Happy Days (TFANA)

See it if My first Beckett and my last Beckett. All 30 points earned thanks to Dianne Wiest.

Don't see it if Oooof. Bad. Ooof. Can I get the hour of my life back?

See it if Woman stuck in the sand talks to herself and barely-responsive companion to pass the time. An extreme metaphor for the human condition.

Don't see it if The image was memorable but despite good acting, it dragged a bit and wasn't all that deep. We all focus on trivialities and smile to get by

See it if you want a master class in acting from Dianne Wiest in a masterful post-apocalyptic tragicomedy from absurdist genius, Samuel Beckett.

Don't see it if Beckett's not your cup of tea... although I think this play, esp. as interpreted by Wiest & James Bundy, may make you appreciate his work.

See it if You can sit through Beckett.

Don't see it if You can't sit through Beckett.

See it if You want a master class in acting from Diane Weist , she makes the apparent ramblings make perfect sense

Don't see it if You are averse to absurdist plays and find plays like Godot too much .

Don't see it if you have no patience for Beckett being Beckett.

See it if by all means if you have never seen Beckett, because Wiest's clear understanding of this difficult material clarifies what could be murky.

Don't see it if you only like lighter fare and don't want to be challenged.

See it if you like to compare versions of a classic texts or if you are a big fan of Diane Wiest

Don't see it if if you find Wiest's vocal mannerisms wearying or if you cannot abide Beckett.

See it if You like challenging work, are open to absurdism, and like your comedy and tragedy mixed in equal measure.

Don't see it if You need anything straightforward. You need action and plot and don't value meditative theater.

Also I expected Wiest to be extraordinary, and she was in the second act. The first act was a little more uneven for me. She's giving a great performance in an unbelievably challenging role. Perhaps it's my fault that I expected transcendence from Wiest and only got greatness. But it ended up feeling slightly less like the definitive version of the play that I had anticipated with her in the lead. It's still an incredibly strong production of a difficult show.... Read more Read less
