See it if If you want to see the funniest show Off-Broadway. If you're a supporter of great new writers. If you're used to seeing quality, this is it!
Don't see it if If you have a problem hearing actors with Nigerian accents. In fact, there is NO reason NOT to see this terrific production. It was perfect!
See it if You want to see one of the best new off off Broadway comedies of this season. You are curious about "Nollywood" i.e. Nigerian film industry.
Don't see it if You can't deal with listening to heavy African accented dialogue sometimes spoken rapidly.? You have no interest in a play set in Nigeria.
See it if A Nigerian perspective on TV and movie making sounds interesting. Hollywood, Bombay, and Lagos are not that different.
Don't see it if You aren't interested in new playwrights and new plays just coming together. Read more
See it if Bioh's NYC writing debut a robust crowd pleaser Funny, sharp look at Nigerian film industry, urban African society & human nature in one act
Don't see it if Accents pose a little problem (esp in rapid conversation) Outstanding ensemble with an edge to Oprah-esque Sowunmi or lazy sister Mensah
See it if You are looking for a relaxing evening in the theater with some great laughs and some wonderful characters.
Don't see it if You are looking for something deep or depressing.
See it if sassy, quick wit and a fast pace with over the top acting done well is what you're looking for.
Don't see it if Nigerian soap opera based play is not what you're seeking.
See it if you want to see some truly smart comedy writing centered in reality and not absurdity, and some REALLY great performances.
Don't see it if you're expecting an "issue" play. This is a comedy (and a really good one).
