Timely, Relevant, Quirky, Clever, Absorbing

See it if You're able to find the humour and commentary in a piece centred on the absurdity of censorship and book banning.

Don't see it if You dislike or aren't familiar with poetry. A fair bit of the runtime is comitted to the titular dead poets offering readings of their work.

Ambitious, Great acting, Confusing, Disappointing, Great staging

See it if you'd like a 3-hander, where two play multiple roles, that bring some humor and grace to American poets in a Hudson Valley story.

Don't see it if you are bothered by bad sound: voices in directions away from the audience and often loud, reverberating and incomprehensible, you miss alot

Overrated, Slow, Excruciating, Disappointing, Confusing

See it if you want to know more about the poets portrayed in the performance.

Don't see it if unless you want to see loud and disjointed acting...the play did not make sense to me but maybe it will for others.

See it if Only if you have to go

Don't see it if You love, or want to know more about, these poets. Lowest score I ever gave. Allen Ginsberg with a Southern accent and there was Worse!.

Pretentious, Word salad, Shouty annoying and chaotic

See it if The actors and writer put considerable effort into making an artsy and edgy show. Too bad it didn't work for me, but others may enjoy it.

Don't see it if I found it obnoxiously incomprehensible and lost interest very quickly.
