Great acting, Intelligent, Overrated, Intense, Indulgent

See it if You love Tom Hiddleston and want to see a classic stripped down and naturalistic.

Don't see it if You want pyrotechnics and star powered performances. A bit too cold and pretentious.

Disappointing, Great acting, Overrated, Slow

See it if Although the three main actors were quite good I was a bit disappointed in the play. Very slow moving and no high points for me

Don't see it if You would enjoy a more lively and faster paced production. I kept waiting for that big moment to happen. But was disappointed in the end. Read more

Intelligent, Great acting, Great staging, Dated, Passionless

See it if you have never seen it or want to familiarize yourself with Pinter. Past productions have been more satisfying for me, but this is timely.

Don't see it if You don't appreciate the dry British approach to drama, which is brought to new heights here. Read more

Relevant, Intense, Great staging, Absorbing, Great acting

See it if you want to see three brilliant actors shining onstage in a stripped down reverse-timeline drama.

Don't see it if you have recent relationship issues and don't want something that might hit close to home. You love fully staged dramas or hate minimalism.

Intelligent, Slow, Disappointing, Great acting

See it if your a fan of this cast, including Tom Hiddleston, or you like dramas about complicated relationships.

Don't see it if you need a pick-me-up or like something quickly paced and with lots of action. This is a slow, quiet show with minimal movement.
