The noise level quieted as the theater lights dimmed. Instantly, all attention focused on the red curtains at the front. At the front, several people looked at the leaflets before them as they whispered to one another.
"Never stopped smiling?"
".....A romance script. Hmm. Good thing it's short."
"Yes, I can't wait for the main play to start."
"This shouldn't be too bad. The standard of the society is quite high. They won't let a bad play pass."
"That's true."
Expectations for the upcoming performance were rather moderate.
Most attention was focused on the last performance and the play that everyone was eagerly awaiting. The upcoming plays were more like appetizers for the main dish.
They expected a certain quality, but nothing that would blow their mind away.
And rightfully so.
The fact that the first play was a romance-based one added to the slight disinterest as some checked their pocket watch.
