Funny, Quirky, Entertaining, Great staging, Clever

See it if you'd like to view a scene from 3 perspectives, done on a nice set, well-lit with great music and good acting.

Don't see it if you expect a conclusion: you are viewing the same situation with three different presentations of the relationships among the characters.

Clever, Entertaining, Funny, Great acting

See it if Reza has a great ear for contemporary mores and foibles. You see yourself onstage and you laugh.

Don't see it if you are looking for depth. It's not clear what is uncovered by starting the play three times. In the end Reza has little to say. Read more

Thought-provoking & engaging (you get to decide), Great staging / clever costume-change nuances, Solid ensemble-cast / excellent smooth transitions, Quirky / short / fast-paced (thankfully) / absorbing, Weirdly interesting / different / intelligent / humorous

See it if you'd enjoy a short, well-performed, funny scene told 3 ways. You must invest in order to decide for yourself whose version is being told.

Don't see it if you expect the playwright to take you somewhere specific. Intense/jarring dialogue @ times: married couples, work-colleagues, lots of wine. Read more

Quirky, Great staging, Funny, Fluffy, Indulgent

See it if A dinner party relived, Rashomon-style. A pebble drops & creates either a ripple or a tidal wave.Depends on where you're seated at the table

Don't see it if Basically, just her "Carnage" tweaked 3X, but screams workshopped and the audience as guinea pigs.Writer w/o confidence is a terrible waste. Read more

Absorbing, Great staging, Great acting

See it if Absorbing play about the life of 2 couples told over and over again in one evening. Think Rashomon.

Don't see it if If repetition isn't your bag, but this was well don...
