Unusual & strange, Daring, brave acting & dialogue, Exhausting, Provocative, Edgy

See it if you are up for a rather unusual, contrived yet affecting & disquieting story about race & sex with uncomfortable laughing & biting truths

Don't see it if Bold , bare, uncensored dialogue would upset you. Lots of cruel, painful imagery, nudity & violent interactions are included and satirized. Read more

Resonant, Relevant, Intelligent, Absorbing, Clever

See it if you're ok with nudity , sexually explicit material & want to delve more in racial understanding . Want to hear a remarkable script.

Don't see it if you have sexual inhibitions , can’t tolerate nudity , you don’t get racial discourse. Doesn’t matter that it’s a great script .

Edgy, Great acting, Relevant, Thought-provoking, Ambitious

See it if You like plays that make you wonder what is happening, make you uncomfortable, have frank discussion about race, relationships, & sex.

Don't see it if violent and/or sexual situations will trigger, you are looking for a family friendly show, not a fan of shows intending to provoke Read more

Intelligent, Intense, Resonant, Thought-provoking, Ambitious

See it if you enjoy out of the box theater that has you reflect on and dissect what you just saw. it's a super interesting think piece

Don't see it if this is definitely not a play for everyone as it is quite experimental. don't go if you are uncomfortable about sexual or racial themes

Riveting, Thought-provoking, Ambitious, Edgy, Absorbing

See it if You want to see something that is not a typical midtown show. It makes you think, feel, and respond in ways I have never experienced before.

Don't see it if You want a show that makes you feel comfortable and escape from the realties of the world.
