See it if wonderful writing - great language in the regional British working class characters.
Don't see it if you don't understand British accents and don't like learning new evocative lnaguage
See it if you like British drama and can understand Yorkshire accents and colloquialisms.
Don't see it if You're not into plays based in one location that focus on one theme
See it if If you can take the time to read the vocabulary list first Wait a few minutes for the the characters to begin to develop
Don't see it if Can't take regional accents
See it if You like realistic theater that doesn't have things "happening" every second, but paints vivid pictures of characters & tells a strong story
Don't see it if You are impatient, struggle with British accents or want action-packed theater.
See it if If you like British humor and locker room talk in a bakery. All male cast, non-musical. Witty, clever, interesting.
Don't see it if Reminded me of Billy Elliot If you took out the story of the dancing boy and just listened to the minors hanging out at work (not on strike)
See it if you are unafraid of seeing pure British work and like Richard Bean's masterful writing. Great acting and very witty.
Don't see it if you cannot appreciate a repetitive theme embedded in existential undertones. Takes a bit getting use to the play, as it is constant.
See it if have patience for a slow burn. Wonderful accents. Opposed to most plays, the 2nd act was tighter than the 1st. So in that respect it worked
Don't see it if you need a logical conclusion. I can wrap my head around the most bizarre Monty Python sketch... but not this! Death? Lighting=??? Help!
See it if You don't mind very slow moving dramas with thin plot but expose you to a variety of characters
Don't see it if You want some actual development of plot and some action in a play
