Talented cast does its best, 13 differing realities, Lighting plot doesn't help, Difficult to figure out, Altered realities

See it if If you like, trying to figure out what reality the characters are in, or whether they are real at all, or repetition of exposition 13 ways

Don't see it if Didn't like the film MEMENTO, care about beginning/middle/end and character development, & plot, & action vs. repetitious talk

Clever script, Good performances, Ambitious, Entertaining

See it if You're up for supporting young actors & companies & contemplating issues of existence, living life, inner perception and experienced reality

Don't see it if Expecting great theatre. Well-acted though no way profound, as is the script, which explores genuine questions of What's reality, really?

Confusing, Banal, Disappointing

See it if You want to support local theater. I was disappointed with this show because it sounded so engaging but turned out to be confusing .

Don't see it if You want a cohesive narrative as this play is allover the place and could use some rewrites.

Excruciating, Confusing

See it if A crazy character doesn't allow the bad writing to be uneven and crazy. Between bad direction & acting, this is between torture and hell.

Don't see it if This is so off-off-off-off Broadway, it's in the river where it belongs. The end was turning off the lights, or else no one would have known

Thought-provoking, Great acting, Absorbing

See it if you wonder about reality vs illusion

Don't see it if you like your plays straightforward Read more
