Found this far too overwritten and busy on the page, making it a hard read. You even overwrite the directions for cast and costume! Some of it was like being hit over the head with a hammer, it was so blunt.

It was also rather wearing to read this kind of pastiche at such length. A short comedy, a one acter, yes, but this just seems to go on forever.

Also, I'd just like to say that, if you are seriously aiming for the stage, starting your script with a statement that it is a screenplay is not a good idea!!!

Sorry can't be more positive.
