Cliched, Banal, Disappointing

See it if you have never seen any gay themed play and are just coming out.

Don't see it if you have seen any gay themed play about being young and broke.

Ambitious, Thought-provoking, Quirky, Funny, Uneven

See it if you have a particular interest in the ups and downs of drug abuse or the search for one's birth mother.

Don't see it if you expect a consistently well-written and captivating script. The actors were terrific but the script was at times banal then brilliant.

Cliched, Prosaic, Slow, Disappointing

See it if you like kitchen-sink gay melodrama dealing with adoption, drug addiction, questioning sexuality, daddy issues, mommy issues, rape, et al.

Don't see it if you can't abide nearly every gay stereotype crammed into 90 maudlin minutes, leading to an all-too-convenient anticlimax. Read more

Cliched, Ambitious, Unfocused, Needs work, Confusing

Don't see it if You want to see a focused script. This script felt like it tried to tackle too many topics and therefore tackled none of them effectively. Read more

Banal, Cliched, Excruciating, Insipid

See it if This is a ten (out of a hundred). The lead is a gay, young coke head and surprisingly the play still isn't interesting and/or entertaining.

Don't see it if If this is autobiographical, then the writer must have never seen the inside of a junior high school or above.

Absorbing, Entertaining, Relatable

See it if You want to understand how a good, decent young Man finds himself on drugs. Who can he trust? Can he love 2 different families? Find out

Don't see it if You are uncomfortable with drugs. You don’t have an interest in a gay storyline. You are sensitive to any area of child adoption.
