Noura NYC Reviews and Tickets

See it if To see a very interesting story that is very well written and not a story you have seen before on stage, Heather Raffo is wonderful

Don't see it if Not into an intellectual drama, if you’re looking for something explosive, it’s very slow slow burn drama that takes patience and grace

See it if you like a reflective and sometimes complex story about family; women writers, directors, a women's reflection on adopting a new country.

Don't see it if you are looking for action over thought as the ​main focus of play.

See it if you recognize A DOLL'S HOUSE as a classic and might enjoy a riff. Lead actress (the playwright) is wonderful, as is the simple set, but

Don't see it if it took a while -- and much exposition -- before the point of the play became apparent. Too confusing until that point is reached.

See it if complex emotional drama that touches upon current issues of immigration, identity and acceptance.

Don't see it if you're not interested in theater addressing serious current issues

See it if you enjoy thought provoking ideas and want to look at certain issues from more than one angle.

Don't see it if you want a neat simply tied up story or have no interest in the culture of immigrants.

See it if you want to see characters you don't typically see on stage/screen: Iraqi-American Christians. Great acting and play tackles relevant topics

Don't see it if you're looking for more in terms of compelling drama. It's more of a character portrait than an edge-of-your seat drama.

See it if Intelligent play depicting an Iraqi Christian family and their experience of living in the US - with dramatic and unexpected plot twists

Don't see it if You're not interested in the immigrant experience

See it if Interesting themes of cultural dislocation and mental chaos from past trauma. Actors convey the anxiety, confusion & emptiness.

Don't see it if Characters are insufficiently developed to make their suffering convincing. They emote a lot over their guilt, but I didn't empathize.
