Acting is properly mid-Atlantic. Each actor and each actress comes across as perfectly cast, which is a testament to each individual's great craft because the pool of actors is limited by the company. The night's cast included Evija Krūze (Margo Channing), Agate Marija Bukša (Eve Harrington), and Daiga Kažociņa (Karen Roberts), alongside mainstays such as Normunds Laizāns ("director") and Egons Dombrovskis ("playwright"), among others.
The game is bigger than you think. The game surprises, catches one unawares, and often disappoints. The part of one that remains unchanged after such surprises is often not the best part.
The world is imperfectly just, imperfectly meritocratic. Taking matters into one's hands by bending the rules to restore justice (typically to one's advantage and typically through deception) may contribute to or subtract from the overall justice.
