Intelligent, Thought-provoking, Ambitious

See it if You are THAT person who thinks a lot about life, death, coincidences, and fate. This play will trigger some self-reflection, in a good way.

Don't see it if If you easily annoying by "do-overs" in stories. The play deals with redoing actions to see if fate changes, so scenes are repeated.

O'neill-esque, Dizzying, Great staging, Quirky, Slow

See it if You love any of the principals involved -- they give it their all. Anita Gillette and Celia Keenan-Bolger never fail to deliver.

Don't see it if You're looking for pure entertainment as opposed to a Stoppard-like brain exercise. We've heard this message before from Eugene O'Neill.

Thought-provoking, Quirky, Confusing

See it if you like wellacted fast paced dialogue & don't mind challenged by show's take away; definitely prompts after show discussion on show meaning

Don't see it if you don't want confusing story line & show's meaning; elements of waiting for godot; shows pedigree & expectations leads to disappointment
