See it if You have read the play and enjoyed it.

Don't see it if You are triggered by fascist iconography.

Also The story and concept are intriguing, but the execution felt lacking. It feel like they are trying to jam about 60 years of human history into about 2 hours and 15 minutes (yes the run-time is longer than what is recommended).
