We absolutely loved and enjoyed this play, so original, so funny, with fantastic actors. Hats off to the entire technical team for their exceptional stage set-up (and tear-down!!!). A huge bravo to all of you and thank you so much for this moment of pure happiness. Do not change a thing: everything is just perfect.
