Great acting, Great writing, Disappointing

See it if you are a huge fan of Tennessee Williams or of any of the great talented cast.

Don't see it if you prefer traditional takes on classic plays. This production is not that and not for everyone.

Sparse, Leaves a lot to the imagination, Intentionally uncomfortable, Resonant

See it if You're enchanted with Sally Field, want to support diverse casting, appreciate boundary pushing staging & direction.

Don't see it if Not a fan of stripped down revivals. I enjoyed Ivo van Hove's a View from the Bridge,Sam Gold's choices here I found often distracting

Never seen a production of play before...don't go

See it if 2 hrs and 5 min with no intermission is your ideal. 1 excellent Actor, 1 close to excellent Actor, 2 badly directed Actors is your goal.

Don't see it if You want sets, costumes, as the script by the Author demanded... You're on 'water pills', you leave you don't get back in. You hate Williams Read more

Clever, Ambitious, Great acting, Intelligent, Slow

See it if You enjoy Tennessee William's work, and love Sally Field. This was an interesting take on a classic. With an interesting minimalist set.

Don't see it if You like your classics as CLASSICS. This was played both bigger (in the space) and smaller (in the acting). Read more

Clever, Dated, Disappointing, Great acting, Intense

See it if you like the show and want to see a new production of it. Sally Field is excellent and if you like her you will enjoy her performance here.

Don't see it if disability bothers you or you fall asleep in dark spaces easily.

Absorbing, Funny, Resonant

See it if You love the play and any work of Tennessee Williams. Enjoy some dramatic flair and creative staging (rain on stage)

Don't see it if You despise family dramas. A play about unfulfilled dreams or a main character that is stuck in one way or another.

Ambitious, Dated, Confusing, Disappointing, Great writing

See it if You love this play and are interested in seeing an ambitious (but ultimately unsuccessful) attempt to reimagine it.

Don't see it if You want to see a traditional interpretation of a classic play. Read more
