Strangely fascinating, Quirky, Great acting, Thought-provoking, Ambitious

See it if you enjoy tour de force solo plays. A highly educated man devastated by life philosophizes to himself & the audience about ways to survive

Don't see it if death is a triggering issue. It is the central theme of the play. Also this is 90 minutes with one character so consider your fidget factor.

Ambitious, Intricate & thought-provoking, Needs a trim of 10-15 minutes, Good acting & lighting/sound design, Meta & existential

See it if You appreciate the use of language, literature, science and references to time. You like one-actor shows. Have patience for a new script.

Don't see it if Don't like thinking about time, space, meaning, and life's existential questions. Need a linear, straightforward storyline. Read more

Confusing, Relevant, Intelligent, Thought-provoking, Slow

See it if you enjoy one man shows with information that make you think - here an energetic performance by a solid actor with some visual projections.

Don't see it if you don't like shows that resemble a 90 minute lecture w/ a few props and PowerPoint-like projections or you are bothered by flashing lights

Too long, Well acted, Earnest

See it if You enjoy literary allusions and a look into how individuals cope with grief. Javier Munoz is so earnest & likable & he even sings briefly

Don't see it if You can’t stand 90 minute monologue - hard to feel grief when audience never meets lost character; Munoz works hard but let down by material

Slow, Thought-provoking, Good writing, Great acting, Clever

See it if you enjoy solo shows, Javier Munoz, or a theme of life's existential questions, and usage of literature and science.

Don't see it if you don't enjoy solo shows, complex characters, or thought provoking themes.

Great acting, Ambitious

See it if you want to see an interesting piece about a man coming to terms with the death of a child and the mistakes he has made.

Don't see it if The start was funny & engrossing. About half-way it lost its focus. The night I saw it, there was a new ending, which didn't quite work.

Thought-provoking, Poignant, Ambitious, Slow, Great acting

See it if up for a bravura solo performance making you think about life—its meaning & how you navigate it. Charismatic actor w/ a Robin Williams vibe.

Don't see it if need lots of visual & audio stimulation, tighter script, upbeat fare: bare set, few props, stream of consciousness flow. Drags toward end.
