Goodbody

See it if Unforgettable murder mystery that keeps you guessing and anxious for some answers. Intense, raw, powerful and immsenly unpredictable.

Don't see it if Demands undivided attention as the story keeps twisting. Tolerance to gory violence is expected.

Also A quaint barn scene with mesmerizing performance from all four actors especially Spencer and Marla. Ah the Twinkie Cop! Dares to be like no other plays out there.... Read more Read less

See it if You like black humor, or horror, or horror humor.

Don't see it if You’re easily offended by disturbing things played to comic effect : murder, torture, utter insanity?

Also I laughed A LOT and thought it was terrific. Really well-acted in the slightly Over-the-top way this needs.

There’s gore and suspense and frankly I was totally surprised that I hadn’t guessed the actual background to what was happening between the 2 characters who spend at least the first half alone together on stage. I was dead wrong.

I did anticipate the final “twist”, which didn’t make it any less awesome.

Definitely not for the squeamish or easily-offended. There is a string of cursing that goes on and on.

I feel like this is a play Tarantino would have written early in his career.

I would absolutely see it again. Not even 2 hours long and chock full of dark dark humor. Well done!!... Read more Read less

Don't see it if Do not see if physical violence is disturbing for you. Must be able to see the humor in this very dark play.

See it if you want to be entertained. Starts in midst of drama and maintains throughout. Clever/funny dialogue and good pacing.

Don't see it if you're looking for something highly intelligent or profound. Intention of play more to entertain rather than to say anything about world.

See it if You like dark thriller comedies that might have violence and profanity.

Don't see it if You don’t like violence, gun shots and profanity. If you prefer your comedies to be light and funny.

See it if you like the Cohen brothers and Tarantino

Don't see it if you want more than to be entertained or dislike gruesome scenes played for laughs

See it if Amnesia driven Who-done-it’s are your thing.

Don't see it if Stage Violence, and some blood and crude language are troubling

Also Not a great play but entertaining for its efforts. With different direction and fight choreography the play could be a lot more intense and suspenseful. Not enough at stake. The climax of the play is a fight scene which should be brutal and gripping and suspenseful. With different fight choreo it could be. The set is challenging for a fight scene to play but that’s why it could be great if done well.
The actors were all good and committed but the script needs some work. Needs stronger direction. a couple of times when violence was supposed to be shocking or cringe-worthy, it got laughs. Good premise, decent arcs, unexplained amnesia device is a bit long in the tooth and not consistent through the play. It’s worthseeing, I was entertained, but it is a bit contrived and the ending was a bit anticlimactic due to direction and choreo.... Read more Read less

See it if you're a fan of Tarantino style movies. The violence is both graphic & at times comical.

Don't see it if blood, guts, sex & violence make you uneasy ( there's lots of that).

Also Playwright​ seems to be attempting to try his hand at Tarantino-ish style but is not quite there. Still, a good try.... Read more Read less

See it if if you want a murderous mystery with a twist and some humor, are OK with a very small theater space, are OK with cursing and fake gore.

Don't see it if if lots of cursing turns you off, you don't like small theater spaces, you're not into quirky tales or images of fake blood.

Also The female lead, Amanda Sykes, is very funny and steals the show. Towards the end, it was feeling too long and drawn out for me.... Read more Read less

See it if You want to watch one exceptional performance and are interested in a well-staged play with an interesting premise.

Don't see it if You're bothered by clumsy writing and uneven ensemble performances.

See it if You like plays with Mamet-like verbal circumlocutions. It's a heist-gone wrong trope where one role is a psychopath and the others cope.

Don't see it if You don't like plays that put form over content and attempt to be verbally clever without substance.

See it if You like great acting, dark humor, Tarantino

Don't see it if Not into cursing or blood

See it if If you like mystery, thriller, or dark comedy. Seen comparisons here to Tarantino, I'd agree, but still a very unique story.

Don't see it if If you don't like cursing or sexual themes, or violence. Leaves you with a couple questions still

Also Fabulous acting, high-energy and quick-paced. No intermission (a plus for me, keeps you invested through the end). Plot takes many surprising turns that develop the world of the play and characters well. Comedic and jump-scare bits were well timed. I'd say it fits the dark comedy bill by having funny characters in a serious setting. A drawback though for me was that I got lost at points trying to piece information together.... Read more Read less

See it if You can enjoy profanity and violence tied up in a comedic bow a la Quentin Tarantino-this is the show for you.

Don't see it if Extreme language and death and violence would offend you. You are warned.

See it if You like dark humor- this has lots of it. 3-of-the-4 actors are quite good. Love the aloofness, quirkiness, and wit. Great job by a young

Don't see it if Playwright. Needs some tweaking, but, good. Don't see this if you hate foul language and gore. It's a very small space/ theatre.

See it if you'll look past gore & violence to a weird, but very good play. Plot is filled with dark humor & lots of twists and turns. Worth seeing.

Don't see it if you'll be bothered by lots of cursing, raunchy humor, gore and violence.

See it if You like Grindhouse

Don't see it if Blood, cursing, violence are not your thing

See it if You enjoy a very well acted violent clever well written play with unexpected twists and turns unlocking a murder and car accident

Don't see it if You hate violence and frequent use of curse words

See it if you're up for something different. Vigorous acting, convoluted plot and gore ... lots of blood and violence.

Don't see it if you're put off by frank (and weird) sexual discussion, coarse language, and (Did I mention?) many violent scenes.

Also My take: Just sit there and witness the spectacle in all its Technicolor splendor. Definitely worth seeing.... Read more Read less

See it if you like shows with a twist-a murder mystery.

Don't see it if it's light fare you are after.

See it if A violent & funny denouement of the aftermath of a possible crime. Intriguing & edgy.

Don't see it if Actual and implied violence occur along with plenty of crude language. Could use a bit of editing but characters are oddly compelling.

See it if you like the Q Tarantino style. Very intense and in-your-face in the small space. Warnings: Profanity, extreme violence, gun shots.

Don't see it if you do not need extreme simulated violence or profuse use of profanity in your shows. The bits of humor threw me off, not in a positive way.

Also Be warned, this is an intense play. The small venue and graphic portrayal of torture, not to mention the guns being fired and flaunted throughout leave you uneasy. I sat front row behind the chair, and those guns (I know they're only props, but still!) pointed in my direction made me grimace.... Read more Read less
