See it if you want to see the similarities between 1930s Nazi Germany and the gangster cities of Chicago and Cicero.
Don't see it if you are disappointed by a play with too much symbolism, loudness and confusing dialogue.
See it if you like Bertolt Brecht plays no matter how poorly they are done.
Don't see it if you want to see a well directed play. Director John Doyle did needlessly bizarre & confusing things that made the play difficult to follow.
See it if You need a nap. Seriously, it was that bad.
Don't see it if This was easily the worst play I've ever seen.
See it if You enjoy great acting and thought provoking shows
Don't see it if You enjoy fluff. Comedy or musicales
See it if You are interested in great performances in a small intimate theater.
Don't see it if You are offended by correlation to current political climate
See it if you love Brecht, John Doyle, or that fine ass Raul Esparza.
Don't see it if you have difficulty with Brecht or John Doyle just doesn't do it for you anymore. Read more
See it if It's a powerful show that is not at all subtle and makes you reflect on our times. Raul Esparza is excellent, as is the ensemble.
Don't see it if You'd prefer something lighthearted without references to a dark time in history.
See it if You like good theater. Acting is top notch, especially Raul Esparza in the lead role.
Don't see it if You get bored with wordy dramas.
