See it if You care about immigration policy and want to absorb yourself in the difficulties undocumented families face.
Don't see it if You want a break from politics or don't like thinking about hard things.
See it if you care about our uncompassionate immigration policies & like sympathetic characters trying to cope with almost insurmountable problems.

See it if A play about ILLEGAL immigration. Two fine young actors. Play is a heartfelt one.
Don't see it if It brings out the pains of trying to get to America. It misses the point of reality, however. Most Americans came to this country Legally.
See it if slice of life theater is your thing. Realistic stage business like cooking and laundry suggest everyday activities.
Don't see it if you expect a "well made play". It seems that is what the playwright intended but once the situation is defined nothing essential changes.
See it if A slow burn about the current state of illegal immigration and policies, set in a down to earth reality for many people.
Don't see it if You don't like theatre of the oppressed, or not in a relaxed state, this needs a quiet concentration, not to be mixed with caffeine.
