See it if You appreciate great acting in a tragic family story where they all have problems--Think "Long Days Journey Into Night" for poor rural folks

Don't see it if A dramatic well-acted examination of a family tragedy would send you running for the exit.

Ambitious, Thought-provoking, Intense, Great acting, Intelligent

See it if you like plays about mental health, family dynamics and relationships. There was a solid arc and an interesting outcome. Excellent acting!

Superb acting, Thought-provoking, Intelligent, Interesting, Insightful

See it if you enjoy plays that involve dysfunctional families, tragedy, lurking violence, small town life, fine acting and good dialog.

Don't see it if you dislike intense psychological content, sad and depressed characters, coping poorly with overwhelming problems.

Entertaining, Intelligent, Slow

See it if you enjoy family drama surrounding a family death. Reminded me of the show Rectify.

Don't see it if you do not like religion in your plays. The exposition is very slow.
