The new play, Sunflower Sunset, opened at the Westwood Playhouse last night. A lot of effort went into this production. The actors _____(1) for months, and an elaborate set was constructed.
Unfortunately, this effort could not save the dull dialogue. It was easy to see that the _____(2) was bored - snoring was heard throughout the theater, and many people left before the end of the play.
The actors made a fine effort with their _____(3), but the best acting in the world cannot save a poorly written play.
