Don't see it if You're irritated by screens - there are lots of them.

See it if You're interested in the fools role in society especially when the world is crumbling down. You need to laugh until you cry over the state.

Don't see it if You want comedy without social political point. You don't want to laugh until you cry and also have to think.

Also An Ubu Roi meets Taylor Mac meets Shakespeare meets 45 meets clowns. It's a laugh riot, and you have to be willing to go on the ride! If you don't get on the roller coaster, it will go without you, and hey, you spent money on the play anyway so might as well laugh harder than you have since the night the "basket of deplorables" tea sounded like a mighty sick burn.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if You're expecting sharp political satire, it is not that.

Also It's a marriage play as told through the given circumstances of the 2008 debates. If that doesn't interested you, skip it.

See it if You're interested in breaking down the boundaries between generational queer cultures. For: queens, pan/bisexuals, and those who feel erased

Don't see it if You're homophobic, biphobic, and don't like comedy.

Also Aunt Jack is a delightful romp about the depths of the parent/child experience, and how being the outlier in an outlier culture is criticized. It forces us to look in the mirror and examine the way we wall ourselves off to others. How even people who think of themselves as progressive can seek experiences that reinforce their own experience of the world.... Read more Read less
