Absorbing, Ambitious, Edgy, Relevant, Confusing

See it if You like edgy suspenseful sort of futuristic, sort of sci-fi, sort of military drama. Good attempt on a shoestring budget.

Don't see it if You don’t like small theatre where you have to use your imagination a lot. They do a lot with a little here but you need to “see” it.

Great acting, Relevant, Edgy, Intense

See it if It has a great cast of four capable actors. The play keeps you guessing who is your friend and who is your foe. The ending came bit quickly.

Don't see it if You don’t buy the premise of the CIA setups and the apocalypse is near.

Quirky, Dizzying, Confusing, Relevant, Insipid

See it if you want to see some young actors doing a commendable job with a script that needs some tightening up. It has potential. Tech was good+.

Don't see it if you are bothered by an unfinished feel: story ends abruptly, is slow at parts and can be confusing.

Ambitious, Banal, Slow, Edgy

See it if This one need as some rework. It could be good, cia...spy vs spy, but not clear or linear enough.

Don't see it if You want a well written script. A story that is more consistent.

Confusing, Cliched, Quirky, Disappointing, Banal

See it if you enjoy CIA related plays and don't mind confusing plays that don't really go much of anywhere.

Don't see it if you want a tightly wound plot that goes somewhere and has characters that you care about and related to.

Some potential / needs polish, Confusing yet riveting / suspenseful, Book not quite tight / still sowing its roots, Edgy & intense dark-comedy / well-paced

See it if you enjoy unsettling dark-comedies that keep you guessing & make you think, by youngish performers doing their best w/what they're given.

Don't see it if you prefer shows all tied-up & neatly wrapped in a pretty package. Not happening here. YOU have to do the work w/all the twists & turns. Read more
