Disappointing, Slow

See it if you enjoy the writing of Gurney about an accidental reunion of 2 people at a party, & all the crazy characters that interrupt their meeting.

Don't see it if you don't enjoy talky plays without a lot of action and a disappointing plot line that leaves you hoping for more.

Refreshing, Amusing light sweet

See it if You want a sweet fun play. No depth but entertaining. The male and female actors who play multiple characters bring the play to life. Funny.

Don't see it if You want a deep character study. This is light weight. Unfortunately the main characters are dull and uninteresting.

Banal, Sluggish, Disappointing, Insipid

See it if you want to see two scene-stealing performances by Liam Craig and Jodie Markell. Also, a great starry set design by Steven Kemp.

Don't see it if you don't like slowly paced plays. "Later Life" is in dire need of a shot of adrenalin.

Dated, Disappointing, Boring

See it if If you're sentimental about reconnecting with past romantic partners and don't mind seeing a dated play with corny stock characters.

Don't see it if Just don't bother w/this one ... embarrassingly cliched characters run in and out of this out of date play where you care about no one.

Cliched, Disappointing, Slow, Indulgent, Fluffy

See it if Don't. There is nothing to redeem this show. The subject matter is not developed, the characters are cliched, the chemistry non-existent.

Don't see it if you care for theater. A complete waste of 90 minutes. There is no message, no learning, no experience or growth. Poor example of Gurney

Cliched, Disappointing, Excruciating

See it if you are a fan of Gurney's work or you need a place to take a nap.

Don't see it if you want to be entertained. There was no point or message. Just a bunch of people engaged in small talk that went no where.
