See it if If you believe in ghost this is your production. Is the house haunted??? This is a great production that will keep you on your toes.
Don't see it if If you are afraid of ghosts, please disregard this production. Located in the Village of NYC, be careful of the ghosts.
See it if you seek something tense but not scary
Don't see it if you want to relax
See it if this is a really cool play. it’s a generational tale of latin american women. it’s a revenge tale. it’s a horror movie.
Don't see it if i wish this play had like …. twice the budget. some of the scenes drag on a little too long.
See it if you want to support a show with potential to be better as it deals with issues of violence against women, witchcraft & immigration politics.
Don't see it if technical excellence is important - lightning strike lighting is opposite of what it should be & English captioning is quick and faint.
See it if Caswell's horror-noir drama packs spooky atmospherics & domestic predicaments in true soap opera fashion Well acted with an A+ production
Don't see it if As in all domestic fright dramas, there's one plot line too many and too many false endings (3 in this case) for comfort Confusion insues
See it if you are interested in an ambitious horror/magical realism piece that focuses on the Latine experience in Arizona; you like cool stagecraft
Don't see it if you aren't into stories that involve the paranormal; you are troubled by domestic violence Read more
See it if You like the issues of feminism, immigration, identity, violence discussed in a way that doesn't beat you over the head
Don't see it if You are easily scared or spooked, you like light fare with no political content

Caswell occasionally indulges in overt editorializing about the state of world, most of which is unnecessary since his ideas are so well embodied in the story. Also, the last scene -- despite a nifty twist that raises new questions about the effectiveness of the death-walking ceremony -- struggles to find a conclusion, seeming to end about three times. But I'm betting that you won't be bored, not even for a split-second. Man Cave wraps potent social criticism inside a ghost story that will have you eager (and afraid) to find out what happens next. -

Page 73’s world premiere of John J. Caswell, Jr.’s Man Cave is an exciting, riveting supernatural horror story. While at times it seems overwrought and overstuffed with too many issues, Taylor Reynolds’ production works beautifully holding our attention until the final moment. Its satisfying ending seems totally in keeping with the events that precede it and its ensemble of four is completely believable as they attempt to deal with seemingly overwhelming contemporary problems.
