Don't You F**king Say a Word

See it if A light gender satire that feels like an extended sitcom. Pokes fun at competition both within and between the genders. Left me smiling.

Don't see it if It's a bit contrived. Still it makes me wonder about these little power struggles we have with our friends and family.

See it if You'd enjoy a show focused on a tennis rivalry and two couples arguing. The actors were all excellent.

Don't see it if You need an elaborate set and costumes to feel engaged in a play. You want to leave the theatre with a plot worth serious debate.

See it if you enjoy shows about relationships; tennis as a vehicle for one's personality traits; excellent direction and non-linear plot development

Don't see it if you don't care to see yet another show about family/relationship conflicts; you only enjoy linear plots and traditionally developed plays.

See it if You liked GOD OF CARNAGE or similar plays about what makes socially civilized behavior, gender roles, and competition in the 21st century.

Don't see it if You don't like sitcom-like (albeit intelligent) exploration of why and how men (and women) compete, and civilized behavior as a veneer.

See it if You like small theatre and interesting stage design. "Okay" with profanity, and have knowledge about tennis... It was high-octane at times

See it if You would enjoy a thin play that centers on two tennis obsessed men that is mildly amusing

Don't see it if You like plays with complex characters and emotion

See it if You are a tennis player and or enjoy stereotyping men's behavior

See it if It's a light-hearted, well-acted -- Jeanine Serralles stands out in a uniformly excellent cast -- and extremely well-directed piece of fluff

Don't see it if It wants to find deep meaning in a tennis competition but doesn't deliver, leaving it an amusing sitcom

Don't see it if want a show with a fancy set, are offended by profanity, don't enjoy tennis or understand some of it's basic terms

See it if Although the obsession of playing winning tennis is the cause of conflict among the boyfriends; it appear that it has ramifications

Don't see it if you like only classic theatre, this is a modern plasy. Tennis is used as metaphor, you can go even if you do not play or know the game.
