Clever, Intelligent, Intense, Ambitious, Thought-provoking

See it if You like extremely avantgarde theater with incredible lighting. Fascinating use of color and use of time. Excellent and complex acting.

Don't see it if You don't like inanimate object work (as main characters) or if you don't like puppeteers/mime and face masks. Read more

Great acting, Edgy, Intense, Disturbing, Unconventional cast

See it if you haven't seen the classic play or want to see a diff't refreshing version. The minimalist staging make you focus on the effective acting.

Don't see it if you want a fancy staging with a big cast.. as there are only 4 actors and the rest are "talking props" that can be both fun & disturbing.

Ambitious, Edgy, Thought-provoking, Slow, Intense

See it if you are into new wave theatre and you have a slight interest in seeing a new interpretation of this classic play. Interesting symbolism.

Don't see it if you might be disappointed if you are a huge fan of this play. There are a lot of elements in this production you might be disagreed with.

Different, Absorbing, Entertaining, Ambitious, Intelligent

See it if You like experimenting, with a classic. They hold true to it, sort of. It took me a while to get it. By the end I bought in completely.

Don't see it if You don't like your classics messed around with or if you have memories of Phillip Seymour Hoffman from Broadway that you want to live on.

Ambitious, Edgy, Slow, Thought-provoking, Indulgent

See it if Hyper-stylized production of Miller's classic about dissolution of American dream The least studied performance -Sullivan's Biff takes focus

Don't see it if Polendo's abstract concept often puts us at odds with emotional appreciation. Has a 'peaks & valleys' feel as many effects miss their mark

Clever, Great staging, Profound, Slow, Confusing

See it if You want an experimental take on a classic play. The abstract puppetry and background dance/movement was profound.

Don't see it if If you can only appreciate realism (like a movie); if you can't follow shows that use symbolisms and the abstract; if you can't concentrate. Read more

Ambitious, Dizzying, Great acting, Edgy, Intense

See it if u like long, distorted interpretations of classic Americnan tragedies. Very experimental staging distracts from powerful themes/great acting

Don't see it if you want classic staging of a linear play. It's confusing and jarring and sometimes works, sometimes doesn't but makes a strong impact
