Resonant, Thought-provoking, Absorbing

See it if You like the story. Are interested in issues of morality in society

Don't see it if You have a problem with plays that are too wordy--there was dramatic action but also a lot of conversation that was important to the theme Read more

Profound, Great writing, Absorbing

See it if you enjoy Oscar Wilde's classic. You appreciate a classic production. You have patience to sit on rather uncomfortable chairs for 2.5 hours

Don't see it if you don't have much patience for a long play. You have difficulty hearing (one of the actors spoke so softly that it was hard to understand)

Good acting, Quirky, Intense, Absorbing

See it if you like Oscar Wilde and loved the movie. This production was pretty good but too long

Don't see it if you don't like sitting for 2.5 hours watching a play that was not as good as the movie

Banal, Disappointing, Good costumes, Slow, Peculiar staging

See it if you have never seen the film. It is a good story and this production sticks to the plot.

Don't see it if you are expecting the creepy, haunted quality that the name suggests. The mechanics of the play seem to take up too much of the production.

Dated, Disappointing, Excruciating, Slow, Cliched

See it if You get free tickets and you don’t have absolutely ANYTHING else to do. Maybe if you haven’t read the book and want to know the plot.

Don't see it if You have any respect for your time or expect good acting or staging. It was truly very bad.

Bad accents, Good acting, Great story, Laggy, Disappointing

See it if you like Oscar Wilde and want the novel read aloud to you.

Don't see it if You don't like very wordy shows, or are irritated by bad British accents.
