See it if A play about 4 girls in high school and pablo Escobar. Story is in itself okay.
Don't see it if Climax of play is in Spanish. Ending is not that good, could have been better.
See it if When they hand you a paper after that says “Didn’t understand Pablo? Visit www...” you know it’s bad. Absurd, poorly written.
Don't see it if Please don’t waste your time.

"Scheer seems to have not so much invented characters or dialogue but has simply allowed us to eavesdrop on the monthly get-togethers of our four protagonists."

"'Our Dear Dead Drug Lord' explores the capacity for women to reclaim the power to control their own destiny. It is messy, loud, violent, bloody, magic."

"A stunning and unsettling piece of theatre that will stay with audience members long after the curtain call. The memory will either result in dramatic shifts in understanding or even more dramatic descent into entrenchment of thought."
