Great acting, Disappointing

See it if for the acting. Great performances in this two-hander, enhanced by seeing it from stage seating.

Don't see it if uncertainty bothers you. I found the ending to be very abrupt.

Great acting, Great staging, Funny, Slow, Disappointing

See it if You want to see two amazing actors preform a short show that still has a well thought out story to it.

Don't see it if You want a show with more characters and a longer plot line. This show seemed like acting exercises but still was okay due to the actors.

Confusing, Great acting, Slow

See it if You Like Simon Stephens, MLP, or minimalist sets and overall minimal design

Don't see it if You want MLP's true form- they had her in a hideous voice. Or a show about physics. There was nothing science related in this show

Annoying, Banal, Disappointing, Quirky, Intense

See it if You want to see MLP create a character that is like a caricature of her popular stage roles or if you like Denis Arndt - or Simon Stephens

Don't see it if You want to spend an evening with 2 likeable characters who change, develop, grow . . . through the course of play.

Good acting, Overrated, Indulgent, Trite

See it if you like ML Parker & you want to see a May-December "love story" about two people inexplicably linked by an accidental (or was it?) meeting.

Don't see it if you have to pay Broadway prices for a bare-bones, stripped-down, glorified one-act play with no heft & no real payoff.

Great acting, Disappointing, Overrated

See it if you want to see a great performance by Denis Arndt. I hated MLP's character so much, it's difficult for me to judge her performance.

Don't see it if you want to see an actual play, rather than an acting exercise.

Ambitious, Confusing, Disappointing, Great acting, Overrated

See it if you like Mary-Louise Parker as an actress or if you are ok with non-linear ideas. Also see it if you are engaged by non-traditional seating.

Don't see it if you're looking for a profound and life changing play.
