See it if you appreciate simple sets and witty, romantic scripts; love to be in the presence of great acting and feel all the tension in the air

See it if you're intrigued by the human psyche, Irish culture, carefully-detailed staging and production

Don't see it if you may be triggered/upset by several simulated gunshots in the play

Don't see it if you are someone who prefers a linear story, needs an explicit "conclusion" to a story.

Also There was a Q&A with the director after the show I attended, and it was a really refreshing and thoughtful experience, learning more about the characters, the complicated stage design that covers a slew of time periods. As far as previews go, the play flowed very well.... Read more Read less
