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

See it if Intense, beautiful and gripping storytelling. Nonlinear and somewhat dreamlike (nightmarish). Absorbing. Relevant & timely.

Don't see it if you don't like stories that are intentionally ambiguous and not neatly explained. Read more

Edgy, Absorbing, Abstract, Great acting, Thought-provoking

See it if You enjoy non-traditional storytelling that makes you think & can be interpreted in many ways. Really Great performances.

Don't see it if You are looking for a straight forward "easy" play that doesn't activate your mind.
