Relevant, Thought-provoking, Intelligent, Entertaining, Clever

See it if You have some opinions about how the Great Orange Clown and his administration was run, particularly in respect to his Jewish son in law.

Don't see it if You’re a Republican, anti-Semitic or approve of the last administration and it’s continuing attempts to destroy our democracy. Read more

Focused, Dark, Thought-provoking, Relevant, Edgy

See it if You like abstract concepts visually expressed on stage with a script to match. Dark side of Jewish guilt both relevant and challenging

Don't see it if You find abstract, sometimes “weird” scenes confusing and challenging for an audience member. The acting is great but I wondered what for.

Intelligent, Provocative, Repetitive

See it if you like discovering a fresh, bold, new playwright that takes on the theme of Jewish-American identity, using surreal setups & good dialog.

Don't see it if these themes do not resonate with you. Also, the play is in need of some additional editing, halfway through there's a feeling of repetition Read more

Funny, Entertaining

See it if the middle is a really funny, sweet, play about characters clearly drawn from the playwrights life. The beginning and end don't work.

Don't see it if you're afraid of absurdity

"The point of Stephanie Swirsky’s 'Don’t Do This to Us!' is clear, but the pay-off … is ultimately not worth it. Although it has an auspicious premise, its delivery of antisemitic satire often lands with a thud, causing theatergoers to question whether it’s okay to laugh (particularly when the jokes are based around the Holocaust)."
