Delightful, Intelligent, Thought-provoking, Clever, Refreshing

See it if You enjoy thoughtful and clever one act plays. The King of Spain's Daughter was particularly interesting.

Don't see it if You want a single narrative with a conclusive ending. These plays were short stories with less of an sharp ending.
