Kentucky

See it if You like diverse casts, funny but believable story, family sagas, satiric but warm look at evangelicals, family violence & Good oil' boys

Don't see it if Humor, drama & the absurd turn you off, family violence and treating fundamental Christianity with satire turns you off

See it if you want to be introduced to a new playwright, Leah Nanako Winkler. Also, if you like comedy mixed with moving moments.

Don't see it if you are uncomfortable with the themes of abuse and born-again Christianity.

See it if you are interested in seeing a both funny and thought provoking play. Unfortunately the play never becomes as smart as it would like to be.

Don't see it if you're not willing to accept this show's noticeable flaws and roughly extra 15/20 minutes of extra writing.

See it if You can bear a play that has a few funny moments and good performances but has stereotypical characters, trite monologues and needs editing

Don't see it if You do not want to see a poorly written play that needs a great deal of work

See it if You like shows that throw lots of different things at you at once.

Don't see it if You want a show that doesn't constantly flip the structure and tone.

See it if You like shows about people returning home to the lives & people they left behind, with great use of music, good acting and a talking cat.

Don't see it if You don't think a talking cat belongs in a show about coming of age and returning home.

See it if you are good with promising, enjoyable first acts that get crushed when playwrights try to do too much in the second.THE CAT IS BRILLIANT!!!

Don't see it if see why you would see it

See it if on second thought, save the two hours and read a book instead...

Don't see it if you ever might think of visiting Kentucky and don't want to be blinded by stupid and senseless thoughts that you might pick up here.

See it if you are looking for something intense but with comedy to balance it out. I personally related to this story so I was moved by the story

Don't see it if you don't like comedy mixed with drama.

See it if you want to support emerging voices in the theatre, regardless of how much maturing they need.

Don't see it if you have little patience for overlong, self-indulgent, scattershot plays by young artists in need of a red pen and better focus.

See it if You like complicated family dramas that aren't confined to living rooms and don't offer clearly drawn lines of right and wrong.

Don't see it if You have a hard time with plays that switch between multiple modes -- realistic, fanciful, musical, direct address.

See it if This play was absolutely amazing, and had an amazing set of actors. Intense! Keeps you intrigued throughout the 2 hours. Really great work!

Don't see it if You cannot handle intense topics about family, abuse, and unresolved endings. Def a must see though.

See it if You want to experience a fresh new voice in the theatre. Some really beautiful writing + emphatic characters, makes for a great evening!

Don't see it if You are not into stylized (but not heavy-handed) theatre. It's a couple ticks amped up from naturalism, which *I* personally enjoy.

See it if You like a good back-story

Don't see it if You are distracted by small productions that have to get creative with casting/staging (that cat...omg)

Don't see it if you don't want a show with silliness with a serious undertone

See it if you want to see a great fun new show.
