Thought-provoking, Intense, Absorbing, Original, Relevant

See it if you want to see a thoughtful, relevant piece about morality, ambition and human relationships. The staging and acting are good, as well.

Don't see it if you just want light entertainment. Also, if you've OD'd on Lance Armstrong stories, then perhaps this morality tale isn't for you.

Edgy, Thought-provoking, Great writing, Original, Intense

See it if you like edgy, inventive writing and staging. This play takes a cutting look at "the American dream" of money and success, whatever it takes

Don't see it if you want it to be perfect. It needed to move a little more quickly and be more consistently bloodthirsty and angst-ridden for that.

Great acting, Intense, Great staging

See it if you enjoy compelling and dedicated acting. the set was beautiful. the moral dilemma explored was largely gripping and nuanced.

Don't see it if you don't like shows that are considered 'talky' or trying too hard to be morally ambiguous/complex.

Ambitious, Great staging, Original, Refreshing

See it if you want to see an original set (very cool), rapid fire dialogue, up and down relationships, and like sports related dilemmas.

Don't see it if you find it hard to understand fast talking.

Fun set, Credulity challenged

See it if You would like to see a drama of conflicted (and very limited) morality on the most unique set of the season.

Don't see it if You have problems with suspension of disbelief when little of what you are seeing and hearing rings as authentic.
