Yes. I think the title will draw and I think it is fun the we do a parody/spoof of a genre we do every year. I laughed numerous times. I also think it will be fun to do the performance within a performance in the round. I know the first set direction will need to be done differently, but it is doable and a fun challenge for the director and designer. Plus, artists will be excited to do a Stoppard piece.
I love this script. I saw a production of this recently that was very well received by the audience. Tom Stoppard is a draw.
Fun was my reaction both times we read this play. Once I figured out that Moon and Birdboot could be seated in 'box seats,' I was able to fully enjoy reading the script.
The first time we read this script it was combined with After Magritte.
My vote is yes.
Samuel French has this as a 60 minute one act, so we might want to consider a companion piece. But it is a very well written and amusing, and would be wonderful in the arena.

The show I saw was two acts.
Fun show. I don't know if it needs a companion piece. I think it can stand by itself. Yes.
Very cleverly written and if well directed could be highly enjoyable. But I am not a fan of doing a show that is only an hour long unless we combine it with something else. I think audiences might feel shortchanged.
I'm no Stoppard fan other than Arcadia but I know many people love this play - so whatever the committee decides is fine with me.
