Thought-provoking, Great writing, Clever, Ambitious, Absorbing

See it if you want to be reminded of the absolute power of theatre. You feel the depth of every emotion through the stories of six black men.

Don't see it if you want an easy or traditional play. You don't care about the lives of others.
