The actors were perfectly believable, the timing was great, and the comedic relief was light and refreshing! The sets were great, but the set changes were incredible! Coordinated like a dance and even that was interesting to watch. Everyone was in character every second of the play no matter where they were, it was a great use of space, and truly entertaining.
