Relevant, Refreshing, Great acting, Clever, Ambitious

See it if you like the unexpected, interest in black playwright's take on racism & surveillance & victimhood, like to see 4th wall demolished,

Don't see it if expect a through story line, uncomfortable with issues of racism & audience involvement, could develop conflicted feelings

Thought-provoking, Resonant, Challenging, Provocative, Absurdist

See it if you like intense experimental theater that really pushes the audience to look at racial issues and the chaos taking over American culture.

Don't see it if you are a white person who does not want to feel uncomfortable at the theater. Or if you hate absurdity and/or lots of images coming at you.

Relevant, Must see, Intense, Riveting, Thought-provoking

See it if you're interested in one of the smartest, sharpest examinations of race currently happening on the American stage.

Don't see it if you're unwilling to engage with issues of race or to be made to feel uncomfortable/awkward by art -- this show is not playing around.
