See it if You like big name star but the supporting cast pulls it off. the musicians do a great job
Don't see it if You don’t like small theaters
See it if An other Bedlam inventive new production of a classic
Don't see it if Bedlam and Tucker's direction can be creative but has recently added a sitcom element to his productions that diminish their plays.
See it if Millonzi (Hedda) & Quinn (Brack) help ground Baitz's fleet adapt of Ibsen's classic but Bedlam's DIY approach often works at odds with them
Don't see it if Director Tucker's direction is really the questionable element veering from impressionistic to often cartoonish leaving us tonally uncertain
See it if you believe translation of a great work is a living, breathing tool for storytelling & trust Bedlam to create thrilling, thoughtful theater
Don't see it if you want museum-quality petrified classics.
