God, wow, this is brilliant. The language is lovely, and the story is captivating. At times, though, the story is problematic—they really need a stage manager. The way theatre is studied here is wildly unsafe and unrealistic. It’s distracting that some crucial theatre technicalities are incorrect or omitted. These characters, though, accurately play their parts and are incredibly lovable.
