See it if you are up for a play that parallels the life of a Gay couple and their hamsters.
Don't see it if You can't deal with the dark side of nature.
See it if Gay boys & their pet hamsters each hsve babies & lots of spats.The actors portraying the hamsters are terrific as are the gay men. Poignant
Don't see it if small production in a loft in Tribeca (elevator available). Sweet, funny, quirky and intelligent. Reminded me a little of Albee's Seascape.
See it if you want to see a good play (hard to come by these days).
Don't see it if no reason not to, it's 100% worth the time/money. Read more
See it if you are amused by the comparison of human and animal emotions about children; you enjoy clever animals mixed with serious subject matter.
Don't see it if you like only serious drama or large scale musicals; you are uncomfortable with same sex adoption; you have no imagination. Read more
See it if A gay couple are watching rodents reproducing while contemplating life and off-spring. The writing is quite solid and entertaining.
Don't see it if The cast is uneven and the director should have more control of the performers & numerous scene changes which kills the mood.
See it if Oddly amusing & poignant juxapositioning of a gay male couple & a pair of hamsters becoming parents Actors playing hamsters both excellent
Don't see it if While the edgy parallels between the couples proves interesting the conceit starts to lose steam mid-play & momentum slows Worthy effort tho
Critic Reviews (10)
"So on it goes for 85 minutes with the actors repeatedly turning the couch unit as the couples quarrel about how newborns will affect their relationships. There’s no denying that the concerns are valid, and Giles cannot be criticized for addressing them. He does a fair job along the way, but it’s in a repetitive way...All four actors throw themselves vigorously into their roles...Giles allows himself to dilute his intentions by going a get too giddy as he weaves his merry way."

"An amusing and well-acted comedy...Giles makes his rodent characters as fascinating and compelling as the human ones. The result is sometimes a lark, but just as often the comedy overlays a smartly observed, seriously philosophical look at relationships and how they function...Giles’s simple story holds a variety of canny observations about life...Happily, director Jaki Bradley keeps the various elements modulating smoothly as the story encompasses some unusually grim moments."
