12. Ratings:
Difficulty: 7
Although this play was fairly easy to read it has a tendency to get rather boring in some spots which requires a lot of concentration.
Enjoyment: 7
This was a very humorous play in my eyes, however I think some people my be turned away by the amount of irony that is portrayed in this play.
