Clever, Great acting, Great writing, Ambitious, Intelligent

See it if you enjoy great acting and theater that explores variations on at theme - the same dinner party three times, wordplay, and relationships.

Don't see it if you don't have some patience for repetition. And don't enjoy small intimate theater.

Absorbing, Quirky, Funny, Banal

See it if If you want to see the British version of Big Bang theory. The argument ends three differing ways. The British lingo is hilarious.

Don't see it if You do not like British plays or life pieces about everyday

Clever, Entertaining, Funny, Great acting, Disappointing

See it if you know and like Reza's style of theater: literate, cute, well-crafted but lacking in emotional or real intellectual depth. Parisian!

Don't see it if you are seeking a rich theatrical experience. There is enjoyment in the play and a challenge to make sense of the structure, but bit empty.

Well acted, Engaging, Sophisticated, Pointless, Marital messes

See it if you like dissections of messy marriages and diff personalities. Much sparring, but no real revelations. Int'ing structure of 3X same scene.

Don't see it if you want depth. LIFE is absorbing & clever, but to what end? Skewers childrearing, work dynamics, marital discord. Well staged/nice set.

Great acting, Quirky, Great staging, Indulgent

See it if Actors were good at portraying variations on the drawing room banter. I liked the concept of changing the outcome with a nuanced do over

Don't see it if Problem was in pinpointing what changes in behavior led to the outcomes, so rehashing the situation 3x to what point?
