Absorbing, Great acting, Great staging, Great writing, Intelligent

See it if Engrossing play based in prison,uses the characters to discuss religious and societal issues. Terrific performances by all.

Don't see it if You prefer lighter fare.There are comedic elements,but it is a dark play. Don't see it if issues regarding murder are too sensitive for you.
