Do You Feel Anger?

See it if Great writing. Characters are funny & infuriating at the same time. Very relevant.

Don't see it if You don't enjoy dark loud comedies​ that make you laugh and cringe at the same time.

Also Characters emotional volume is turned high up to make an extremely relevant social commentary. Very smart and timely.... Read more Read less

See it if You enjoy dark comedies that explore serious & timely themes. Extremely funny & great performances from the cast.

Don't see it if You prefer superficial comedies that don't have anything to say.

See it if You want to see a show that turns out to be genius though it takes its time getting there-at least for me-I didn’t get it till at the end.

Don't see it if You don’t have the patience to sit through what you might not get or understand or even like till you get what is a powerful message.

See it if Wacko absurdist dark comedy. At the same time, deadly serious. Audience & protagonist are kept off-guard. Brilliant writing/acting/staging.

Don't see it if Oppressive power dynamics in an insane workplace will be triggering to you. You don’t enjoy crazy disturbing satire.

See it if you like work that is wildly inventive & has something to say.

Don't see it if you are expecting the traditional office comedy.

Also I found Mara Nelson-Greenberg's “DO YOU FEEL ANGER?” wildly inventive & uncomfortable in a good way. It has something to say about something important: Women in the office workplace are routinely abused because an outdated, deeply misogynistic code of conduct & set of expectations are still standard procedure. But I also found the play uneven & repetitive. The bad-boy conduct on the part of the 3 male office workers, appallingly funny for the first few outbursts, is less able to shock with each fresh encounter, even when that conduct borders on the murderous. There is also some unclarity with an important, recurring strand of plot. The central character’s mother keeps phoning, but her daughter doesn’t call back until the end, & I never felt I understood why. See this play anyway: When the back wall of the office set blows away, the wider realm we open up to will help you forget the bumpier stretches of the journey.... Read more Read less

See it if you do not mind absurdly, over-the-top characters whose repetitive behavior change the important message of this play into a dulled exercise

Don't see it if you seek real comedy that is not at the expense only of women the workplace- much of this I did not find humorous, or you want a calm outing

See it if you're looking for something out of the ordinary, even breaching into absurdity.

Don't see it if you're easily confused. Dialogue in this show makes no sense. I'm sure there must be some meaning behind it, but I couldn't figure it out.

See it if You’d like a lighter & funnier - though no less substantial - take on the #MeToo movement.

Don't see it if You despise phony/nonsensical comedy that barely seems to have a grounding in reality, even if it’s used to its advantage in the end.

See it if you enjoy absurdist theater which deals with relevant issues, not always successfully; annoying characters; silliness; some clever lines.

Don't see it if you only like realism on stage, not a play which wavers from realistic to absurd, with repetitive raunchiness, misogyny, workplace politics

See it if you like dark comedies. Quirky and entertaining. The performances were effective. Surprised by bad reviews since my audience loved it.

Don't see it if you don't have a dry sense of humor, or don't like plays that can get bizarre, surreal and absurd.

See it if outrageous, unsettling, saddening. Good thing it’s a punch drunk comedy. You want to see a consistent, truly effective grotesque.

Don't see it if you aren’t inclined to feel anger, didn’t like The Thanksgiving Play, prefer characters/fleshed personalities to the sequence of impacts.

Also There’s a sort of comedy that comes from watching someone fail over and over again. DYFA does something really interesting with this. The pile of repeated failure is allowed to accrue into something that feels almost solid. It becomes unbearable to anticipate the future, but the jokes persist. They keep coming. The reviews for this are understandably all over the place. I had stronger reactions than I expected to.... Read more Read less

See it if You like satire and dont mind locker room language. this attempt to verbalize sexual harassment initially works but doesnt know where to go

Don't see it if You are not willing to look beneath the dialog to what is meant. you dont like agressive sexual banter.

Also I got bored after the "trick" went on too long. The attempt to build on the initial premise never really took. Some winning actors, working hard.... Read more Read less

See it if you can appreciate the employment of an exaggerated reality to make very real points about our society.

Don't see it if you enjoy the patriarchy.

See it if See if you can handle a dysfunctional office with highly emotional acting out behavior.

Don't see it if Quite disturbed characters with severely disturbing behaviors.

See it if enjoy "hyper" theatre - over the top acting and writing to highlight what's happening now

Don't see it if may not be for everyone - very over the top - could make people uncomfortable

See it if How the patriarchy grinds away women's will, especially at work. Shows what men might really think/say towards women.

Don't see it if #MeToo scenarios are triggering. Caricatures of hormonal, emotionally stunted men. Absurd and offensive, not quite in the funniest ways.

Also Ticket from Show Score, $5.

See it if a new UNFUNNY workplace comedy sounds appealing to you.

Don't see it if you were expecting to experience a funny workplace comedy and instead you discovered that it was some weird unfunny Twilight Zone story.

See it if You're interested in the dynamics of how even well-intentioned & educated women often give in to men. Clever&absurd, but touching in the end

Don't see it if You don't like frenetic and over the top depictions, or aren't interested in MeToo issues. But you'll be missing out -this is powerful stuff

See it if Theatre of the Absurd, scarily not so absurd. Strongly committed cast, incl. Justin Long,

Don't see it if Afraid to release inner demons,

See it if U like absurdist theatre--though this isn't as "out there" as most; want to see a good production of a promising young writer's work.

Don't see it if u prefer plots that are entirely realistic and characters who aren't stereotypes, dislike plays that try to stuff in too many themes.

Also I really disliked the ending and felt it didn't fit in with the rest of the play.... Read more Read less

See it if You are up for an office comedy, which offers a few laughs, but then relentlessly repeats them with no resolution. Some good acting.

Don't see it if You don’t like macho humor at the expense of women.

See it if you're intrigued by the dynamics & dysfunctions that play out in relationships (here, w/ coworkers, adult child/parent) & insights to glean.

Don't see it if you'll mind that depictions of those dynamics are limited & repetitive; characters aren't exactly relatable or likeable. Bravo actors tho!

See it if you want to see work by new writers and a director and you trust Vineyard to produce something challenging. Actors do the best they can.

Don't see it if you expect insight, a clear through line and some unpredictable plot lines. This doesn't offer any of that. Disappointing.

See it if While the actors did a good job, they didn't have much to work with. This was a very poor attempt at what could have been a good storyline

Don't see it if You can't tolerate very silly presentations

See it if you want to see a decent cast doing their best with a very uneven script. applaud the concept and topic, but the show doesn't really work

Don't see it if you expect a script that make sense. A lot of the "jokes" misfire. Seems like it needs a lot more work. Good concept/weak execution.
