Slow, Edgy, Quirky, Intense, Disappointing

See it if you like experimental theatre with little staging or props. Some good effort here by most of the actors and the sound effects are tops.

Don't see it if you do not like short plays where everything is not developed to bring about clarity. Voice projection varies among the cast.

Skip, Slow, Disappointing, Cliched

See it if you enjoy a good performance or two in a cast with a mix of talent levels.

Don't see it if you want a strong story with fleshed out writing and direction - unfinished. Although off-off it feels a little amateur

Funny, Great acting, Clever, Intense, Thought-provoking

See it if you’re looking for experimental, magical, thought provoking theatre with heart and brains that will challenge the way you see things

Don't see it if You are impatient and need to be spoon fed your theatre rather than be challenged. It is a lot. 2 hours of big concepts in 4 short plays

"While some of the images and allusions in 'Under the Dragon’s Tail' call attention to the writer’s hand at work, the best moments are those in which characters, and not belabored ideas, emerge from the play’s collective unconscious."
