Shadia is twenty-five. Hero is old enough to discuss business with Hal in her summation of how she’s doing. They are both fully-grown adults! But Bolaire shields them when the party gets intense. He tries to defuse the tension by teaching them a valuable lesson about social gatherings, the way you would for very small children.

So either Bolaire met them when they were much smaller and has forgotten that they age, or simply cannot read ages particularly well and, when introduced to them, went “Ah yes, my dear friend Hal’s children. I know children. Children are tiny. Hello, Tiny Children.”

If Alex dressed like this walkes past me, I'd cover my drink and call my mom.

"You are the only friend I've ever had. This theater is so important. You are so important. Your children are so important."

For adults, the appeal is Sir Patrick Stewart doing a kid’s educational bit in full Shakespearean dress and style; there’s a delightful cognitive dissonance between the very serious presentation and the very simple content.

For very small children, it’s educational: this is the letter “B”; here’s how it’s shaped; here’s some words you know that start with it. Oh, and here’s a word you may not be familiar with that starts with it, so you can recognize that it’s the sound that matters, and not whatever other connection you made between the other two words.

For older kids: you’ve probably heard that “to be or not to be?” speech, or at least part of it, so you can enjoy some of the parody the adults are watching. Also, here’s how to describe how a letter is made - how to teach young siblings who don’t read yet, how to explain both the shape and the sound.

For kids with dyslexia: here’s how you differentiate a “B” from a P or D or E. You may have to go slowly and look carefully at the exact shapes that make up the whole, but there are differences and you can learn to recognize them. 

For teens or young college students: In addition to whichever parts of those are relevant to you, here’s what Shakespearean acting sounds like. Here’s how to enunciate clearly and slowly, so your audience can understand terms they may not recognize and still follow the gist of what you’re saying. If you’re reading Shakespeare in school, try sounding it out like this and see if that helps it make sense.
