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 .

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 ?
