Clever, Entertaining, Funny, Great writing, Profound

See it if Leegrid Stevens, the writer, brought recent national politics to the local level with this insightful, clever and dark humorous play.

Don't see it if During preview, I find the cast rather uneven. The drama needs to be darker so that humor can come through. The pace is too slow.

Clever, Intense, Great writing, Relevant, Great directing, props and sound

See it if You are interested in a very well-done political story. Clever staging keeps interest high. Terrific writing with believable characters.

Don't see it if You want something light and funny - there are many laughs in this production but the overall message is sobering.

Absorbing, Great acting, Relevant, Thought-provoking, Intelligent

See it if You want a look at how effed up politics are, thru the microcosm of a local election; you're intrigued by the Faustian bargains leaders make

Don't see it if Your irritation at stupid devices (ie. breaking the 4th wall to remind you "this is a play") would supersede your enjoyment of a good play
