Absorbing, Enchanting, Great acting, Profound, Resonant

See it if If you love Latin drama. I wish people talked that way in real life. The dialogue is beautiful. And this cast does it very well.

Don't see it if You only like musicals? I don't know. Maybe if you don't like dramatic stuff. If you can't handle the smell of clove cigars.

See it if Literate, well-told stories appeal. The play is the thing here. Good presentation of an excellent play.

Don't see it if You want something Broadway/glitzy, you don't like plays that are very talky and have little action

Slow, Thought-provoking, Great acting, Absorbing

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.

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
