See it if You'd like an eclectic and experimental take on Wagner's "Ring Cycle" accompanied by a small live orchestra
Don't see it if True-crime, episodic theater doesn't appeal to you. This play followed more an extended meditation on emotion than a linear plot
See it if you enjoy experimental theater, Wagner's Ring Cycle, and intense/intimate performances
Don't see it if you're not open to a non-linear plot or a stream of consciousness production style
