Interesting article about a play with a title like a women's magazine and a cover picture to match, on fine sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. As the hook seems to be what you want to say, I approve it. - A few suggestions for the article, and in general:

• Don't have any pic next to the Roles table. It may look fine on large devices but on smaller ones it shrinks the table to many lines for each item.
• Don't have any image size larger than upright=1.3, because more can't be displayed (any larger) on mobile devices.
• In the plot, say once more that Victoria is that widow, - not all readers read sequentially, and her name is not even in the lead, just the image caption.
• You will guess what I'd suggest in order to avoid the impression that the article is about a woman ;)

The review that impressed me most was "fun of the choicest sort, quiet fun". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:53, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
