Thought-provoking, Intelligent, Great staging, Absorbing

See it if You are interested in how the Good Friday agreement finally happened. Are familiar with the personalities & politics. Some liberties taken.

Don't see it if You know nothing about the agreement & key players. A printed program would've been hugely helpful, though I remembered enough going in. Read more

Fast-paced, Dense, Great directing

See it if you like detailed & energetic political "how the sausage is made" behind-the-scenes plays, (similar to much superior Oslo) with a great cast

Don't see it if if you're not in the mood to watch deeply opposed political adversaries negotiate & find ways to compromise. It's been done before, better.

Intelligent, Thought-provoking, Great acting, Entertaining, Absorbing

See it if You enjoy plays about history and political intrigue. I especially loved Andrea Irvine as Mo Mowlam.

Don't see it if You don't enjoy shows where characters break the fourth wall. Read more
