Absorbing, Must see, Relevant, Resonant, Thought-provoking

See it if you enjoy intimate productions, artistic reflections of our current political climate, shows that really make you think.

Don't see it if you want to go to the theatre simply to escape the problems of the world, you don't like conversational pieces, you prefer big theatrics. Read more

Relevant, Thought-provoking, Intelligent, Intense, Resonant

See it if you read it in school, are a student of theatre history, like small intimate dramas, like shows relevant to current times.

Don't see it if You are looking for a large scale show, want something uplifting, are bothered by anachronistic language. Acting is a little too improv-like

Ambitious, Relevant, Thought-provoking, Intelligent

See it if you enjoy political dramas,revivals and period pieces.The acting was good, but the doctor overacts in some parts.

Don't see it if you expect to see Ibsen's Enemy of the People. The adaptation is interesting, but it changes the play almost past recognition.

Great acting, Great writing, Intelligent, Relevant, Thought-provoking

See it if you want to see one of the classics and feel cultured, plus be wowed by how our contemporary issues are reflected in Ibsen's drama.

Don't see it if you're looking for something flashier or star-studded, or if you can't stand to sit in a REALLY cold theatre.

Ambitious, Relevant

See it if you enjoy smart adaptations and shows with politically resonant overtones. Great use of the Barrow's space.

Don't see it if the idea of changing the work of the father of modern drama makes you feel faint.
