Getting Out

See it if you want a thought-provoking, if somewhat dated, early Marsha Norman play exploring the struggle of a woman coping with life after prison.

Don't see it if you are not prepared for a serious but slight (and, at times, slow-moving) drama that deals with some uncomfortable issues.

See it if you want to solve some of the problems of the world. This play makes one say What can we do to improve our prison system, Better than orig.

Don't see it if You know someone in prison or just released; expect great staging and dialogue; dislike abuse of women;hate unrequited despair

See it if You know someone in the play. The acting wasn't bad, and the actors have talent. But the play is boring and long and has no accessible arc.

Don't see it if Horribly staged for the theater. Big columns made some of the space inaccessible and they put scenes there anyways. Confusing choice.

See it if You want to acquaint yourself with a terrific company dedicated to meaningful work. Who else provides questions to spur conversation after?

Don't see it if TW: Scene of near-rape. You are disappointed by an imbalanced cast - some great performances, but also some plodding leads.

See it if You can leave after the first act

Don't see it if If you have seen Orange Is The New Black which is much more interesting

Don't see it if You need a show to have characters with dimension who aren't cliched, and a plot to be more than just adequate

Don't see it if If you are allergic to bad acting, little to no direction and a cliched uninteresting story.

See it if You don't expect much

Don't see it if You don't like experimental theatre. Something was missed. Actors are fine, stage-so-so, spot-I saw worse. Maybe 20 guests in the house...

See it if Like realistic drama about unpleasant subjects and rather intense scenes, with characters acting violent or disturbed.

Don't see it if You prefer lighter or comedic subject matter, are bothered by intense, unpleasant subject matter, or violence against women.

See it if Like to see work by a new theatre company...

Don't see it if You want high stakes theatre, that has a clear message and is enhanced with great acting. I found myself wanting more choices made.
