See it if you are very patient. It's slow. Nothing really makes sense.

Don't see it if Want to see a show that is well written. It's not. It's slow and never makes any cohesive statement.

Also When a play starts off with a twenty minute monologue, you are often in deep trouble. Nothing makes sense in this mess. You don't care about any of these people. I couldn't wait for it to end. The acting is very good. I don't blame the actors who give it their best. I could hear the music from Finian's Rainbow playing upstairs. I was wishing I was watching that. I love the Irish Rep, but this is dull, pointless theatre.... Read more Read less
