Confusing, Quirky, Great acting, Entertaining, Clever

See it if you appreciate good acting, sound and staging on an interesting topic, presented with strong writing and delivered clearly.

Don't see it if you have difficulty with non-linear plays - I found this a bit choppy and that was intensified by some actors playing multiple roles.

Relevant, Great staging, Ambitious, Intelligent, Great acting

See it if you like non-linear narrative w/ensemble casts playing multiple roles with humor and a dark political philosophical narrative that questions

Don't see it if you want answers to those questions or something easy less repetitive or you expect more quirk or clowning than is on offer here

Slow, Confusing, Great acting, Ambitious, Tedious

See it if you enjoy dark psychological drama about conflict between conscience and need for life structure/professional and job skill acknowledgement.

Don't see it if you prefer comedy, musicals, multiple acts with interval, light theme, larger house and sets, or are disturbed by questioning USA actions.
