Entertaining, Original, Edgy, Intense, Hilarious

See it if You enjoy being immersed in a dark comedy with unbalanced characters full of surprises.

Don't see it if You're not willing to suspend disbelief and go with it. There are some imperfections but it's creative and funny.

Absorbing, Intense, Resonant, Raunchy, Great acting

See it if u seek an uncomfortably humorous at times examination of (co-)dependency, grief, isolation, addiction & (illusory) solace. Shepard-esque.

Don't see it if you could not empathize with characters in the depths of despondency trying (unsuccessfully) to eke their way back through human connection.

See it if you're interested in seeing a great play from a promising upcoming playwright despite some rough edges.

Absorbing, Great writing, Great acting, Resonant, Edgy

See it if You understand how addiction complicates family dynamics and every happy occasion turns into a confrontation; Then add in a third party..

Don't see it if Vulgar language and extreme consumption of alcohol upsets you. You cannot face watching the effects of addiction on a family
