I loved this so very much! usually with plays, i enjoy reading them aloud with others much more than i do reading them. however, this felt just as enjoyable to read to myself. it was funny and lighthearted, but at the same time the humour clearly mocked important topics such as societal hierarchies and nepotism. the humour served to highlight the ridiculousness of these topics, therefore making this both a lighthearted yet interesting critical read.
