The Bulgarian representative responded with the flowing statement:

We have been in alliance with not only St. Eugene School, but also their various business associates over the past 18 years. We believe it is in the best interest of the people of Bulgaria and The Great Ottoman Empire that we shall employ extreme amounts of electric current through the testicles of not only those responsible for this disaster, but also the students themselves.

I guess it was alright. When watching their performances you never expect anything mind-blowing. The performers looked tired and the story was pretty bland...no real laughs. I only fell asleep once. I rate this play 3/5.
