Also At first, there were too many rapid-fire scene changes. But like getting over a case of nerves, the play settles down, creating deeper, psychologically-true characters and situations that fully engage emotionally. Bravo to the actors and playwright for creating a empathetic set of characters and points of view.... Read more Read less

See it if you're interested in modern sexual and racial politics post #metoo.

Don't see it if you're not interesting in the side of the criminal's family or don't like serious subjects.

Also I thought the play was decently performed but riddled with labored metaphors and cliches.

Not part of the play but someone involved with the production opened and closed their laptop throughout to take notes and it was very distracting.... Read more Read less

See it if A play brimming with poignancy & pathos appeals; navigating abuse, struggling w/ sense of complicity. Such chemistry btw Erbe & Livingston!

See it if you want a well-acted, well directed play about the psychology of guilt, crime and family

Don't see it if you want something light

See it if You want a look at the impact sexual assault has on the mother of the perpetrator. Kathryn Erbe is excellent. Play structure is distracting.

Don't see it if Short, choppy (and some unnecessary) scenes break up the story & take you out of the flow ... otherwise, a well-done new play.

Also Roundabout's Underground rarely disappoints. Great place to see new plays, good actors, and you can't beat the $30 price. (And no I don't work for them!)... Read more Read less

Don't see it if If current date topics related to sex abuse are too much for you

See it if You would find interest in seeing a rare exploration of the effects of sexual abuse upon the family of the convicted abuser. Fine acting!

Don't see it if A sequence of many short episodes illustrating relevant story points would leave your head spinning.

Also Here’s one more takeaway: Kathryn Erbe did a great job as the shaken mother. But throughout I couldn’t help but think about her resemblance to Lori Loughlin and the potential that we’ll see her in that “role” in the future. Indeed, some of the later scenes in this play could almost be carried forward verbatim into the end of that later tale whenever it is concluded and ripe for presentation however it turns out.... Read more Read less
