Nice Fish

See it if You love brilliant theater.

Don't see it if You don't like good theater.

See it if you want to see some incredible acting, if you like Waiting for Godot, if you are from the Midwest, if your partner is from the Midwest...

Don't see it if you want to see a concrete plot.

See it if You love poetry, Louis Jenkins, Mark Rylance, transcendent set, out of the box theater.

Don't see it if You're looking for something traditional.

See it if Someone said it was 'Waiting For Godot' on ice. That pretty much says it except NICE FISH is much more comprehensible and entertaining.

Don't see it if You don't like Mark Rylance.

See it if You want to be intellectually stimulated and laugh at the same time it's delightfully different good change of pace would highly recommend

Don't see it if Your looking for a slap stick Comedy or just a comedy for that matter it will make you think

See it if You admire Mark Rylance's acting, Lewis Jenkins's slightly quirky poetry, and off-Broadway theatre with minimalist scenery

Don't see it if you like B-I-G glitzy productions with predictable plots and endings

See it if You want to see something different. The set and lighting were very good. Acting was good but play itself was very boring.

Don't see it if You like fast paced shows. This is excruciatingly slow.

See it if you want a masterful, deadpan performance by the great Mark Rylance. About eccentrics ice fishing on a lake in Minnesota. An absurdist gem!

Don't see it if you can't get absurdism.

See it if Skin of Our Teeth set on a Minnesota ice lake. Brilliant and poetic with magnficent acting from all, especially Rylance. Ending is exquisite

Don't see it if You only like "conventional" theater.

See it if You want to see Rylance brilliantly take on a totally different character. If you like the poet's work. If you like bizarre, poetic theatre.

Don't see it if You don't like bizarre plays, you want something w/ a more compelling structure. The play's concept works well but can't sustain 95 minutes.

See it if you'd enjoy day in the life of rural characters & occasional fishing. Funny non sequiturs about human experience made vibrant by great cast.

Don't see it if dialog composed of pithy, often humorous, observational prose poetry is not for you. Must listen closely to excavate gems before next scene.
