See it if You like shows that are far out of the box/make you think hard. Very relevant to what’s going on today politically & in corporate America.
Don't see it if Your feelings might get hurt if you find that you’re the villain in this story. Buckle up Buttercup, it’s going to be a bumpy ride! Read more
See it if Deep, funny and relevant. I love when I show makes me feel uncomfortable and think!
Don't see it if I guess for some people could be hard to swallow… 🤔
See it if you love really over-the-top satire that has crazy twists and absurd turns. Lots to unpack.
Don't see it if you aren't into crazy, offensive and weird theatrics and need to understand what is going on all the time. Nobody is likeable.
See it if Underlying some of the overt messiness is an insightful and searing indictment of racism, misogyny , and power dynamics. Dedicated cast.
Don't see it if An intense 2.5h that could stand a bit of tightening and trimming. Borders on pontificating, but still needs to be seen/heard.
See it if satire delving into workplace racism, sexism, and DEI that fully goes off the rails; well acted w cast (Kate walsh!) leaning into absurdity
Don't see it if You’ll find the material triggering or want a fully realized coherent play, this is perhaps overly ambitious from young playwright but fun
See it if You want to see an interesting new play by a promising young writer
Don't see it if You want to see a happy show
See it if What begins as a cringy White supremacist work place play gets more and more explosively surreal for the two Black characters. Gets intense.
Don't see it if Bit experimental, escalation away from reality, racism/micro aggressions at work aren't your thing. 2.5 hours; 1 intermission. Read more
See it if you want to see an intense & often funny commentary on racial-sexism work politics that won't spoonfeed you into what to know & understand.
Don't see it if There are some radical and very intense moments as the show goes on that you should read about depending on your sensitivities.
