Great acting, Great writing, Intelligent, Strange, Edgy

See it if you're interested in explorations of sexuality, monogamy/polygamy, or relationships.

Don't see it if you're looking for something more linear.

Ambitious, Confusing

See it if You're willing to be puzzled over what it means. The play is interesting, and I didn't hate it (friends did) but I didn't get it either.

Don't see it if Sexual situations on stage make you uncomfortable.

Provocative sarah ruhl tries to provoke again but loses her way

See it if 1st act features Bob Carol Ted Alice-like shocking and hilarious foursome, charismatic Lena Hall, winning Marisa Tomei

Don't see it if incoherent 2nd act goes NOWHERE in extending plot/rich themes of scandalous 1st act, becomes banal appeal to love thy neighbor

Great acting, Wordy, Much ado about nothing

See it if You care more about seeing great actors than about the play's message or you don't mind a muddled message.

Don't see it if You want your theater to have a clear point of view.
