Ambitious, Clever, Thought-provoking

See it if A show dealing with interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships appeals to you

Don't see it if Show that probably needs to conclude a little earlier and unnecessarily moves from the personal to universal when the personal is universal

Thought-provoking, Intense, Entertaining

See it if You want to begin to try to understand the lasting effects of the Holocaust, even to today. It was moving, as evidenced by the audience.

Don't see it if You have a short attention span. The play runs 90 minutes. Anyone should be able to do that, but I became fidgety.

Absorbing, Resonant, Thought-provoking

See it if you're interested in a show that examines: complicated parent/child relationships, the Holocaust, and the unbearable weight of memory.

Don't see it if you prefer large-scale productions or are bothered by heavy-handed dialogue.

Cliched, Banal, Disappointing, Overrated, Thought-provoking

See it if U want to see a Jewish holocaust piece. This is a 3 generational family of women's story dealing with healing through opening up about past~

Don't see it if You're looking for anything new or insightful. This was a forced, so-so acted/directed & unoriginal play. The lead was in her 60s, not 90s!
