Exquisite, Great staging, Great writing, Must see, Profound

See it if you want to see necessary, provocative, crucial, so very important theater - and if you like football.

Don't see it if you are unable to deal with graphic descriptions and instances of rape or sexual violence.

Quirky, Intelligent, Hilarious, Relevant, Resonant

See it if you are interested in getting to know yourself better, reflecting on our society's treatment of women and want to be a vehicle for change.

Don't see it if you want to distance yourself from feeling complicit, don't like being presented with tough questions or are uncomfortable with nudity.

Clever, Intelligent, Relevant, Profound, Intense

See it if your mind is open enough to see a comedy about the rape of a 15-year-old girl

Don't see it if you need the playwright to spoon-feed the message of the play to you (although he basically does so in the last 5 minutes) Read more

Clever, Ambitious, Cliched, Confusing, Dizzying

See it if For crowds that love satire and social justice, this is great! I also love the super informative program/bill for the show.

Don't see it if Nothing new is being said that hasn't been said before, but also doesn't "teach" a non informed audience. Metaphors and humor can get muddy.

Intense, Relevant, Thought-provoking, Must see, Great staging

See it if you like dark humor and real life scenarios. Love small productions with a limited number of characters.

Don't see it if you find the subject difficult to discuss, expect costumes/large production.
