толстый, обильный) for the production of a play (на постановку спектакля), but

when you came down to business (но когда доходило до дела) you discovered

that the main condition was (обнаруживалось, что основным условием было то)

that the leading part should be played by some pretty lady (что главную роль

будет играть какая-то милая дамочка) in whom he was interested (в которой он

был заинтересован).
