Masterful, Relevant, Intelligent, Great acting, Great staging

See it if you like gripping drama from start to finish, by a great cast, well-directed in a new version of Ibsen's classic. Good sound and lights.

Don't see it if you are looking for something light, don't like to sit for 2 hours, though there is a 5 minute stand up break with a free beverage.

Outstanding acting, Profound, Must see, Masterful, Intelligent

See it if an incredibly well acted Ibsen play that's terrifying in relevance today w too common anti-science/intellect/educated views; def go see it!

Don't see it if You’re bothered by snack pause (I didn't love, but rest of production outweighs), dislike serious shows, desire light fluffy or flashy

Thought-provoking, Profound, Must see, Great acting, Absorbing

See it if You like to be pushed and challenged by theater. The characters in this play infuriated me with their willful dismissal of truth/knowledge.

Don't see it if You are not an ardent supporter of free speech and would be provoked by a play that is going to push you to the edge. Relevant for today.
