I was really surprised by the play's handling of Draco as well. I loved the scene where he admitted he was jealous of the trio - and Ginny agreeing with him to Harry's obvious surprise! And this line...
I don’t care what you did or who you saved, you are a constant curse on my family, Harry Potter.
...broke my heart. Because whether it's true or not, and regardless of how Draco sabotaged himself over the years, you know that's how Draco has always seen it. He just can't get away from Harry Potter no matter what he does, LOL. (My feeeeeels.)
Had to cut my previous comment short, but regarding Ron: I agree he was off from his book characterization, but I feel like that might partially be due to him having such a comparatively small part (as does Hermione), plus the fact that they had to go OVER THE TOP with him in the beginning to contrast with Ron, husband of Padma. But yeah, I felt like he got shortchanged as usual.
