marvellous , but the acting is a bit stiff . What do you think ?   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 .   Do you know anyone in the play ?   Actually , the woman playing Ophelia is a past classmate of mine .   Really ? Is that why you wanted to come to the play ?   That's only part of it . I absolutely adore this director . Every play he works on turns out great .   So you've seen other plays that he's directed ?   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 ?   Sure , I'd love to meet the cast ! Have you ever been in a play ?   I've never had a part in a play before , but I used to be a part of the stage crew in high school .
