See it if You want to see a fantastic solo acting performance from the actress and want to see heavyweight issues explored in a skilful manner.
Don't see it if You're not particularly interested in American politics or if you're looking for a lighter subject matter.

The play, small in itself, carries its own devastating and seismic power...If the lockdowns turned the monologue into an overfamiliar form, Wolf Cub remoulds it into something new, exciting and dangerous again.
