See it if Family drama about father and son. Son wanting to go to America.

Don't see it if Story about family alot of good talking, no action.

Don't see it if you have a hard time with accents (not sure that you would here - I thought they were very understandable.)

See it if you like Irish plays done extremely well. As most of Irish Reps productions this one excels. Smart, well acted, and powerful in its message

Don't see it if you are looking for a blockbuster production. This is theater not spectacle. Great acting and great writing carry the drama

See it if Friel's quasi-biographical dramedy of leaving home has a great conceit in having the lead's inner feelings said aloud Fine work from both

Don't see it if Yet the hat trick wears thin in Act 2 as we welcome the volumes that are being 'said' in the silences between father, son & housekeeper
