Intense, Edgy, Romantic, Dramatic, Immersive

See it if Man with problems meets a helpful soul in a bar. Immersive performance in a real bar. Heavy themes of addition, breakup and incest.

Don't see it if You aren't interested in those heavy themes. Well written & acted but no big surprises. Protagonist slowly discovers his past. Non-linear.

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

See it if You're ready for a strong dramatic story of a young man with lots of issues seeking a better life and freedom from his demons. Strong stuff

Don't see it if You don't like seeing a play performed right in your midst--in a bar/cabaret setting. I didn't think it would work, but it did.

Absorbing, Relevant, Romantic, Immersive

See it if you're interested in an intense exploration of the multigeneration legacy of sexual abuse, and the lasting effects of a parent's suicide.

Don't see it if you're squeamish about dark psychological topics. You prefer a conventional theater setting to a small setting with smallish folding chairs. Read more

Ambitious, Riveting, Great writing, Clever, Thought-provoking

See it if you are up to explore the human condition, how the past brings one to the present. Strong acting in a unique setting that has many moments.

Don't see it if you are up for a linear story - many flashbacks here to two other periods. Not the most comfortable seating tends to destroy the experience.
