Thought-provoking, Good acting

See it if you like one man shows, comedies focused on how a medical diagnosis impacts ones life.

Don't see it if you dont want show about medical issues. Tired of the portrayal of men wanting sex vs women not.

Clever, Great acting, Entertaining, Resonant, Thought-provoking

See it if solo shows with good scripts are enough for you, or if you have any connection to or curiosity about Parkinson's.

Don't see it if you're tired of disease plays, although this one has a good combination of humor and seriousness. It's a small show with a lot of heart.

Thought-provoking, Funny, Ambitious

See it if It’s one mans journey through his family’s experience with Parkinson’s, but also with keeping a secret about facing a degenerative condition

Don't see it if It’s an amusing take on a serious situation, not laugh out loud funny though he tries hard. A little overacting but genuine sentiment.

Ambitious, Edgy, Thought-provoking

See it if If you like one person shows that deal with disease. A show that is over acted at times

Don't see it if Do not want to see a show about Parkinson's or that has strong language in it. If you like me than a solo performance.
