READING PRACTICE UNIT SIX 11011 Going Out for the Evening My wife and I go to the theater whenever we can. But before we buy tickets, we like to know if the play is good or bad. When a new play opens, we usually read the review in our newspaper to get information about it. Last week a new comedy opened at the theater. The news- paper story said it was very amusing, so we decided to go on Saturday night. 71 My wife took a long time to make up her mind what to wear and we left our house a little late. By the time we got to the theater, the first act had already begun. We were sorry we missed part of the play, because the rest of it was very funny. The review in the newspaper had been right. It was an extremely entertaining comedy. After the play was over, we met some friends we hadn't seen for a long time. They wanted to go to a night club. It had been many years since my wife and I had gone dancing, but I finally agreed. By the time we got home, it was about two o'clock in the morning. I'm not accus- tomed to staying out so late and I was extremely tired. When I was younger, I didn't have the money to go out for an evening like this. Now that I can afford it, I don't have the energy to really enjoy it.. Questions 1. What do we like to know before we buy tickets to a new play? 2.
