See it if theatrical history and imaginative productions appeal. Less about Hamlet, more about famous actors who played him. One astounding monolog.

Don't see it if avant garde work is not for you. It is a one man show where the actor spends his time arranging props. Plot takes a long time to appear.

See it if You are up on theater doings and history.

Don't see it if You dislike avant-garde theater.

Also I attended this with a friend who heard it is a can't-miss. She is much more knowledgeable about the theater than I am, and she really enjoyed it. I admit I was lost most of the time. I didn't have the background to know who was speaking on the recordings that were played, and the only knowledge I have of Ian Charleson is that he starred in Chariots of Fire. Other members of the young-skewing audience seemed to enjoy this a lot, so I can chalk my befuddlement up to ignorance on my part!... Read more Read less

See it if you want the see the Hamlet of the decade.

Don't see it if you want something with a concrete plot - though if that's true, you might as well avoid UTR altogether

See it if you are interested in philosophical explorations of art

Don't see it if you are expecting this to be the story of Hamlet

Also I was very pleasantly surprised by this show, as it was not at all what I was expecting. Dickie Beau was masterful, not only in his conception of the show but in the execution. It was a very touching look at what we perceive to be taboo and standard in art, and how we react to art itself. A very enjoyable evening.... Read more Read less

See it if you like one-person shows and modern recorded music and ambitious avant garde showmanship with Hamlet references.

Don't see it if You want more traditional theater. If you don't like modern performance art style one-person shows this would not be for you.
