MEMBERS SAY:
See it if you enjoy plays about writers—especially mystery writers like Patricia Highsmith—who is a character in this cat & mouse play.
Don't see it if you like a play that starts reasonably well and then takes a quick nosedive. Poor acting and staging also lead to this play's downfall.
See it if You like caustic writer types talking about writing and writers; you have a vested interest in Highsmith or Ripley.
Don't see it if You want a satisfying conclusion. The play works when it's about the real-life characters; not so when it becomes a psychological thriller.
See it if you have nothing else to do and you love the country and the playwright.
Don't see it if you love spy movies and books - will be disappointed.
