Nostalgic, Profound, Clever writing, Brilliant acting

See it if you like good old standard theatrical plays. Rather challenging to follow script executed well. Funny sometimes and makes you think.

Don't see it if non stop 2 hours wordy play that needs your attention all the time (otherwise you lose the plot) is too much for you. Read more

Intelligent, Russian nesting doll dystopian

See it if you enjoy thoughtfully constructed plays with twists and clues and do not mind another tale of dystopia

Don't see it if you want fun and light entertainment and to not have to think too much. Read more

Great staging, Great acting, Entertaining, Clever, Ambitious

See it if Loved the concept, all actors. Didnt expect J.L. Miller to be such a fine actor. People who live in autocracy will appreciate it even more.

Don't see it if You can not sit through a two hour play where you actually should pay attention to undertand the concept in the first 30 min especially.

Thought-provoking, Intense, Intelligent, Confusing, Ambitious

See it if you like shows that are thought-provoking. This show definitely tries to agitate. You like a good Orwellian story.

Don't see it if you need a meticulously crafted, all of the messages ties together show. It's more like good thought pieces here and there. Read more

Theatre Weekly (UK)

There’s an enjoyable twist in the tale, but ultimately A Mirror doesn’t tell us anything we didn’t already know about censorship. A compelling story, but unnecessarily convoluted at times.
