Extraordinary story made into extraordinary theate

See it if nterested in stories brilliantly told and produced for theater. Given what is going on in the Middle East, nothing could be more relevant.

Don't see it if there is no reason not to see it, though it has just completed its New York run, so you cannot see it here, sadly.

Thoughtful, Resonant, Poignant, Unembellished, Absorbing

See it if Tectonic keeps it fresh. Another landmark docudrama from the best. U love museums, libraries, archives. Emotions controlled but intense.

Don't see it if prefer fiction only, or to “do your own research” by scanning 2 wikis, joining a subreddit, & foregoing contact with primary sources Read more

Astonishing, Powerful, Must see

See it if you're looking for intellectually, emotionally & artistically stimulating theater, a fresh take on the banalities of evil and moral compass.

Don't see it if you're looking for a standard play, this is a semi-presentation format, but it is written, directed, acted & staged in a very compelling way
