Don't see it if You’re expecting either a gut wrencher or gut laughs.

See it if You enjoy dark comedies and are willing to work a bit to follow the thick English accents

Don't see it if You’re looking for a fast-based farce... This is pretty much the opposite (although there’s quite a bit of comedic dialogue throughout)

Also I honestly had a tough time scoring this one. I feel like I *should* have enjoyed it more, but felt 1) a good chunk of Act 1 was slow (lots of periods of silence, likely by design/ direction), and 2) it was really difficult (for me) to follow along with the thick English accents. It wasn’t an issue of hearing, it was just understanding. All said, there were some pretty funny lines. So like I said, hard to score. Ultimate the dialog difficulty was enough of a detractor that I couldn’t justify giving it a higher score.... Read more Read less

See it if You’re a McDonough fan that would like to spend the evening indulging in a comedic & thoughtful play about England’s 2nd best hangman.
