Making Nice presents a disgruntled, dictatorial director, a harried cast and an ill-fated production of Cymbeline that quickly descends into farce and folly. Soon the problems begin to avalanche: the show’s horse looks like a mutated camel; the lead gets a rampant case of the giggles; the understudy doesn’t know her lines; disaster follows disaster, and Barbara (the director) isn’t even allowed to yell.
Making Nice was first presented at Hartford High School in Hartford, VT, on 19 February 1998.
