From: Sabrina Clark

Subject: Play

Hi Jack,

I just saw that play that opened recently at the City Theater. You really ought to see it, too. I know you would enjoy the experience. The play combines _____ (16) from both comedy and drama, so it’s funny, but it also has an important message. Some people say this play is boring because there isn’t a lot of action, but I think the _____ (17) is very creative. The actors say some really funny lines. The whole performance is superb; you can tell that the actors rehearsed a long time before the play opened. You should call the theater today to get a ticket because they will probably sell _____ (18) soon. Let me know how you like the play.

Part 7 Reading Comprehension

Audiences have waited a long time for the opening of the play Dusk to Dawn at the City Theater. Unfortunately. the long wait only adds to the disappointment of seeing a mediocre play, It is an uncomfortable experience from start to finish. The action is slow and the dialogue boring. The performance by most of the cast is awkward and, on the night I attended at least. many of the actors forgot their lines They obviously did not rehearse enough before opening night. The plot is trite. Theatregoers had been told to expect a fresh approach to the age-old boy-meets-girl romance story. Instead, we get a story that is dull enough to drive one to tears. Although the play is relatively short—under two hours—the performance is so tedious it seems to drag on for three or four hours. The audience made an audible sigh of relief when the final curtain dropped. Rather than the predicted sold out performances, I expect that the play will close very shortly. Unfortunately, the producers invested a lot of money in this play, which they are not likely to get back. My advice to would-be theatregoers: spend the weekend at the movies instead.

What is the reviewer’s opinion of the play?

How long is the play?
