See it if Laugh out loud funny, provocative, thought provoking.

Don't see it if Deals with American racial issues. Very sexual content. The middle section was too long.

See it if One of the most ambitious plays in theater right now. It confronts the tangle of racial and sexual trauma at the core of the American psyche

Don't see it if The play opens up real traumas. One of the women I saw this with sobbed for the second half of the play, & we each left emotionally drained.

See it if a Broadway play for today's "woke" culture, and I mean that in a good way. An articulate look at very intense issues. Subverts expectations.

See it if Harris' invigorating drama on interracial sexual politics is mightily aided by the dynamic, fierce ensemble & O'Hara's kinetic staging

Don't see it if Drama still falters in the 2nd Act as Harris stumbles over his own polemics and the satire becomes a bit turgid Third act coda rightens ship
