Ambitious, Clever, Great acting

See it if you enjoy Greek classics and how they still f*ing apply to our times.

Don't see it if you have a stick up your butt about modern adaptations of ancient works.

Funny, Great acting, Great writing, Clever, Resonant

See it if ancient Greek tragedy absorbs you and a well produced modern adaptation, true to the original plot, intrigues, amuses and moves you.

Don't see it if you prefer comedies or musicals, cannot sit through a 90 minute performance without intermission or cannot appreciate the horror of hubris.

Absorbing, Clever, Great acting, Great writing, Intelligent

See it if You want to see a modern version of the classic in a treatment SO applicably current. Creon's tie needs another 6 inches in length!!

Don't see it if You are a true classicist with no sense of humor or you simply supported the current POTUS.

Clever, Absorbing, Great acting, Intense, Riveting

See it if You want to see an incredible story almost 2500 years old, but without the distracting trappings of language/costumes of a bygone era.

Don't see it if You have trouble taking teenagers seriously. You expect a comedy: after a few jokes at the beginning about high school, it plays as tragedy
