This is a great play to take part in. The dialogue can be tough in places and there are a lot of stage directions which can make it difficult to direct, however there is nothing more fun and challenging then being a grown up learning to act like a 7 year old child! Some funny and witty lines and overall it is a fun play to perform in! Very challenging play. One of my favourite plays.
