Good acting, Interesting topic, Slight, Disappointing, Somewhat trite

See it if you are interested in the themes of the growth of Nazism, sports, prejudice and past unheralded women sports figures fighting discrimination

Don't see it if you dislike characters telling their stories to the audience with little dialog, characterizations that are not in-depth & no new insights.

Thought-provoking, Resonant, Relevant

Don't see it if You don't like a 2 person show, want to see a big stage production, want to stretch your legs, this is an old theatre so seats are tight.
