See it if If your an Ethan Hawke fan. Ethan Hawke steals the show. Paul Dano brings a light nerdy flavor to the show.

Don't see it if You don’t like loud noises or conflicts.

Also Ethan Hawke on Broadway is just as amazing as his on screen talent. However, it doesn’t make up for some of the shows shortcomings as the story line is unconvincing and there are some moments where you really question the point of the show. Nonetheless, the comedic aspect of the show is quite entertaining and there is an interesting dynamic between the characters.... Read more Read less

See it if Your into deep discussions about race in today’s society. Hits close to home for those that have been through traumatic events.

Don't see it if Language might be a bit strong and traumatic events may be a bit heavy for some.

Also Loved the acting in this play and a story with so many layers. The conflicts that each character possesses builds to an insanely creative climax. Sends a really strong message to the issues in today’s society that may not be as prevalent to an outsider. Highly recommended!!!... Read more Read less
