Great acting, Great staging, Great writing, Relevant

See it if It leaves you thinking afterwards. See if you enjoy humor--it's a very funny show, despite some of the heavier themes.

Don't see it if stories about real people facing real challenges in real relationships makes you crazy. the reality of the characters was terrific.

Absorbing, Entertaining, Funny, Great acting, Great staging

See it if You enjoy watching families slowly fall apart (see: the majority of American drama). Reed Birney and Jane Houdyshell are worth the price.

Don't see it if You're easily confused by varying theatrical devices. The play almost goes into magical realism towards the end.
