See it if You like to watch a play about a dysfunctional family. I was worried if it would boil down to a 'Patriarchy is evil' exercise, but it didnt.
Don't see it if You are expecting a lot in terms of plot. It's well acted and has some zingers and that's about it.

Don't see it if You don't like difficult subject matters regarding abuse/neglect
See it if You enjoy brave political drama addressing sexual politics with verve and energy
Don't see it if You don’t like swearing and sex Read more
See it if You want great acting, good dialogue and are not afraid to confront hard topics
Don't see it if You’re going to be triggered by domestic violence, transgender topics, and physical violence
See it if interested in gender
Don't see it if you are a TERF
See it if You want to be challenged, to feel uncomfortable, to have mixed reactions to the play
Don't see it if You dont like a play where the characters are unlikeable
See it if You’re not easily shocked. It’s quite challenging. Funny, but also upsetting. Well acted.
Don't see it if You can’t watch abusive family dynamics.
See it if A challenging clever revival a bit dated but well before it's time (originally written 1990s). Felicity Huffman leads a great cast.
Don't see it if You don't like upsetting issues, are transphobic or plays with conflict. Very dark, but funny.
