Absorbing, Clever, Great acting, Funny, Quirky

See it if you enjoy topical comedy with serious undertones, interested in role of women in workplace, family issues,past secrets and Janie Dee's perf.

Don't see it if you don't like somewhat contrived coincidences, some twee plot developments and characters, or lots of plot

Entertaining, Great acting, Relevant, Thought-provoking, Quirky

Great acting, Great staging, Relevant, Thought-provoking, Confusing

See it if You are interested in plays about gender inequality and hanker for strong female leads. Janie Dee is terrific if a bit strident at times.

Don't see it if You are frustrated by the overly ambitious and under-realized panoply of sub-themes, the ineffective ending. A worthwhile if flawed endeavor

Intelligent, Relevant, Resonant

See it if you enjoy theatre that is enlightening. Women of all ages should see this play.

Don't see it if you aren't interested in being enlightened about women's issues.

Disappointing, Intelligent, Relevant, Good acting, Slow

See it if Janie Dee is the powerhouse behind Skinner's cautionary, overwrought "woman has it all" tale. Ikeda offers fine support as damaged daughter

Don't see it if Intelligent & well written but oddly flat and more damaging - unaffecting. Linda as victim of consequences not a cause never really explored

Entertaining, Well acted

See it if You loved All About Eve and appreciate the updating to 21st century characters and issues.

Don't see it if You need a play with a tidy ending.

Intense, Thought-provoking, Ambitious, Resonant, Edgy

See it if You are into family disfunction, strong women, excellent acting and a lovely evening out.

Don't see it if It's very worthwhile. Just see it. The actress playing Linda is excellent.
