Do You Feel Anger?

See it if The acting is phenomenal

Don't see it if You only like musicals

See it if you can! This is a super theatrical, super absurd, super incisive, super powerful play. It's thrilling to watch it unfold.

Don't see it if you've never been a person who interacts with other people. (Since that's not you, go see this play!)

See it if You have attended workplace training sessions that went nowhere. Absurdist dark comedy with over the top players being un-P.C.. A wild ride

Don't see it if You are easily offended by inappropriate workplace behavior and mistreatment of females. It is only a play. Some obscene language and pics.

Also A very creative play by a new palywright with a comedy dark side. Well written and developed characters in a parody of office life. Can absolutely inappropriate behavior ever be changed? Cast is excellent. Get ready to be stunned by the reality.... Read more Read less

See it if you have been accused of being too angry and want to see your story on stage. See it if you are not sure why women are so angry.

Don't see it if you clutch your pearls at the phrase "blow job" or can't enjoy or see the value of theatre in a heightened, absurd style

See it if Good acting esp Greg Keller. A certain kind of humor. Super set. Wait until the final 10 minute. ,Lighting used effectively.

Don't see it if Not sure re: the Me-too folks One should be ready for the humor used. Business companies will not be happy with the behavior of employees.

See it if a story which starts out like a sitcom with sophomoric humor about teaching empathy to workers of a debt collection agency; great ending

Don't see it if you like subtle stories; the humor gets tiresome (maybe that's the point); heavy-handed production

Also some monologues by the mother are more subtle in the messages about compassion & supporting each other.
Same director as Eddie & Dave & also the actress Megan Hill.... Read more Read less

See it if Want a funny ,slapstick night of comedy with a mind bending twist.

Don't see it if Don't enjoy over the top comedy that gets dark. QUICK!

See it if You think some office sensitivity training is absurd. You can’t understand the effects of trauma until you have experienced it yourself.

Don't see it if You are OK with a comedy sketch that is stretched to 90 minutes. You may find the humor distasteful and non-PC.

See it if you want to see an absurdist look at an empathy coach and the deranged staff of the debt collection agency she must attempt to train.

Don't see it if you expect something more coherent than a string of outrageous skits leading to a downbeat ending.

Also The actors are so good and some of the moments so funny that you may be willing to overlook the play's weaknesses. There is one character whose role seems totally unnecessary even though he gets lots of laughs. The set makes an impressive transformation near the end.... Read more Read less

See it if you like comedy centered around how odd people and situations can be. Some lines (and 1 monologue) are absurd however & some scenes overdone

Don't see it if you like all the jokes to make sense. Some things were just too absurd.

Also The set change at the end was very neatly done.

See it if you're up for a frenzied black comedy with lots of screaming and physical action.

Don't see it if you're looking for a cohesive, believable plot involving empathy workshops in a debt collection office.

Also I know that as a farce this should be over the top, but these characters are so overdone (even though well-acted), that it is hard to feel involved in the action. The playwright has some valid points to make (mostly concerning misogyny and women's rights) but the impact is diminished by all the craziness. At least it was for me.... Read more Read less

See it if are into absurdities and farcical gags

Don't see it if you want substance from the theater

Also The play wants to be Ionesco but it doesn't even reach the level of Borat. A parody of a play, it shows all men as sexists and all women as their silly victims. The play is pretty callous but two of the actors are great, the staging is terrific and the transformation of the scene at the end is so astonishing that it almost warrants a visit.... Read more Read less

See it if you have a friend in the cast or like a good set.Acting is uneven.Point of play is made in first 10 minutes.After that it's just repetition.

Don't see it if you have anything better to do.I resent that all women are good people, all the men are violent jerks.Good point about #MeToo; not done well

See it if feminist; generally well-acted, well-intended effort to show fruitlessness of trying to teach male incorrigibles 2 behave w empathy

Don't see it if playwright presents misogynistic behavior so extreme it's absurd; result: clumsy in-your-face spectacle; irrelevant family subplot

Also Contrast this with "Miles for Mary" that satirizes ultra-politically correct school/corporate meetings. "Miles" does satire well by starting w patterns of behavior that are only slightly exaggerated, then progressively making them more and more exaggerated until by the end the scenario becomes totally unhinged. Viewed like a car, it starts at 30 MPH and then slowly moves up to 90 when all hell breaks loose. This play starts at 90 MPH, moves rapidly to 120 and stays there. Playwright would have done better had she presented this as an undisguised absurdist production rather than something caught in between a conventional satire and an absurdist one.... Read more Read less

See it if You can appreciate dark humor with a social edge

Don't see it if You have no sense of humor; don’t enjoy thought provoking plays
