See it if You're ready for an in-your-face, intense, aggressively challenging night at the theatre. You will laugh and be shocked. It's intentional.

Refreshing, Relevant, Intense, Ambitious, Too-long

See it if You want to see Broadway's hot show; it's urgent and breaks ground with content and form; the direction is brilliant, too

Don't see it if You want a "perfect" show -- this one is definitely too long, but you'll walk away thinking about it. It spurs important dialogue.

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

See it if Visceral and incisive dominance on and in the"plantation".Difficult, desperate times call for power plays for inter-race couples getting on.

Don't see it if An accomplished enough work (and improved from its downtown mounting) to have to rely on gimmicky shock value to tell its tale.
