Great acting, Great writing, Spare, Intelligent

See it if Solid performances in a gem of a play overcome the low-budget presentation of this commentary on art, love, marriage, judaism, fame & wealth

Don't see it if Not a good fit if you're looking for a big-budget production, or a lot of over-the-top emotion; its a lot of quiet, intelligent dialogue.

Important play gets a solid revival

See it if Compelling themes of art and commerce, anti-Semitism. Is the main character a visionary artist or just a money grubber?

Don't see it if A modest production in a tiny Tribeca loft. Fine cast and intelligent script make it worthwhile.

An intelligent well written, well acted "real feel" play

See it if you like well drawn characters. I really liked watching these disparate characters and found myself rooting for the 3 central ones.

Don't see it if You have trouble walking up 4 flights. You are offended by easy German/Jewish controversy. You find actors moving props distracting, Read more

Clever, Great acting, Great writing, Thought-provoking, Refreshing

See it if You like non-linear plots; you are an artist or enthusiastic about arts; you are nostalgic.

Don't see it if You want to see a chronological play; you don't like topics about art, time, love and distance.

Absorbing, Great acting, Great writing, Thought-provoking

See it if this play made you think about art and its values as well as relationships you had when you were young. Very enjoyable.

Don't see it if you don't like jumps in time between scenes or need a large production with more than 3 main actors.

Resonant, Thought-provoking

See it if you're interested in a show that meditates on the purpose of art or are compelled by well-performed but not particularly likable antiheroes.

Don't see it if works of art about works of art annoy you, or if you're put off by slowish, visible scene changes (aka it's low-budget and a small venue).
