Some Old Black Man NYC Reviews and Tickets

See it if you're interested in how different people experience racism; parent/grown child friction and bickering; strong acting by a duo.

Don't see it if you want a light drama without conflict; you don't like two person plays or the subject matter. I was very affected by their relationship.

See it if You want to see terrific acting elevate a good albeit not terribly surprising play.

Don't see it if You have had your fill of family generational conflicts.

See it if You like intimate drama about race and class and the complicated relationship between an adult son and his aging dad

Don't see it if You want fast action packed theater. This is 90 minutes of dialogue

See it if You like the issues, grist for a good play...generational tension, aging and losing independence, approaches to institutional racism.

Don't see it if While you can allow dad and son are estranged, the utter lack of empathy in the situation they've created screams false and not credible.

See it if FULL DISCLOSURE: reflects performance with understudy in 1 role of 2-hander who went on with book in hand; eldercare issues interest you

Don't see it if you expect depth in writing or structure; sitcom setups provide some laughs but intended pathos is harder to come by Read more

See it if You enjoy thought provoking drama about universal issues: elderly parents needing care: family conflicts: racism from a black point of view

Don't see it if You prefer more lighthearted entertainment which avoids serious topics Read more

See it if You really really really want to see the actor who plays Bunk on the wire. But he and his fellow actor didn’t do a very good job at all.

Don't see it if You are expecting good acting and an interesting take on an important topic. I found it to be trite and pointless. Also poorly acted.

See it if You enjoy great acting about contemporary race and family relations.

Don't see it if You want a roaring musical.
