Great writing, Riveting, Great acting, Absorbing

See it if You want to see a brilliant new play by Amy Herzog and starring an elegant and nuanced Rachel McAdams in her Broadway debut. Wow. So moving.

Don't see it if Heavy subject matter is a no-go. Small cast “slice-of-life” play. It is excellent, but very heavy.
