Dialogue A
A:Morris, how did you enjoy the play?
B:Not too bad so far. But seriously, the leading lady seems a little stiff. I don't know whether she doesn't know how to act or whether it's just because she's a movie star;it see ms that she doesn't exert herself enough.
A:What did you think of the love scene?
B:Both the leading man and woman acted as if they were bored to death with each other.
A:Do you know why?They're married in real life,but they're going to get a divorce soon.
B:Are you kidding?
A:Of course not. It's all here in the gossip columns. I just read it yesterday. I always read reviews about a show be-fore going to it.
Dialogue B
A:You don't like our plays, do you?
B:No,not really. I prefer straight plays. This one is very dull,and the production isn't very satisfactory, either.
A:You're absolutely right. I think the acting could be better.
B:To be fair,though,both the costumes and scenery are marvellous.
A: Well, I don't like the men's costumes, but the women's dresses are lovely.
B: Who's the actor who plays the doctor?
A:That's Frederick Veal. He was in a movie I saw last week. He played the hero, but I didn't like that either.
B:Well, we'd better go to a comedy next time. I think the musical comedy we saw last month was very good.
A:Yeah, they had constant changes of scenes, and I love variety.
B:Me,too. I hate to sit there and look at the same stage scenery one act after another.
