Confusing, Great acting, Overrated

See it if you want to see amazing performers and are willing to look past the vagueness of Albee's plot.

Don't see it if you don't like Albee's writing. I think you really have to be an Albee fan to love this, though the performers are fantastic.

Dated, Disappointing, Indulgent, Insipid, Overrated

See it if Of course the performances were great, as was the writing.

Don't see it if This play is dated, deals with the problems of self-indulgent people. I didn't find it relevant to today. For me, it was a big who cares.
