Don't see it if u have a peanut allergy; ur completely unfamiliar with McGuffey Readers [still popular in homeschooling, btw!]; u want traditional theater.

See it if Little Lord's devised theatre piece views education as a devise for control & subjugation rather than knowledge Adroit cast keeps it engaged

Don't see it if You want to see a plot-driven play

Also A really unique and entertaining performance - insightful and funny while not at all preachy.

Regarding the peanut butter mentioned in other reviews: it is a non-issue; it doesn’t come anywhere close to landing on audience members and is of only minor significance to the performance. It’s a bit ridiculous that every other review mentions the peanut butter as if audience members are getting doused in it. Literally the extent of it is that the actors put peanut butter onto their faces at one point, nothing more.... Read more Read less

See it if you enjoy experimental theater; you have terrible memories of school; you're open-minded about entertainment.

Don't see it if you like traditional, linear storytelling; you prefer plays that emphasize plot & character over style & presentation.
