Overview

The cast of the play seem to wear sequined, exceptionally tight clothes, particularly pants. It seems that the play is poorly received, as people have described it as "(too) difficult to put into English", and "the performance that has left critics speechless". Morgan Merryweather seems to genuinely enjoy the play, as he calls into K-Chat to talk to Maginot when he is being interviewed on the station.
