It’s not all about this really entertaining story or the twisting plot, although they are very funny - no - it is all about the participation from your students.
Two antique dealers try to fool customers by passing off fake artifacts as real, but this time it is them who are made to be the fools! Revenge comes when they try to con someone who’s quick thinking turns the tables on these two unscrupulous dealers.
This very amusing play can only be performed with the help of the audience who will help the actors in various ways during the performance.
