Absorbing, Ambitious, Great acting, Entertaining, Thought-provoking

See it if you still need a dose of Royal family stories or some British accent & play , or if merely intrigued to know the deal in the "Diana tapes".

Don't see it if you expect a literal interptetation of Lady Di or recreation of British settings -as this is a minimalist production but in effective style.

Ambitious, Great staging, Thought-provoking

See it if you are interested in Diana's life and the scandal about her marriage. Clever way of changing scenes was a plus.

Don't see it if you don't care about the royal family, and expect traditional theater.

Disappointing, Relevant, Resonant, Thought-provoking

See it if You’re a Princess Di fanatic.

Don't see it if You mind badly behaved audience of munchers, slurpers and text addicts. No managerial control in the theatre.

Savvy, Unfinished, Snarky, Intriguing, Reportorial

See it if you want to see a less than reverential treatment of the oft-reported breakout of Lady Di from her royal straitjacket.

Don't see it if you have heard far too much about Lady Di already. Read more

Refreshing, Entertaining, Resonant, Thought-provoking, Clever

See it if A tight, smart, interesting look at events from the past that reflect on the present interest you

Don't see it if A very British' subject centered play, is beyond your interests. For the first preview it was well acted yet not completely refined.

Clever, Entertaining

See it if The show moved swiftly between the scenes and told the Lady Di secret tapes back story in 70 minutes.

Don't see it if You heard enough of Princess Diana’s story.
