Great acting, Great staging, Great writing, Absorbing, Intense

See it if you like powerful, generational stories. A beautiful cast supported by great tech in a small space.

Don't see it if you find plays about suicide triggering. This play deal with a family grappling with a great loss, and how they make it to the other side.

Great acting, Delightful, Absorbing, Thought-provoking

See it if you'd enjoy a wonderfully acted play of a family in distress, coping and coming to terms with the suicide of a loved one.

Don't see it if the subject matter is too heavy or its intensity felt too great/too close in this really small theater. Read more

Intense, Ambitious, Absorbing, Intelligent, Relevant

See it if An intensely emotional dive into a family wrestling with mental illness, creatively told with sensitivity and love. Well acted.

Don't see it if This is focused on the emotional aspects of mental illness and is not light entertainment. Only a few moments of fun and laughter

Great acting, Absorbing, Intelligent, Profound, Slow

See it if You’d like a truly deeply emotional story that takes some unexpected turns, really helping to unlock characters inner selves. Clever turns.

Don't see it if Death and suicide and family dysfunction can trigger you. Some of this…is slow getting there…but once you do is pretty raw. Read more

Nice lighting for water setting and trope, Absorbing, Dealing with grief, Great writing, Great acting

See it if Processing family dynamics, grief, anxiety,& loss is useful; Interesting thoughts in lines("Words can hold what I cannot")& swim/drown trope

Don't see it if You're not in mood to process sadness, grief, overwhelming feelings. You can't sit for 1hr45min without an intermission. Read more

Lighting & Sound America

“Adams gets bogged down in a) maudlin scenes of mourning that do nothing to advance the action and b) a laundry list of metaphors (swimming/drowning, the slave trade, a mythical sea witch) designed to illustrate her theme. Meanwhile, she leaves her characters starved of specificity.”
