See it if you love plays about youthful relationships; both couples are right out of college. Should be more: more funny, profound, insightful, moving

Don't see it if you want a polished work. The script needs cutting, altho there are good moments, esp'ly the end when the monologues come together.

Also There's too much swearing (it doesn't make the dialogue more interesting or authentic...just more tedious). And the "funny" Scott isn't very funny. The script should be tauter and more amusing. Gwen shouldn't cry in every scene. Still, I've seen much worse plays. This one has its heart in the right place. And it's refreshing that a male playwright wanted to tackle the subject of love and made both his male characters more focused on the issue than the females!... Read more Read less

See it if You want a relationship drama that goes beyond the cliches . You want realistic, complicated feelings about falling in & out of love.

Don't see it if You hate relationship dramas. You want simple romance & a happily ever after.

See it if you want a safe cute play that will may you say "I have felt like that at some point in my life with a boy/girl" they did a nice job in the

Don't see it if end, tying everything up. If you are looking for something different you will be underwhelmed. This was very fluffy and the acting was bad

See it if Like to explore relationship dynamics & don't care if story is about college age /early 20's folks. Cast is young/able, writing rings true.

Don't see it if You can't sit on really uncomfortable chair for 90 mins, don't like shows in a tiny space, want everything light, don't like profanity.

Also I thought the costumes were surprisingly good. The set was uninspired but OK, and more than I expected from such a small production. Unfortunately, the lighting didn't feel adequate and there were a lot of dark spaces that the actors performed from.... Read more Read less

See it if you enjoy black box presentations, up close and personal, about falling in and falling out of young love; the ins and outs of relationships

Don't see it if you've been there before - nothing new here, but well done (omit the last scene please) and talented cast. The chairs were indeed the worst.

Also I am upset to see that Show-Score is still allowing people involved in shows to score them 95 to 100 when it's obvious they don't come anywhere near a "Hamilton", and bring the average rating way up. These types of reviews badly skew the numbers.... Read more Read less

See it if A relationship dramedy with 2 characters who attain insight into themselves and their relationship and 2 who do not. Intimate at times,...

Don't see it if ...banal at others. Sam character is well-acted, Abby character does develop, the others less successful. A bit like a student production.

See it if If like to see the "good guys" win after being torn apart emotionally. 5 extra points for Simone Serra's monologue-worth the admission $s.

Don't see it if Your old enough to know how these situations almost always turn out and unwilling to indulge in the fantasy.

See it if You want to see a play about two couples on their romantic journey and where it takes them. The ups, down and ins and outs of romance.

Don't see it if You are not interested in a romantic play. You don't believe in love and heartache and breaking up and finding new love.

Also Everyone did a fantastic job. I love Abby, she was a pip. She is the type of friend that keeps it real. I liked the monologue and how it tied everything together and let us know what the actors were thinking. I felt is was easy to relate to them during they play and especially when they did their monologue. The play moves along at a nice pace and I liked how it takes you back to the beginning. Very good play. I truly enjoyed this performance.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to see great acting with characters developing in a realistic way as they confront life, love, friendships, ambitions, etc.

Don't see it if you can't sit in a metal chair for 90 minutes.

Also I really enjoyed this play and think it deserves a better venue. It was staged iat the Studio Theater on the 4th floor - a small theater with only metal seats which were very uncomfortable.

The acting and script were great.

I saw this show in Feb 2017 at Theater Row.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if You want to see a script full of unnecessary F words, and slow progression of the plot.

Also The story itself is banal, and the cryings are not natural. The chemistry between the actors is okay, though. Inserting the monologues into the plot is also a smart idea. Besides that, the play makes me impatient.... Read more Read less
