Clever, Funny, Great acting, Refreshing

See it if You can speak Spanish fluently. I think this was a brilliant play/production. Great acting/costumes/sets but I couldn't follow the subtitles

Don't see it if Even if you're OK w/movie subtitles. It was very challenging to switch from digital screen to stage. Gonna read the book.

Funny, Romantic, Intense

See it if You're an English speaker willing to work to keep up with the play. Not my favorite show, but it was well done.

Don't see it if You don't speak fluent Spanish or aren't willing to read subtitles. Sometimes, the subtitles didn't keep up with the lines.

Entertaining, Great writing, Quirky, Romantic

See it if you speak Spanish, like the original story Tia Julia by Mario Vargas Llosa, are interested in period plays set in Peru.

Don't see it if you don't speak Spanish. There are English subtitles, but from what I saw they were a little spotty & the displays on some seat didn't work
