Ah, well, I like the sound of this.

Couldn't that become an interesting plot complication?

The players will also have to determine what sort of erroneous play we've been putting on for the last five years.

Actually,
Mnemo, I think that's related to another question– what is theatre in Fourth Age Gondor
like? How stylised is it; what conventions does it have? Does it happen to bear a curious resemblance to any real form of drama, modern or historical? All that would have a big influence on the way in which the players would treat their material. Maybe there's "standard" elements they've inserted in the story because they're crowd-pleasing, or just because,
"you have to have a dragon, everyone knows that".
The other main factor would be their source(s) of information.
