White Noise

See it if you want to see an original, provocative, intense play about race. it's always great when a play make you uncomfortable and reflect.

Don't see it if you want to see something uplifting, if you don't feel comfortable facing issues about race and racism. but people should really see it.

Also my only note is that I wish there was more about a black woman's perspective (Sheria Irving's character is great but I wish I could see more of her). Daveed Diggs is great to watch.... Read more Read less

See it if It's a super intense show and worth seeing, particularly for the great acting and taking on questions of race.

See it if you’re intrigued by a fascinating plot conceit being attempted by four actors doing their best

Don't see it if you’re expecting plausible plot twists. The dialogue is clunky with weird shifts. Cliche relationship devices. Long unneeded monologues

Also I usually rely on ShowScore to let me know what shows are good to see. But can’t believe how far off the reviews are for this one. It seems that this one is getting a lot of accolades for exploring woke subject matter which I highly commend. But overall the writing is very under baked and though the actors do the best they can with it, it needs much more workshopping, cutting, streamlining, and polishing.... Read more Read less

See it if You’re looking for an intelligent drama that, while maybe more worried about message than realism, is very worthwhile and very well done.

Don't see it if A lack of ultra realistic multidimensional characters is a nonstarter for you. For me the positives outweighed this weakness.

Also I was really worried about going to a three hour play about racial issues with four monologues. But I found every part of this play compelling and am glad I saw it. The play is packed with ideas and the performers are all wonderful. There are multiple plot points that require a suspension of disbelief, but for some reason this didn’t bother me in this play.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if You want a boring 1950's musical.

See it if Actors are great (Bravo, Daveed Diggs) but the main premise, “Slavery equals protection?” implausible. Demonstrates the banality of racism.

Don't see it if You can’t take the tension of sour friendship, insincere love, and impending violence.
