Fuck Marry Kill

See it if you want to be in a theater full of young people - something of a rarity these days, and if you want to see some up and coming actors.

Don't see it if you'll be depressed by a bleak, depiction of millennials, with plenty of sex and self mutilation.

Also I applaud the effort, but this show needs serious cuts, and while I get the metaphor of the boxing ring set, the ropes were constantly and unnecessarily blocking sight lines.... Read more Read less

See it if This was a touch hang. The dialogue was painful to hear and at 2:45, it was about an hour too long. Some solid performances, but still...

Don't see it if You are looking for a solidly constructed show. You can’t relate to adolescents.

See it if You want to test your endurance level of c**p. See how long before you want to bolt from the theatre.

Don't see it if You can avoid it. The whole experience is bad from the temperature levels of the theatre to the cacophonous music(?) that starts the play.

See it if you want a 3 hr. slice of teen romance & drama in an intimate setting. Its like a fast paced telenovela in one sittin (like CW's Riverdale).

Don't see it if you don't care about teen issues (love, sex, drugs, friendship, betrayal, incest?... & murder!)- although these are adult issues too anyway.

Also It's a refreshing theatrical piece to see a fast paced pseudo soap with multiple scenes & plots showing the teens' interlocking lives. Great use of a center (boxing ring like) open stage despite the minimal props. A talented good looking cast too. No dull moment even if it was almost 3 hrs long. Although it was a tragedy (plot), it was quite satisfying (overall performance). Kudos to all!... Read more Read less

See it if Which season of "Revenge" am I watching, or another unfunny evening of Jimmy Fallon hosting the Tonight Show. The play's energy is spot on.

Don't see it if The cast is uneven (being too kind, on my part, models turned actors?) and too big, hence no character development, or very little...a mess.

See it if You want to see a well-directed young cast with an interesting new take on a classic 17th century tale.

Don't see it if Profanity, sex, or murder bother you

See it if you enjoy teen/ young adult angst and problems in life and relationships

Don't see it if 3 hours long; lots of drug use, foul language and some nudity;

See it if A teen soap opera gone very very dark. Brilliant writing & directing. Very smart.Amazing cast,not a single weak link.Fantastic choreography

Don't see it if U really can't get into the headspace of a group of teens.U start out hating every one of them but grow to sympathize with all but 1(maybe 2

Also This play is long but don't be afraid. The scenes are very short and it moves at a brisk pace. 2 1/2 hours go by quickly. Even if you don't care for the material, the performances alone will make it worthwhile, it's beautifully staged and you will definitely leave affected - whether you want to be or not.... Read more Read less

See it if You are interested in a new take on a Jacobean tragedy, specifically “T’is Pity She’s a Whore” You enjoy plays about today’s teens.

Don't see it if You will be disturbed by a violent, horrific extremely bloody play featuring high schoolers all of whom have taken a dangerous path.

See it if There's a nugget of a good idea buried in 90 extra minutes of self-indulgence. Acting is solid given the writing​ they were given.

Don't see it if 3hr10min of teen angst and a shallow plot.

Also Clearly, the author was desperate for a way to insert himself into the story but creating these bafflingly poorly created bracketing characters played by Breaux and Mendes. Their every presence on stage was a derailment to an already tenuous plot. They serve absolutely no purpose and are developed to at embarrassingly​ sophomoric level.
Even if that was cut, another hour should have to be cut to make this decent.
Again, there is the nugget of a good idea in there and the staging is clever and fun.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to see one of the year's coolest design elements, with about 100 knives and daggers suspended from the ceiling over the action.

Don't see it if even if you enjoy gleeful hedonism, this is amateurish. Too long (3 hrs), too many characters. Settles for shock value instead of depth.

See it if Wow! Horror, comedy, teen mayhem, millennial morality play. Energy to spare. Great talent team: writing, acting, staging, choreography.

Don't see it if Sex, nudity (the title is a clue, no?). But evildoers get punished. Overlong: needs a disciplined edit. But so much to recommend it

See it if This is a macabre soap opera w/no depth or takeaway. Just a train wreck from which you cannot look away. Side note: Watch the actors' shoes!

Don't see it if you don't like long plays (3 hours), leaving w questions about character motivations (plot holes), or not caring about characters.

See it if you hated high school and appreciate a wild, well-staged, "everybody dies" style dark comedy.

Don't see it if you're not up for incest, murder, self-harm, slur-slinging, and all manner of bad teenage behavior.

See it if you like supporting new work/small theatre companies

Don't see it if you aren’t a fan of edgy subjects, drug use, nudity, or foul language

Also PROS: superb set design, a mostly-talented ensemble, great music soundscape, funny, messy, and beautiful script

CONS: excessive nudity (is the nudity even necessary?) and the length (3 hours is too long. too too long).

MINOR QUIBBLE: when you have so much nudity and other graphic elements but decide to mime food and have no fake blood, it seems inconsistent? maybe that’s just me, but it was offputting to have a stark contrast of real and fake elements in such an intimate space.

Do the pros outweigh the cons? Ultimately they do. It’s worth seeing. Less Than Rent is an exciting theatre company that is doing daring work. And despite my quibbles, it’s a beautiful piece. Messy, but beautiful.... Read more Read less

See it if you enjoy soap-operatic teen angst with heaps of violent revenge, set among clever staging and effective fight choreography.

Don't see it if you demand a polished and tight script or if you have a hard time differentiating similar-looking characters.

Also At nearly 3 hours this show needs a good edit, not just of scenes but of entire characters. At least 1/3 of the characters are unnecessary and distracting. Despite the very large cast being uniformly talented, all but 1 or 2 of the characters are ultimately likeable. So by the time you get to the tragic-yet-hopeful ending, you're really just left feeling ambivalent.... Read more Read less

See it if For exciting, edgy theatre with a very strong cast to back up the intensity, challenging and thought provoking theatre

Don't see it if You are sensitive to nudity, gunshots, and high intensity situations, this show is not for the faint hearted, this is anything but feel-good

See it if You like great young actors.

Don't see it if You can't handle torture.

See it if You like a big cast of young talented actors

Don't see it if You only like upbeat themes

See it if you have 3 hours to take an uncomfortable nap.

Don't see it if you respect the art of theatre. the writing/acting are just awful.

See it if you attended high school, like cathartic experiences, appreciate genre bending work.

Don't see it if you are offended by strong language.

Also This show is beautifully designed, the cast is strong, and the subject matter feels relevant to people struggling through high school and the adult population at large. The choreographed transitions amplify the world the director and writer have created. Just because you don't want to relate doesn't mean you won't.... Read more Read less

See it if You like shows that shock you. Sex and revenge excite you. You want to experience modern teenagers at their most extreme.

Don't see it if Any of the following trigger you: nudity, cuss words, self harm, pot, incest. You don't like to feel seen by the actors.

See it if You want to see a playwright use immature themes, lanagage, and shock value to makes up for lack of talent and depth.

Don't see it if You like peices of Theater that make you think and start conversation.

See it if You enjoy high school drama stories about backstabbing, deceit, etc. It's an entertaining/fun concept but needs refining and SERIOUS editing

Don't see it if The 3+ hour runtime is ABUSIVE to the audience! They Need to cut it by at least an hour. Some characters & scenes are completely unnecessary

Also I enjoyed parts of this, but it's simply too long and unfocused. They need to remove characters and scenes that drag the story down and keep the best material.... Read more Read less

See it if a talented, energetic cast performing Jacobean style comedy/tragedy updated to present day CT at high school prom time appeals to you.

Don't see it if if 3 hours of murder, incest, nudity, sex, violence & drug use sounds a bit much. WAY TOO LONG!
