Resonant, Thought-provoking, Great staging, Great writing, Absorbing

See it if It's a masterpiece of an intricately put-together meta-theatrical family drama with race at its center.

Don't see it if Jackie Sibblies Drury is as good of a playwright as New York has right now, writing through the form, affect, and politics of theater.

Clever, Edgy, Funny, Relevant, Weird

See it if Black actors play “white” roles & struggle with Euro culture. Zany fun w/ many creative surprises. Loved the satirical dancing & food fight.

Don't see it if You aren’t interested in race & cultural assimilation. You don’t like weird plays. The last scene fell flat for me. Confrontational.

Ambitious, Dizzying, Edgy, Great staging, Thought-provoking

See it if You want a challenge/provocation. A daring play that left me reeling. If you want something that isn’t easy but pounds with thought/feeling

Don't see it if You’re unsettled by the confrontation of whiteness as a category, whiteness as an audience. You want something straightforward. It’s not.
