Great acting, Intelligent, Thought-provoking, Uneven pacing, Funny

See it if You want a play about big ideas about philosophy & religion. You want an unique view of Jefferson, Dickens & Tolstoy.

Don't see it if You want the same pacing throughout the show: most is well-done, sags towards the end. You have set views on philosophy & religion..

Clever, Ambitious, Thought-provoking, Quirky

See it if you like philosophical discussions (this isn't just about religion, but about how to live). Biographical detail is well used. Strong acting.

Don't see it if talky plays annoy you. There's little plot, but there is style & intellectual insights. Not wildly funny, but consistently clever. Read more

Intriguing, Thought-provoking, Slow, but absorbing

See it if You find premise interesting & would like to watch a heady discussion about religion,ethics and how a life plays out. Cast is all good.

Don't see it if You don't want to concentrate, or see talky play w little action or you need a lot of production. I thought it great, but it's not for all. Read more
