From the show:
A tech startup tries to solve the hardest problem known to science: the female orgasm.
What’s the hardest part of making a dent in the universe? Finding the people who want to dent it with you. Last Gasp is a new comedy set in the waning days of yet another artificial intelligence startup in San Francisco. They’ve burned down to their last few dollars of funding trying to revolutionize the technology of self pleasure. These tech bros think that they know what women want, an artificially intelligent vibrator. But they’re running out of money and out of time, so they turn to the one person who might be able to save their startup, a female investor. When an experienced executive walks into their lab, she upends their little startup and their lives forever. They furiously pivot the product, get in and out of deals, and fall in and out of love. Will they ever figure out just what it is that women want?

Don't see it if Endlessly talky dialogue with very little action or humor in a dull and listless production might put you to sleep because this will.

Don't see it if A boring plot was undermined by a new actor on book and a leading lady who could not project
See it if If you see only one play about sex toys this year...make it one you enact yourself with actual marital aids. This is a bit of a mess, TBH.
Don't see it if It's slightly misogynistic. It was had to hear 2 of the actors. I didn't care about 2 of the 3 characters and actively hated the 3rd. Avoid.

See it if Have nothing better to do; pleasant young actors
Don't see it if No real play there and one can’t hear a word the leading lady is trying to say
See it if you wanna take a chance that you'll enjoy it based on the naughty-sounding subject matter alone, since it's admittedly an interesting idea.
Don't see it if you're hoping for something hilarious and risqué, as this was a very dialogue-heavy play that ultimately didn't go anywhere interesting.

See it if you want to experience different new shows, small or big, explore what's happening, and not risk spending too much money
Don't see it if you only want to see mature productions. This show definitely needs improvement for acting and story telling. Slow at the beginning.
Also I kinda like the geek guy who had to read the script because they had ... Read more Read less
