See it if you have a teenager you want to bring to the theater. It's fun, quirky accessible like a school play.
Don't see it if you want a staging true to this classic Stevenson piece - it takes the story and then twists it to accommodate modern tastes and tiny budget

See it if you like propaganda in the theater and don't mind knowing every next curve of a virtually absent intrigue.
Don't see it if you prefer individual over party line. It's an agitprop on metoo theme. The chemistry between actors is real but it's wasted on a bad script
See it if If you know who William Kentridge is - run until there's still tickets. It's an electrifying collage of imagery and ideas.
