See it if Masterful use of language in this 5 character play. Guirgis is skillful at capturing the language of the characters. Topical. Fun at times.
Don't see it if If you want a 90 minute comedy. Drama about incarceration.
See it if you want a dark, profound play with funny moments; you want to see great performances in a well written play with themes of law and religion
Don't see it if You want fluffy comedy or musical, you don't like dark plays, rough language, prison settings, religious or violent themes. Read more
See it if you like the relevant drama. Great writing and acting!
Don't see it if you prefer to turn you brain off and just have a good time.
See it if you understand this is prison-themed high-drama, w/LOUD intense intimidating non-stop cursing. LOTS of monologues but the acting is strong.
Don't see it if you're a wuss. Enough humor & the intermission helps you process & digest Act I. Big crescendo in Act 2, w/seemingly inevitable resolution. Read more
See it if you like dark humor and lyrical language (which isn't to say it isn't profane at times, but it's poetic profanity).
Don't see it if naturalistic plays aren't your thing or you don't like monologues or plays about prison.
See it if you appreciate the thought provoking, conversation starting dialogue of Gurgis. Solid acting throughout.
Don't see it if you are looking for a plot driven play, this story is more of an exploration into society and faith.
See it if You like plays that make you think. This one succeeds on so many different levels.
Don't see it if It's a difficult play to watch, a searing examination of our justice system, how it impacts those who administer it and those incarcerated.
See it if You enjoy tough themes relevant to our society. Brilliant acting.
Don't see it if Profanity offends you. You are upset by brutal themes.
