Touching, Great acting, Great staging, Resonant, Intelligent

See it if you wish to see a portrayal of an "open relationship" that has unexpected consequences for those who embrace it.

Don't see it if you are not interested in plays about passionate personal relationships and the consequences of jealousie.

Absorbing, Great writing, Great staging, Great acting, Resonant

See it if you want play that tackles love, romance, sex, commitment, monogamy, & polyamory. Well-written, cleverly directed/staged, nicely-acted.

Don't see it if not open to nudity, frank expressions of gay male sexuality, & challenging the convention of dyads as the only acceptable relationship form.

Cute boys in (& out of) their underpants

See it if the, uh, costumes appeal to you. Seriously, the drama is rather predictable but staged (and lit) well.

Don't see it if you don't like gay themes, soap opera. you're a boxers (vs. briefs) fan.
