Insipid, Overrated, Thought-provoking, Slow, Great acting

See it if I ,personally was not moved by the story nor did I accept the basis premise of the story. It reminded me of a J.D. Salinger short story,

Don't see it if Very intellectual and bleak. It is not a fun night at the theater.

Overrated, Disappointing, Intelligent, Thought-provoking

See it if you would like to see a writing professor and her student deal with their provocative life-stories in a dramatic and tense way.

Don't see it if you do not deal well with death and dying. I was not emotionally engaged by this play as I had hoped. Somewhat of a disappointment for me.

Well directed, Characters not credible, Plot fails, Well written, Great acting

See it if It is a well-written, well-acted and well-directed show that mostly held my attention

Don't see it if The two main characters are very hard to understand, the central plot "ask" made by one of them to the other was absurd, the ending was weak

Intelligent, some great dialogue

See it if You don’t mind endless monologues, are a fan of Mary Louise Parker, who gives a great performance.

Don't see it if Talky plays put you to sleep.
