Absorbing, Edgy, Confusing, Disappointing

See it if you are open to an involving first act with mystery, clever dialog, and good acting.

Don't see it if you are not disappointed when a second act doesn't hold up as well and you are left puzzled a bit.

Absorbing, Cliched, Disappointing, Ambitious, Dark

See it if you like crime stories and trying to figure out mysteries. You like plays about affairs and their attendant drama. Fantastic set.

Don't see it if you don't like dark material. You don't like plays that try to do too much and then fail. Kernels of brilliance, ultimately banal. Read more

Confusing, Disappointing, Overrated

See it if you like twist endings. Story builds to an somewhat interesting and confusing ending.

Don't see it if The story does not make much sense. Short scenes. Ending contrived. Two families are over the top.
