Don't see it if you're looking for a polished show or if you are left-leaning. The show highlights a variety of perspectives but has a clear final message

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

See it if You want to hear the actual words of the witnesses. This is "VERBATIM" theater which uses the words directly from the Grand Jury testimony.

Don't see it if You don't want to hear something that may challenge a strongly-held belief.

Absorbing, Great acting, Intense

See it if You enjoy or want to experience verbatim theatre. You want to see a show with a terrific cast.

Don't see it if You are looking for an unbiased account of Mike Brown's hearing. The playwright has an agenda and 'Truth Matters' is a misnomer.
