See it if Enjoy naturalistic plays and appreciate less-told stories. Moms dealing with ill kids are usually "weepy" or "heroic." This is more subtle.
Don't see it if You prefer a clear dramatic arc with a discernible resolution. This has no conflict, character development or real plot.
See it if you want to see a play about a mother's love & sacrifice to care for her extremely ill child & how it affects her being in dealing with life
Don't see it if you don't like very heavy dramas that leave you both depressed and moved to a point of feeling like you went through the ringer.
See it if you like uniformly excellent acting in a well-written, well-directed heart-string-pulling melodrama punctuated with insight and some laughs
Don't see it if you'll be disappointed by a modest character study that lacks character development and has only a handful of memorable or lovely lines
See it if Great performance by Coon & Cast. Seems to be a very realistic depiction of the hardships of dealing w/ a terminally ill child.
Don't see it if A snapshot of a brief period, the story doesn't cover much ground but it does inform, at times it feels more like a documentary than a play.
See it if You are a Rachel McAdams fan and have to see her on Broadway.
Don't see it if You are wanting to see a play that keeps your attention. This one did not.
See it if You appreciate the struggles of a single mother of a disabled child. Great acting, heart-wrenching.
Don't see it if You're easily depressed
See it if you relate to plays about the struggles of young mothers dealing with exceptionally adverse conditions.
Don't see it if you've already seen more than enough plays about young mothers coping with adversity.
See it if You like serious drama written with enough humor to not be devastating
Don't see it if It pushes your buttons to be immersed in the sad depressing world of death of a child
