Zurich

See it if you'd like a great play that presents scenes that (at first glance) don't have anything to do with each other and dares you to find meaning.

Don't see it if you don't like having to connect the dots for yourself when watching a play. It's all there, but you'll get out of it as much as you put in.

See it if Ah yes, a mordant play about the meaning/banality of individual lives, sort of a Plaza Suite for the 21st century. Funny & bitter by turns

Don't see it if with appealing actors in a fishbowl setting. Some scenes overlong but squeeze in humor & political, social & emotional content to the max.

See it if ... you like to see work by up-and-coming playwrights. (This one is mentored by Sarah Ruhl). Curious goings on in a Zurich luxury hotel.

Don't see it if ... you don't like disconnected vignettes. Unfortunately, each one is too long. Payoff at the very end is not quite enough to compensate

See it if You want a smart show packed with interesting characters all staying in the same Zurich hotel.

Don't see it if You want something fast paced. The show is a bit slow and could be shortened a bit.

Also Carolyn Holding delivers an outstanding performance as the maid.

See it if you enjoy quick set pieces. So if one set of characters isn't doing it for you, they'll be gone soon and you can try again with a new pair.

Don't see it if you really want to invest in characters. Each scene starts kinda slow before ramping up. By the time you care about anyone, they're gone.

Also There's overly dramatic violence in this play, and I wish there wasn't - I think this would be a better script if it were more down-to-earth, less heightened.... Read more Read less

See it if You appreciate clever staging and quick dialogue.

Don't see it if You have hearing issues. The performance is behind glass which makes it challenging at times even with miked actors.

See it if You like great dialogue, interconnecting stories and surprises. Fantastic acting and characters, especially from Paul, maid & young boy.

Don't see it if You don't like some tense moments, especially the end, but it's still worth seeing.

See it if enjoy the loveliness and humor of being a human, especially a child human!

Don't see it if want traditional fare.

Also My two favorites: Greg Diaz IV's scene with sister was hysterical. SNL should sign him up now. Lynne Lipton is thoroughly convincing and moving as a woman who broke out of a nursing home.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if traditional, conformist

See it if shows that expertly blend topical issues w/personal stories appeal to you. This is simultaneously funny, moving, & surprising. A must-see!

Don't see it if Colt Coeur productions consistently deliver unpredictable theater that’s accessible & relatable yet entirely original.
