Thought-provoking, Profound, Great writing, Great acting, Absorbing

See it if You like plays by Harold Pinter who is a word master. Minimal staging perfect for play emphasizing deep meaning of characters' interactions.

Don't see it if You don't like dramas that aren't literal and that don't help you understand the playwright's intentions.

Must see, Great acting, Intense

See it if You love Harold Pinter. Probably not his best work but worth seeing just for the staging. The acting was great, just see it.

Don't see it if You don’t like slow, intense, lots of dialogue plays. Some of the audience didn’t get it and unwrapped candy at key dialogue parts...... Read more

Great writing, Great acting, Absorbing

See it if You like fine writing and acting. Characters seemed emotionally detached. The pace of the play was slow at times.

Don't see it if You don’t like Pinter.

Intelligent, Riveting, Intense, Great acting

See it if you want to see this Pinter play at its best with great acting and directing. Sparse, but effective staging.

Don't see it if You are not a fan of Pinter's plays & prefer to leave the theater smiling.

Don't see it if not a fan of Pinter or this play, upset by mild audience adoration of stars, uncomfortable with adultery, secrets & plot told in reverse

Beautifully acted play about the insidious nature of extramarital affairs; even not top shelf pinter is better than most plays on/off broadway

See it if Pinter is lapidarian in constructing dialog; precisely constructed world that is incestuous & filled w secrets & 2x dealing; expertly acted

Don't see it if good but not Pinter's best; not dramatic, essentially displays class of arts-related people who use adultery to relieve their boredom Read more

Great writing, Intense, Riveting, Great acting, Absorbing

See it if you like Pinter. That is the main thing. But also to see strong performances and a stark, stripped down version. I thought it worked.

Don't see it if you don't like Pinter's style or relationship/psychological dramas or the idea of a show's action starting from the end and going backwards
