Great acting, Intelligent, Disappointing

See it if You want to see great acting and are drawn to narratives about families and aging parents

Don't see it if You need to have at least one likeable character to care about. You won't find any here...........

Great acting, staging, direction of smart, observant "young" writer's poignant play

See it if to laugh, cringe, let-go of the solitude of guilt and sadness, loss of certainties; reflected through prisms of new media, old habits.

Don't see it if some find staging, structure cryptic: to me, both support theme of construction/ de-construction of our minds today. Where (and who)are we?

Thought-provoking, Great staging, Unique voice

See it if You like deep themes treated in ways that reveal little, where what's not being said (or done, or shown) is as important as what's on stage.

Don't see it if You need things to be clearly explained, have a short attention span or too young to have needed to care for a loved one.

Challenges the audience but too abstract to care deeply

See it if very clever/funny riff on Glass Menagerie where central question becomes what responsibility does son have 2 impossible mother; strong leads

Don't see it if Amanda Wingfield character unbelievably irresponsible, ending in purgatory, a misstep; ultimately you don't care enough about characters

Funny, Great acting, Resonant, Slow

See it if you enjoy shows about family relations, or want to see some remarkable performances.

Don't see it if the subject of a parent’s aging and mortality make you uncomfortable, or you prefer something “high tempo.” This may be a downer for some.

Clever, Great acting, Great staging, Great writing, Slow

See it if you want to see some masterful use of doubling and other creative theatrical elements.

Don't see it if you are expecting a less abstract play.
