The Layover

See it if You like dark comedy and dramatic irony. The writer pokes fun at people doing ridiculous things to take a break from their commitments.

Don't see it if You don't like satirical relationship scenes. The play rambles a bit, but is mostly witty while posing serious questions.

See it if adultery is a theme that interests you.

Don't see it if you're looking for something fresh or just generally well written (this is not).

See it if You want to see a diverting and entertaining show. All of the performances were excellent.

Don't see it if You want to see a light comedic show. This is pretty is pretty serious and depressing although there are laughs along the way.

See it if you want to experience how 90 minutes can feel like an eternity. Why didn't the director or the dramaturge assist the writer?

Don't see it if you have other plays to see. This one is not memorable.

See it if Like couples' dramas about betrayal; have ever wanted to escape a humdrum life and seek adventure and face unexpected consequences

Don't see it if You are very moral and dislike plays with sexual overtones; Recently broke up a relationship; Cannot watch elder abuse Have trust issues

See it if you appreciate sharp and witty dialogue, are interested in the deconstruction of love at first sight and a 90 minute character study

Don't see it if you are unforgiving of a WTF ending, you are looking for more suspense, you need to feel personally invested in the characters

See it if You enjoy solid acting in a great linear story that keeps you guessing as to what might happen and shocks you at the end.

Don't see it if You don't like stories that feel real. Or don't feel like being taken for a ride that is going to dump you somewhere other then you thought.

See it if Had me on the edge of my seat at times. Complicated set was effective. Sexy chemistry between Rothenberg and Parisse - her last perf, tho

Don't see it if Cliched ending spoiled the fun -- and Headland's twisty imagination. Overlapping scenes of two families mostly worked. Overall, a good play

See it if you have nothing else to do. The staging is interesting. Some of the acting is good. There are some great lines, but....

Don't see it if you expect more from this gifted playwright. Don't see it if actors who cannot deliver lines without making faces annoy you.

See it if Interesting premise. Snappy dialog. Good (and good-looking!) performers. Doesn't go where you thought it would.

Don't see it if Slow in many spots. I found myself fidgeting. They say it's 90 minutes, but it was 2 hours with no intermission. I left saying, huh?

Also Tries to be a play noir, with many film noirs playing on the screen behind in case you,didn't get it. Starts out interesting, but takes a sharp left turn in the final scene that you won't see coming. And I don't think that's necessarily a good thing. The end does not flow organically from the rest of the play. Thus, my huh? at the end.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if you are offended by explicit sexualily or infidelity themes.

See it if Like a soso sitcom with a great performane by Annie Parisee

Don't see it if You werent fond of strangers on a train, its a poor imitation

See it if you want to see how a play can fall apart with just one scene change. Staging and acting are quite good, though.

Don't see it if you have something better to do.

See it if you don't mind a promising, engaging play being somewhat derailed at the 11th hour by a perplexing lack of coherence between start & finish.

Don't see it if you would mind that. I don't regret seeing it, as it holds the audience's interest & is performed well. It's just frustrating on the whole.

See it if you like twist endings. Story builds to an somewhat interesting and confusing ending.

Don't see it if The story does not make much sense. Short scenes. Ending contrived. Two families are over the top.

See it if you relish the freshness emerging in playwrights, plays, & actors Off-Broadway; you like contemporary works; you don't mind uneven writing.

Don't see it if you're easily offended by sexuality, foul-mouthed children, & affairs. The play's finale undoes what could've been highly-shocking new work.

Don't see it if You don't like mysteries

See it if I solid first act that fizzles hard in the second.

Don't see it if Ok to skip this one.

See it if Two strangers, leading unfulfilling and dull lives, meet, one creates a fantasy life, is exposed, and they fall in love. Surprise ending.

Don't see it if are tired of the rich boy meets poor girl living their dull lives, fall in love, meet up and...... I will not spoil the ending, sorry.

Don't see it if Can't suspend your disbelief.

See it if see amazing actors perform an entertaining plot. Maria and Adam had great chemistry. Me and friends were pleasantly surprised. Great Staging

Don't see it if had or victim of an affair. Can't sit still for 90 minutes. Don't like great acting and great shows.

See it if you want to see a very fine cast in a play that starts well and ends badly

Don't see it if you expect the quality of writing in Bachlorette. Desperately needs rewriting. Starts strong and deteriorates. Final scene unnecessary.

See it if you like snappy conversation. Very good acting and staging. Interesting characters that, by the play's end, are not entirely believable.

Don't see it if want a play with a clear ending. It ended leaving me scratching my head.

See it if you enjoy a show about a chance encounter developing into a dramatic, complicated situation

Don't see it if you don't like shows about sex and infidelity, and profanity

Also The show intrigues you from the beginning, drawing you in for most of the show. It's well-staged, but the ending is a major letdown.... Read more Read less
