Don't see it if you don't like uneven plays - the first act is stronger than the second, or plays that sharply change tone from one act to the next

See it if you like fast-paced, funny satire of contemporary life

Don't see it if references to race or vulgarity offend you

See it if u want another absolutely absorbing and wild play by Robert O'Hara. Very well produced and acted. Ending is a bit skit-like and shallow.

Don't see it if I don't see any reason not to see this if you like theater and want to celebrate new playwrights. So enjoyable! Surprises abound!

See it if You like unpredictable and smart writing

Don't see it if You want a linear, direct plot

See it if you like shouty comedy which exacerbates cultural stereotypes, want huge (unconvincing) plot twists. First half: hilarious, 2nd: wtf.

Don't see it if You don't want to be really confused by the end of the play, if cussing and dirty jokes offend you, if you want more nuanced acting.

See it if you enjoy farce about big political and social ideas.

Don't see it if you get a headache from a lot of shouting.

See it if want a fresh take on family interplay and ambition in an unexpected setting. 1st act was very strong and funny. 2nd act lost some steam.

See it if ribald and riotous examination of race and class, filled with theatrical delights and strong performances

Don't see it if you want to have a strong emotional experience rather than an intellectual one

See it if You love a good comedy and are intrigued by race conversations in fresh and dynamic interpretations.

Don't see it if You aren't into surprises or subversive messages. There is a meta conversation being had in this show that may be off putting to some.

See it if you enjoy a funny satire with a twist.

Don't see it if you require your satires to have a harder bite, or a more timely, relevant bite. Feels this would have worked better 15-20 yrs ago.

See it if you like theater that is outrageous, fresh, original & raucous. O'Hara is one of the theater's modern treasures with a unique voice and POV.

Don't see it if you are easily offended and prefer old tired revivals to contemporary works that speak to our times and sensibilities.

See it if you love a little confusion, a shock, and a right turn. Hilarious and thought-provoking, amazing acting.

Don't see it if you hate being confused or a show that departs from its original path.

See it if you like your ideas big, your humor nutty and having the rug pulled out from under you at every turn. O'Hara's mind is a thing of wonder...

Don't see it if You like the play's message spelled out for you. This piece touches on big themes but in a way that trusts us to interpret it as we may.
