Clever, Original, Quirky, Cliched

See it if you like creatively staged shows or you're a fan of Chekhov's The Seagull.

Don't see it if very creative staging won't be enough to overcome a fairly clichéd plotline.

Great play, not the best direction

See it if Lots of great ideas here and faithful to Chekhov, which matters to me (see my profile).

Don't see it if But not great direction of the actors. Best moments were when actors engaged with audience and toned down to more authentic performances.

Ambitious, Clever, Original, Quirky, Absorbing

See it if you like quirky humor, enjoy the fourth wall broken, think Chekhov could use a good ribbing, care for a modern take-off on The Seagull

Don't see it if you regard Chekhov as a master who cannot be violated, don't like the f-word which is used a lot, don't like actors talking to audience

Raw, Resonant, Messy, Exciting, Great writing

See it if you want to see the artifice of everyday life stripped away and raw emotions on display.

Don't see it if an experimental deconstruction of a play doesn't interest you.

Quirky, Clever, Intense

See it if you like modernization of classics. Important to know 'The Seagull' by Chekhov. Some very interesting ideas along the way.

Don't see it if you don't like melodrama and some chaos.

Clever, Great acting, Funny, Confusing, Indulgent

See it if great acting, original score, entertaining, original in conception since it transports Uncle Vanya play to modern times.

Don't see it if if you expect a more traditional play. This one can be very confusing at times.
