Profound, Masterful, Must see, Absorbing

See it if I didn't expect to love this show as much as I did. Amazing acting, staging - so compelling. Stick with it. It is worth it.

Don't see it if I thought it would be over my head politically and I felt that way at the beginning, but it all fell into place for me. Rivetting.

Possibly superficial, Relevant, Absorbing, Entertaining, Great acting

See it if you enjoy great performances in a gossipy play about actual figures

Don't see it if you want a more profound and -perhaps- a truer tale of the rise of Putin. Read more

Kingmaker.

See it if you think you might like a play about the Soviet Union, during the rise of Vladimir Putin.

Don't see it if a talky drama featuring lots of fine actors using fake Russian accents would turn you off. Read more

Great writing, Great staging, Great acting, Clever, Absorbing

See it if You like plays based on real life events: if you want to be surprised by a side of history that you might not know

Don't see it if You don't like political plays; long plays (is 2h30 but believe me it will fly by); or serious topics
