At long last, I have finally found the time to put my thoughts to writing on this excellent piece of writing! It helps that yesterday, while driving around town, a song came on my iPod that reminded me of you and subsequently this creepypasta that I have left without comment for FAR too long! Now where do I begin?

Well, the writing is superb in its carefully crafted language and it really gives a genuine feel to the whole European/International origins of this play. Also, I think it's tremendous how you can write works of art within works of art (INCEPTION) that lead the reader to believe it really must exist somewhere. Once again, I find myself envious of your creativity as I have yet to write say, a creepypasta about a video game that doesn't actually exist or one that contains excerpts from a book that I made up. Perhaps I will write something like that one day if the right idea/inspiration strikes me.

Also, I like the character of the Oldest Friend. I am often fascinated by the macabre and sinister entities and creatures who lurk under the guise of friendship and kindness, often causing more suffering than good in the long run. I also like that the lines are supposed to be whispered when they're making the deal with Margareth. I can imagine a conversation in hushed tones about the eventual price for her health and well-being.

Something I find very interesting is the fact that the note-takers who are analyzing the play seem to be falling ill and perhaps dying of a cause that is never truly explained. Thus leading the reader to draw their own conclusions out of the ambiguity. Was it because of the play itself being cursed? Is the Oldest Friend (a possible personification of evil or the devil) to blame? Or was it just a really bizarre coincidence? Any way you slice it, I thought it was an awesome touch!

As far as the ending goes, I liked that it ended with the Oldest Friend unmasking before the audience, but without a description of what their face looks like. Thus the reader's imaginiation kicks in and probably pictures something horrifying and disfigured. But I prefer when something like that is only vaguely implied rather than creepypastas that hit you over the head with detailed descriptions of scary imagery and GORE GORE GORE!!! So, I'm really glad you didn't do that here.

In closing, I would definitely recommend this creepypasta to readers of a higher level of class and taste. Is there such a thing as "art house" creepypastas? Anyway, it appears that subtlty is an art that you are well-versed in and I applaud you all the more for it. If you're looking for a numeric value, I'd give it a 9.5/10. Excellent work! :-D
