Ambitious, Disappointing, Indulgent

See it if You never saw this play before. It is worth seeing ( at least once ) even this is not the best production. And Sally Field is quite good.

Don't see it if You don't like stripped down versions of classic theater. If you saw this play with Cherry Jones in 2013 this production will disappoint you

Ambitious, Disappointing, Slow, Uneven

See it if You want to see one of the stars. You are curious. You like works that are entirely stripped down.

Don't see it if You don't want to see a play that is completely barren. In this case, less is definitely not more. It really does feel like a rehearsal

Banal, Quirky, Under-produced

See it if If you are a Sally Field fan

Don't see it if You love the play. The minimalist approach feels irrelevant and forced. It comes across as a bunch of Theater majors trying too hard.
