Masterful, Great writing, Ambitious, Absorbing

See it if So cutting and masterfully done that it actually sent me off into a bit of a funk. It asserts courage under pressure and surprises expertly.

Don't see it if People just have different aesthetics. If you don't like this play we just don't see eye to eye on key things, and that's okay.

Exquisite, Great writing, Masterful, Intense, Profound

See it if you want to see stunning writing for the stage. Stephen Adly Guirgis is one of our best dramatists and this play is one of his best.

Don't see it if you don't like plays about real people or with strong language. The characters can be morally ambiguous and that may bother some,

Relevant, Intelligent, Great acting, Funny, Absorbing

See it if Incredible characters; great ensemble and individual acting. Full of interesting surprises.

Don't see it if It has some dark themes. And the characters are complex, no heroes or villians like in a fairy tale if that is important to you.

Absorbing, Great acting, Great writing, Intelligent, Relevant

See it if you want to see current issues (rent control, drugs, scam artists, police, fatherly love) set in a NYC UWS apartment. Fantastic production!

Don't see it if strong language offends you; otherwise, see this beautifully written play! Redemption wins in the end.
