Ambitious, Thought-provoking, Intense, Edgy, Confusing

See it if If you want to see a cool set and some great acting. The second act goes off the rails into horror comedy. I wish I understood it. lol.

Don't see it if You don’t want to see sex and loads of blood on stage. Literally, the first act was fine, but the second act?

Great staging, Intense, Thought-provoking, Relevant, Ambitious

See it if you enjoy pointed examinations of race, personal ambition, and complicity, addressed to the marginalized as much as the majority.

Don't see it if you don’t like lightly fantastical elements or violence that is a bit over the top by the end. If you prefer satire that isn’t as blatant.

Well-acted, Confusing, Surreal, Relevant, Thought-provoking

See it if you want a surreal and fairly engaging show that touches on issues of race in several ways - some of which work well, some less so.

Don't see it if you want consistency. Some moments were funny and some were thought-provoking, but some were over-the-top and detracted from the play.

Cliched, Excruciating, Intense, Edgy, Ambitious

See it if you are a Kate Walsh fan. She is fun to watch play the kind of character she is usually not cast as. Definite whiffs of Devil Wears Prada!!!

Don't see it if you are expecting to see a ground-breaking new black play. What this is is an exploration on the idea of the "good negro" vs. "good negro. Read more

Uneven, Long, Great acting, Confusing

See it if you’re down for a “The Devil Wears Prada”-esque workplace drama (ft. extra dose of racism), at least to start things off.

Don't see it if you want a play that fully realizes all of its ideas; do note the content warnings, though they spoil the direction the plot takes. Read more
