Ambitious, Great acting, Absorbing

See it if You like serious stories with strong acting, and accept minimal (really minimal) set design.

Don't see it if You need big production values, prefer comedies, have an aversion to dimly lit stages (portions of the show are in near darkness).

Absorbing, Great acting, Intense, Resonant, Intelligent

See it if You enjoy beautifully told stories about a moment in history that isn't discussed a great deal. Great acting and movement on a small stage

Don't see it if You have trouble with accents or plays that jump between moments and force you to keep up.

Funny, Great acting, Resonant, Bittersweet

See it if You like plays about history, accents, and monologues.

Don't see it if If you can't understand accents of Ireland and the British Isles, plays involving war, or a happy ending.

Terse, Fluid, Engaging, Well-coordinated ensemble

See it if WWII, Britain, Steel-making, Brits Off-Broadway, Theatrical Collage, and Ensemble shows interest you.

Don't see it if you require a linear plot, single protagonists, and American accents.

Thought-provoking

See it if you enjoy World War II dramas.

Don't see it if you need a more nuanced and less predictable script...the writing is pretty strong despite being several steps ahead of it.

Great acting, Great staging, Confusing, Ambitious, Edgy

See it if you like ensemble theater, you are okay with non-linear stories that are portraits of times and people rather than an action-packed plot

Don't see it if you can't handle non-linear stories, you prefer stories where characters have clear differences and lots of development

Absorbing, Intense, Intelligent

See it if Time passes for four Brit blokes trapped in a steelworks after a bomb strike. Nicely choreogrphed foundry. Ensemble works well together.

Don't see it if Blokes in a black box. Working-class accents. Monologues. Darkness. No props or set. Bomb strike hits midway through 75 min. running.
