Dizzying, Confusing, Quirky, Funny, Ambitious

See it if you want to spend 75 minutes with a young student ill in Russia with the doctors she encounters and her boyfriend all mutating inanely.

Don't see it if you want a linear play or have difficulty with three different accents and foreign phrases, some not spoken toward the audience.
