Jitney (London) London Reviews and Tickets

See it if A play In Wilson’s ten play Chicago cycle. Great ensemble piece, of its time but credibly acted and utterly engrossing.

Don't see it if Ethic themes do not interest you.

See it if It’s smartly done — very good performances all around. These British actors all do a great job with their American 70’s Black vernacular.

Don't see it if It’s a bit plodding in both the writing and the plot — at over 2 and a half hours. And those wigs that the male actors wear - ugly as sin. Read more

See it if you love a good old fashioned drama and the playwright.

Don't see it if can't sit still for 2.5. Read more

See it if you want to see humour & rowdy Every aspect of the hard part of life's experience as well as community & support can be found in this play.

Don't see it if I can’t think of a reason not to see it, it’s set in the 70s, possibly looking for a modern play?

See it if A really great play, with great writing and acting.

Don't see it if Found it very quiet at times with the dialect difficult to tune into at first. It took a while for the play to get going.

See it if you want a hard-hitting and visceral play that’s excellently acted and sadly feels every bit as relevant today as when it was written.

Don't see it if you like a short and sweet play; this is at times a hard watch and clocking in at nearly 3 hours it might prove too much for some.

See it if You enjoy America in the 1930s and a historic day tragic love story.

Don't see it if You find it hard to understand the American accent on stage.

See it if You enjoy good acting. You like shows about cultural topics. You enjoy deep and emotional plays.

Don't see it if You can’t commit to a lengthy play. Sometimes it’s hard to follow.
