Great acting, Engaging

See it if you like seeing well seasoned actors. Interesting play, lovely set. Knowing the two original plays, while not necessary, greatly helps.

Don't see it if you want action and don't like character-centric plays.

Lyrical, Quiet and touching., Beautifully performed., Gentle and wistful., Stays with you.

See it if You are a fan of Friel (or Chekhov), like imagining the (after)life of fictional characters, enjoy interaction between 2 masterful actors.

Don't see it if Don't like quiet, all-dialogue, little-action work. You have NO knowledge of the plays these characters were in, can't hear implied thoughts Read more

Disappointing, Slow, Clever, Intelligent

See it if You like the idea of "what happened to...."The idea of the play is engaging even if the execution falls flat. Lovely stage set but static

Don't see it if you want engaging and interesting characters who have something to say and something to do. There is no relationship between the characters

Thin, short, so-so

See it if you care about two checkov characters meet years later; excellent acting but very short and inconsequential. Good set.

Don't see it if you want longer shows. too short. forgettable...story not that interesting. better read then seen.
