Absorbing, Entertaining, Great acting

See it if you want to see a talented, funny actor play four interesting characters, each expressing his view on life in the USA.

Don't see it if you want characters who will give you real insights on the current US political situation or the meaning of life.

Great acting, Interesting, Absorbing, Without focus, Detached

See it if You think you’d like to see four short monologues about timely, topical political issues.

Don't see it if You want to see a show that has any sort of arc or plot. 4 short monologues that, while very well done, lead nowhere, and make no point. Read more

Unfocused, Thought-provoking, Strong acting, Teeny-tiny theater, Clever

See it if you like intense character studies, done w/humor (some scatalogical). W ltd props, Damiano embodies 4 men w/diff perspectives on Amer life.

Don't see it if you want high productn values. Or dislike tiny venues. Or want a longer show (60 mins). Or don't enjoy solo shows wh are often talky. Read more

Tiny & very uncomfortable theatre, Great acting, Uneven material, A versatile actor, great with accents, Some laughs here & there

See it if you enjoy solo shows; you can appreciate terrific acting; political satire makes you laugh; you don't mind uncomfortable seats for an hour

Don't see it if you are offended by 4-letter words, political opinions, or jokes about foreigners; if you hate tiny, claustrophobic venues or folding chairs Read more

Overrated, Portrait of the polarized, Accessible, Typical op-eds

See it if Exactly as advertised—listenable monologues of 4 different, if rather extreme, characters. Straightforward, not abstract or experimental.

Don't see it if I mean, you could also just ask four people how they’ll vote and why and get a similar show—although w/ a much longer run time. Read more
