Latter Days

See it if Video gamer style mythmaking of the most banal kind is your thing.

Don't see it if A cheesy bargain basement knockoff of a Beckett type theater of the absurd play would send you running for the exit.

See it if you enjoy intimate settings with two captivating actors who carry the show start to finish.

Don't see it if you want a profound show and a clear ending.

See it if you are a skeptic, enjoy willing suspension of disbelief in order to think, are okay with a slow pace

Don't see it if you are not patient for slow pacing, are easily religiously offended, or are looking for something light.

See it if You enjoy apocalyptic stories or exploring delusional world views.

Don't see it if You are looking for a cheery, fast-paced show.

See it if you want to see a nice little small show in a tiny space. Everything about the show is ok but not great. The younger actor does a nice job

Don't see it if you need something elaborate. This is blackbox and blackbox only.

See it if you are interested in oddball religious cults, esp doomsday cults. It'll make you think, but only if you care about the topic to begin with.

Don't see it if you're looking for a varied and exciting plot. You know within the first 15 minutes how the show is going to end, and it moves predictably.

See it if You like quiet but apocalyptic shows investigating faith in a leader.

Don't see it if You dislike flowery language and monologues. It's mainly interesting dialogue between "servant" and "king."

See it if You know someone involved w/ the production. You think a man ton a toilet is high art.

Don't see it if You value good acting & playwriting. You're not in the show's inner circle-several unfunny bits got big laughs from a few in audience.

See it if The biblical, Shakespearean, densely poetic language was very compelling, but I saw the end coming within the first 5 mins.

Don't see it if Thank goodness the bodily fluids only looked realistic vs smelling so, because I was in the front row and that was bad enough.

Also This playwright has a deeply original voice, and I was truly mesmerized by the language. In addition, the actors were terrific. However, the end was predictable, and the hopless nihilistic message has been done many times before, with less squeamishness induced.... Read more Read less

See it if you enjoy ambitious, experimental theater despite a lack of a driving plot

Don't see it if you expect to be entertained or inspired. A slow, uneventful production

See it if you're interested in 2 man shows depicting a sort of sad, doomsday mental illness relationship. Maybe worth it if you live close to theater

Don't see it if There's not much plot & the writing isn't very good. Acting is so-so. It's slow & repetitive & dull, leading several people to fall asleep.

See it if Confusion and quirky situations pique your interest

Don't see it if You prefer storylines which are rational and make sense, you prefer clarity in your shows

See it if You want to see a self proclaimed king and his subject as they exist each day and count down to the last days.

Don't see it if You want a big production. You need more than two people on stage. You don't like a dark production.

See it if If you want to see some experimental theaters. The acting was good, and the actors are brave to take such roles.

Don't see it if You don't want to be disgusted: there are urinations during the show. The scenes are also repetitive and don't make sense to me at times.

See it if You want to experience a night of awful incomprehensible theater.

Don't see it if You don't want to be bored to death by a play that pretends to have a message ( our days on earth are coming to an end )

See it if Your idea of fun is watching an overweight man sit on a toilet seat for 62 minutes and occasionally relieve himself.

Don't see it if You want to avoid an extremely slow paced & totally pointless show. I think this is the worst show I have ever seen.

See it if The acting was good but I can hardly recommend such a vile piece of work just to see it well acted.

Don't see it if period...just don't see it.

See it if You find odd, disjointed shows interesting. It is slow moving and very strange.

Don't see it if You prefer more action and a more interesting storyline. It's slow moving.

See it if You want to be confused

Don't see it if You want something light hearted, fun and entertaining

See it if You subscribe to a nihilistic view of the world and think watching an individual sitting on the toilet and ruminating is entertaining.

Don't see it if You have any hope for humanity and want to come out of the theater feeling better not worse about the human condition.

See it if You would enjoy a thoughtful, entertaining look at faith, cults, and rituals.

Don't see it if You prefer big productions.

See it if you enjoy simple, repetitive stories, you are interested in the themes of dogma and religion

Don't see it if You are tired of apocalyptic stories with no new takes on the subject

See it if You enjoy decent acting and a very-well done set. Nice comedic writing.

Don't see it if You need suspense or a plot that is going to keep you on the edge of your seat. Mildy predictable, but enjoyable.

See it if you like shows that create a definite dark & tense atmosphere, with apt portrayals of self-delusion and manipulation.

Don't see it if you don't have patience for shows with very little plot movement, where you don't know much more at the end than you did at the beginning.

Also Simply put, this is a very well done production of a play I don't care for very much. The premise is interesting, but story-wise there is not much more going on than one could surmise from the show's blurb. I hesitate to say there is absolutely *no* difference from scene to scene because there is a sense of building tension as time passes, but it largely comes from the waiting and not from anything the characters do- because they do very little. This perhaps makes sense as they are merely waiting for the end, but unfortunately, so is the audience. Perhaps that was the intent, but it makes it a difficult show to recommend. I might have appreciated it more as a 20-minute short, but it just didn't have enough going on to be worth a full hour to me.... Read more Read less

See it if You enjoy Beckett or Pinter.

Don't see it if You're not into experimental type theatre.

Also I didn't like the show because it's not my jam. However, I thought it was well done. The production was very good.... Read more Read less
