John the Original

See it if you enjoy watching actors stripped of everything just acting, truthfully and wholeheartedly.

Don't see it if You need a spectacle, of any kind, don't like sparse staging, set design (read:no) or one man plays.

Also Though both actors were great, the pieces left much to be desired wholly because thought they are great stories they are not monologues. The theatre is way too big for this show and it's very apparent.... Read more Read less

See it if You enjoy an honest, funny play that makes you forget all about what time it is and what you're doing after the show.

Also A fantastic cast and great acting as chemistry lead to an unforgettable performance.... Read more Read less

See it if You enjoy a good laugh

Don't see it if You want to laugh more than every 30 mins.

See it if Non-articulated (not voice) plays interests you. The play almost dances around itself but in a bit of a dizzy.

Don't see it if You need more of a structured plot with convincing character arcs.

Also Although I walked out of the theatre feeling a bit more down about myself, watching great actors act their faces off was entertaining. A bit lofty through parts, it finds it's grounding in the sound design and fantastic lighting. Two precariously placed mirrors later and you'll get to recursively remember that you're watching a play, not always my favorite. Even after all that though, the acting tried to give foundation to the script instead of vice versa and it sticks out like a sore thumb. More depths comes from the body language than the writing, and unfortunately I didn't learn to much about the Ballet either. However with all that said, I still enjoyed it. Take that for what you will.... Read more Read less
