Absorbing, Intelligent, Relevant, Resonant, Thought-Provoking

See it if You can appreciate a slice of history that surprises and intrigues. Jimmy Smits fans were delighted—I was.

Don't see it if You prefer high drama. Some Broadway drama is loud, histrionic. This is the opposite.

Absorbing, Great Acting, Slow, Thought-Provoking

See it if you like intimate shows that explore modernization vs. tradition, familial and romantic tension, and cross-cultural literary influences.

Don't see it if you prefer flashy shows with production budgets, set changes, and seating that doesn't feel like a school gym. Also, the acting was uneven.

Artfully, Lovingly Staged, Intelligent, Interesting., Thought-Provoking

See it if An interesting, poetic yet realistic drama sounds right for you. Some strong acting. Cheers to Abbi Hawk! A Pulitzer Prize winning play.

Don't see it if Some actors are uneven in tone, at times, a bit too in your face. You're looking for something light. Read more

Absorbing, Great Acting, Great Set, Slow

See it if you like heavy-hitting dramas with diverse characters, or dramas that mirror literature and use it to tell the story. The acting is great.

Don't see it if you don't like drama, or need a really tight script. The directing is pretty loose in this, so it feels slow at times.

See it if Partner's 83%. My 78%. Very good acting esp. Abbi Hawk & Fabrico Santos. Great space to see theater. Gallery work on dramas moving up

Don't see it if Think.. our previous viewing at Princeton jaded us for this production It included the later Broadway cast Jimmy Smits and Daphne Rubin Vega
