See it if you want to see a relevant piece excellently done. Adding a cast truly took it to another level. Beautiful!
Don't see it if you aren't interested in the important issues that are still relevant today.
See it if you like powerful political plays. This work is 2000% relevant after all these yrs and performed by a chameleon-like ensemble of artists.
Don't see it if you want light work. This is not avoidance/whimsical entertainment and not for faint of heart. Many pts are still emotionally devastating.
See it if you are curious to see how well Smith’s solo show has aged. Fear not! It’s as riveting as ever, acted with visceral clarity by a great cast.
Don't see it if you’d rather not be reminded that much has not changed since the Rodney King riots.
See it if you want to see a reimagined production of Anna Devere Smith's solo show. It works beautifully thanks to a superb cast and astute direction.
Don't see it if you don't like documentary theatre. This play bridges the gap from 1992 to where we are today.
See it if you love Anna Deavere Smith,care about civil rights,the BLM movement.Forceful reminder that we are still fighting the same fight 30yrs later
Don't see it if you want a frothy musical.This play has something important to say.It is entertaining but is not comfortable.Makes you think about yourself
See it if you want to see a masterful piece, sadly still so relevant even almost 30 years later. Twilight LA does not disappoint on any level.
Don't see it if you are not willing to deal with the ongoing racism -- this week's election ? -- in this country. Read more
See it if Investigates how much has and more so hasn’t changed since the racial uprising in the wake of the Rodney King verdict. Fees freshly relevant
Don't see it if This is a tough watch with video of violence. The 5 person cast is great, but I can only imagine how strong it was as a solo for its writer.
See it if you want an in-depth presentation of the complexity of race relations, superior acting, and can tolerate a play with no dialog.
Don't see it if dislike a serious presentation of race relation & policies told in a series of stories by the actors to the audience, with no dialog.

More than any play I have seen in a very long time, Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992 lays bare America as an interlocking network of authentic grievances, festering resentments, and cultural misunderstandings -- all packed into a social system where inequality is too often the norm. There's real drama in these clashing viewpoints; each person holds a piece of truth, but the bigger picture can only be revealed if all are shared.

"FIVE STARS!... Perhaps Smith’s most remarkable achievement is her refusal to editorialize. She simply presents the facts and opinions as told by others. Her panoramic coverage is set forth so that audience members may make of it what they will."

An intense, disturbing, and impeccably produced production. Deavere Smith has now surrendered her one-person show to the very capable hands of these fine actors (Tiffany Rachelle Stewart, Karl Kenzler, Elena Hurst, Francis Jue and Wesley T. Jones) and their director Taibi Magar as well as the extensive production crew. This was an unusual choice, and it has paid off.

"There are at least three startling moments in Signature Theater’s revised production of this 29-year-old play that each in a different way bolsters my conviction that Anna Deavere Smith is one of America’s greatest living theater artists, and “Twilight 1992: Los Angeles 1992” one of her signature achievements."
