пригласить на спектакль


Explanation:
Думаю, что здесь "play" - это спектакль. То есть речь идет о приглашении посетить вместе спектакль.

neutral  Oleg Nenashev: с тем же успехом можно пригласить на матч по футболу, бейсболу и т.п.

  -> Если бы речь шла о матче, было бы "to join you for a game"; здесь же речь идет именно о спектакле (play).

agree  Victoria Batarchuk: Склонна согласиться с Вами. Т.к. если бы речь шла просто о приглашении где-нибудь отдохнуть вечером, в оригинале это, скорее, звучало бы иначе (напр., go out ).
