Quirky, Thought-provoking, Ambitious, Banal, Confusing

See it if you enjoy experimental theatre. The show is visually and aurally interesting. The characters are engaging. The themes are universal.

Don't see it if you want to see a traditional play. There's a story, but the acting is not naturalistic, and the narrative is secondary to symbolism. Read more

Fluffy, Interesting use of props

See it if you want to see actors knock around a variety of staging ideas—some interesting, some not. Also, sexual awakening—yay.

Don't see it if that singy-songy lilting people use when reciting poetry shreds your nerves; or if you want some emotional pull. Read more
