Yours Unfaithfully

See it if you enjoy rarely seen plays from early-mid 20th century, curious about how older play would cover "open marriage," like intimate setting

Don't see it if older plays are not your cup of tea, you don't like thoughtful comedies or plays in which women learn to express themselves

See it if Interested in the topic of jealousy and romantic love. It reminded me of a Wallace Shawn play -- lots of conversation about a topic.

Don't see it if Topic not for children. And they would find it baffling and boring anyway!

Also Acting was very good. The women's costumes were exquisite: gorgeous clothes of the 1930s. Sets were nice too.

Interesting to see a play from the 1930s that had not been seen in New York before. It seemed very modern. Did not seem very dated, still relevant.

There are two intermissions but the play is not that long. First act is 30 minutes, second is 50 minutes and the final act is 35 minutes.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to see a play that was never produced.

Don't see it if you want to see a well acted and directed play. This is just the opposite. Play feels very long. Acting is amateurish.

Also Why were the British accents dropped? There are references in the script which are definitely British. The set design of the home was a hodgepodge. One could not tell the social standing of the principal couple. The paintings on the wall looked like they were done by third graders. This is one of those plays that is just simply overrated.... Read more Read less

See it if you'd enjoy an interesting premise - the search for happiness in open infidelity - examining the disconnect between our logic & emotions.

Don't see it if you'd be dissatisfied with a predictable destination for a journey that's not as satisfying in its trajectory as it could have been.

See it if You enjoy Mint Theater productions. Always well done-great sets-interesting forgotten plays. Max Von Essen a treasure. Wonderful twist end.

Don't see it if You want today's language. If you want plays about kids on the edges of society this week s not that.

Also Old fashioned play with modern sensibility. A pleasure to hear dialogue without today's cursing.... Read more Read less

See it if You enjoy period pieces that are beautifully acted, written and staged.

Don't see it if You don't like plays dealing with adultery or you only like shows based in the modern day.

See it if you are interested in the pros and cons of an open marriage.

Don't see it if you want a play with a lot of energy. This one is mostly people involved in an open marriage calmly discussing their feelings.

See it if You like good dialogue about relationships. Loved costumes and acting. Relationships are fascinating. Open marriages are not easy.

Don't see it if You don't like British humor or privileged society.

See it if you like plays from the 1920's/1930's and the clothing from that era...

Don't see it if you want stimulating theater as it's very slow moving and quite boring...

See it if you enjoy plays about complex emotions within relationship (jealousy, love, communication, etc). It has some great emotional moments.

Don't see it if you want something fast-paced or edgy by today's standards. It centers around the emotions, rather than actions, of the characters.

See it if you don't mind a silly plot (although, it might not be so far fetched).

Don't see it if you've experienced a cheating partner.

See it if enjoy British period dramas, like plays about marital relationships.

Don't see it if you become easily bored with dated material, find family dramas tiresome

Also Though I enjoyed the acting in this play, it felt a bit long. Written in 1933 the drama is 2.5 hours long. Could use a bit of trimming to make it tighter, especially the 2nd act. Costumes were great and set was impressive.... Read more Read less

See it if you enjoy drawing room sort-of-comedy. Good acting and old-fashioned situations.

Don't see it if You like quick, witty comedy. It is sort of slow and certainly not Noel Coward. But all in all an OK evening.

See it if you've always wished you could be transported back to the 1930s and see the premiere of a somewhat Cowardesque comedy w/o British accents.

Don't see it if George Bernard Shaw's oh-so-modern exchange of ideas about the sexes makes you yawn because in a way this is just second-rate Shaw.

See it if You enjoy an old fashioned 3 act play that is relevant and satisfying, and will leave you with something to discuss.

Don't see it if You like action more than dialogue.

See it if you like to see how playwrights tackled taboo subjects in the past

Don't see it if you don't have time for plays that are not full of shock and "action"

Also The cast was great and did very well at playing in period style. Also the set change in full view between Acts 2 & 3 was like watching a complex machine at work. Really impressive!... Read more Read less

See it if you enjoy intelligent and well written plays about the challenges couples face in maintaining a loving marriage.

Don't see it if you are not interested in the various manifestations of love, jealousy and the need to be oneself.

See it if You are interested in an unknown play that deals in ideas and morality.

Don't see it if You prefer contemporary and fast moving work

Also This is a flawed production of a flawed play. There is no sense of period and the play cries out for a star turn rather than a good actress in the lead. This an intelligent but not inspired production; still worth seeing for a reflection of its time.... Read more Read less

See it if You appreciate some good acting...and an interesting "almost" plot about marriage infidelity

Don't see it if You would prefer more action..more depth of characters

Also The understudy (padre) was not well prepared...and that impacted upon our enjoyment of the production. The other actors were quite talented..... Read more Read less
