See it if you like Sam Hunter's work and want to see his writings done by a diverse cast

Don't see it if you get annoyed by cheap and cliched plot device, especially from an established writer

Also Really appreciate the fact that the romantic interest of the show isn't a cis older white man; wished they could have spent more time to explore the depth of the Japanese American in their community; what really disappoints me is the lazy plot devices in ACT 3, feels cheap coming from this writer.... Read more Read less

See it if you like Will Eno.

Don't see it if you are looking for a coherent story with fully fleshed-out characters.

Also my first Will Eno play. Quirky language that's often hilarious - but what's after that?... Read more Read less

See it if you wanna see what the fuzz is about; in an interracial relationship with a white partner or as the white partner; just wanna stage nudity

Don't see it if you don't like story with intense racial tension; or that's too long etc.

Also second act is too long and can use some tightening-up; the play is smart and but sometimes you feel the writer knows that this is smart and then it wanders into the realm of showing off and almost way too writer-y and that can be a bit of a turn-off.

The play lacks emotional truth/honesty and its cleverness sometimes feel manipulative. Admittedly, these are important conversations to have, but at whose expenses?

A play for the white gaze. Even when it's calling things out it's provocative in a safe way, hitting white liberals' G-spot.... Read more Read less

See it if you want a predictable story while being washed over by the unbearable whiteness of being

Don't see it if you want stories that reflect here and now

Also When cliches and stereotypical characters/plots were being thrown at me, I thought those were a joke and Donald Margulies would subvert them later but it was just one of the white family dramas where you know what's gonna go wrong in the overtly expositional first scene - guess who cheated on whom? In a time where marginalized communities are fighting for visibilities, productions like this are likely to make POC audience feel harmed.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if you don't like explicit sexual content or want a play with a solid structure

Also This play is very cinematic. I kept thinking about why I am watching this on stage vs. on the screen. The set design, obviously very expensive, doesn't seek to help establish the theatricality of this piece.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if you want some actions or conflicts in the story

Also something different from the writer; good moments here and there; interesting concept but the plot and character feels thin; essentially feels like a long monologue; unnecessary characters just to elongate the play to 90 mins. Simplistic and effective staging; appreciate the effort of playwrights horizons to put it up... Read more Read less

Don't see it if you don't like to see rape being depicted on stage
