See it if you want to see a young woman stand out in an otherwise unsatisfying play.
Don't see it if you want to hear all the dialogue as most of the actors don't project enough to be heard over the noisy air conditioner.
See it if I found this play to carry genuine emotion in a world that was both scientific and fantastical. every character has a story to tell
Don't see it if you are triggered by illness or the conversations that may come with it.
See it if you are interested in a rather boring plot concerning death and friendship; parenting
Don't see it if you are easily bored, don't enjoy somewhat insipid characters.
See it if You are interested in cerebral and philosophical plays
Don't see it if You want an upbeat happy go lucky show
See it if You like plays in the theme of "The Notebook" with worse dialogue and character development.
Don't see it if You were expecting anything mature, earned, or well-written. You know anybody with cancer.
See it if You like family drama
Don't see it if Are wanting a suspenseful thriller
See it if You want to see great writing and strong performances.
Don't see it if You are uncomfortable with medical discussions
See it if you want to be engrossed in a brilliantly written play.
Don't see it if You don't like uncomfortable situations.

"The plot is impressively intricate. Unfortunately, this leaves the play feeling unfocused and overlong; a tighter arc might have allowed for deeper emotional investment...Because we are not given a chance to know the characters before they must confront matters of life and death, the dialogue doesn't always feel earned...The play lacks the profundity that it seems to be aiming for. Instead, it hits the audience over the head with ideas that might have worked better as subtext."
