See it if you enjoy considered dialogue-led plays. The Cord presents much which is universal in the early days of new parenthood.
Don't see it if you are not interested in early parenthood or mental health. Family relationships do not interested you. You prefer larger casts. Read more
See it if An involving story of male depression, well written and acted.
Don't see it if Challenging topic and slow pace not for all.
See it if Stunningly well acted play about the way parenthood confronts people with their deepest wounds and greatest fears. Excellent live music, too
Don't see it if It's a slow burner. Seems like a very simple story at first, but multiple layers are peeled back over time
