Dated, Romantic, Great writing, Great acting, Funny

See it if You’d love to see these two actors at the top of their form, in a modern classic that is both heartfelt and touching.

Don't see it if You worry that dated plays with pushy male romantic leads don’t stand up in the current era, even if you’re a romantic at heart.

Thought-provoking, Refreshing, Romantic, Great acting, Absorbing

See it if you want a well-written 2-hander performed by pros. Didn't know the work before but it worked for me.

Don't see it if you're looking for flying sets, large casts and lots of action. This is small and intimate and intense. Mmmmm
