The Intriguing Engagements of Frances and Meg Cheatham, Ladies Of Society (FringeNYC)

See it if you want to see some fine acting from Ms. Shaw, Ms. Dyer and Mr. Sibley or if you are a fan of Victorian theatre or themes of the period

Don't see it if an inconsistent and long script in need of a workshop will bother you along with some sound design that covered up dialogue at points

See it if Some tender acting, but some terrible accents is enough for you.

Don't see it if An intriguing plot idea ruined by some truly boring and frequently out of period dialogue, set in England for no discernible reason

See it if you are a fan of Victorian romances, Jane Austen, "Downton Abbey," or anything else that focuses on the manners and mores of wealthy Brits.

Don't see it if you don't enjoy any of the above. I also must confess that although this held my interest, I found the ending a bit abrupt and unsatisfying.

See it if You enjoy Pride and Prejudice or anything of Jane Austin's ilk.

Don't see it if You LOVE Jane Austin and bad imitations would annoy you.

See it if You want to see some good young actors

Don't see it if You can't sit though 2 hours of uneven and wandering writing.

See it if Fabulous I was entranced throughout the show

Don't see it if You don't like drama

See it if you're interested in several outstanding performances, a whip-smart and ambitious script, and a play with strong statements on femininity.

Don't see it if a roughly two-hour runtime is daunting or you expect period authenticity - that's not the goal here.

See it if You like an engaging, clever, dramatic storyline. Great acting.

Don't see it if you don't like the Victorian era.
