Congrats on the play! As for the relationship - it's difficult to comment. I do not know you that well, and I have no idea of the person you are referring to, but it strikes me (warning, a cliche is about to crush into the text) that someone who can act so, well, categorically based on a misunderstanding might not be a good friend candidate. Again, I totally don't know the context, but I find that people who are close friends of mine are much more understanding.

At any rate, best of luck with the role.
