See it if A story of infidelity & pedophilia driven by a provocative story. Very strong acting by the entire cast. Great directing & lighting.
Don't see it if The topic at hand might be difficult for some audience members.
See it if I often find stories told mostly in flashback to be a sign of weak writing, but it works like gangbusters here. You should go see this.
Don't see it if It depicts some sexual violence that's hard to watch and the victim is NOT a perfect victim. I think it's the better for that, but YMMV.
See it if you like intense relationships that cover numerous topics, including male/female roles and actions.
Don't see it if you expect to like any of these characters - they all have flaws and did not leave me caring of any of them.
See it if You like shows that take lots of risks with difficult subject matter, very relevant topics that are you think a lot about consent and age
Don't see it if Some of the performances were one-note such that the nuance of the script didn’t come through, the ending didn’t quite land because of that
See it if You like plays where feelings and actions aren’t spoken but implied, and none of the characters are minimally likable.
Don't see it if You like plays with old fashioned dialogue that has meaning. Read more
See it if you want to see a play that shows how an older person can sexually abuse a "Muse".
Don't see it if you want to a well written and well directed play in a lovely staged production.
See it if you enjoy stories that involve cheating husbands, underage girlfriends and the interactions that occur.
Don't see it if you expect some new and/or deep perceptions about infidelity, unscrupulous men and dislike an plays that have an overly "slow pace."
See it if you like any show that explores mysogyny. This production does present a few interesting points but lacks the nuance to be effective.
Don't see it if traveling into Queens is difficult. Not worth the time.

However, both every scene as written by Maldonado and directed by Theatre East’s artistic director Judson Jones is staged as though it were the climax. It is one thing to enact a play up to the hilt. Here there is no arc or build up. Every scene begins at the top and leaves the actors with nowhere to go. Although performed by a tight quartet of actors, as written the characters are two dimensional, telling us no back story and little about them.

"This production lives up to Theatre East’s motto, “complex stories, simply told.”
