Absorbing, Enchanting, Confusing, Quirky, Clever

See it if You are a Shel Silverstein fan. There are quite a few nods to him. You want to see a play that is both haunting and beautiful.

Don't see it if You want something "family friendly." Despite its themes, it is not really a show aimed at young audiences. Although kids can enjoy it too. Read more

Intense, Indulgent, Disappointing, Good staging, Uneven acting

See it if Good acting talent, but the lead went overboard. Attempt to pin the lead's writer's block on the Holocaust was less than believable.

Don't see it if If you are uncomfortable with irrational outbursts, lack of control, and unmotivated behavior.

Indulgent, Quirky, Slow

See it if You are interested in the story of a young man who is sent to try help author get over his writers block a bit of supernatural. Interesting

Don't see it if You want to hear a lot of talking that could have been cut down to make the script more approachable.

Good set, An adaptation of deathtrap, Well-acted, Slow, Shallow characters

See it if ...you're a big fan of Dan Lauria. He gets to chew the scenery. Good set. Good projections. Story is an adaptation of Ira Levin's DEATHTRAP

Don't see it if Characters are thinly drawn, with minimal development or backstory. Slow-moving.

Ambitious, Cliched, Great acting, Slow

See it if A Dan Lauria fan, like small Off-Broadway shows in a nice intimate theatre. You're into a night of twisted intense theatre.

Don't see it if You want to laugh or you want to see a light musical. You can't sit through a show without an intermission.
