Clever, Confusing, Great Staging, Multimedia, Relevant

See it if you'd like to watch a detailed, if somewhat confusing, exploration of the players involved in the Russia collusion Trump Tower meeting

One Incoherent Script, Overstuffed, Distracting Staging, Two Great Actors

See it if you'd like 2 pros trying to navigate a subpar script. Wood and (especially) Curran work hard...and any charm/coherence are their doing.

Don't see it if you want an enjoyable experience. What a waste of great actors.

See it if you are a fan of actor Frank Wood or you are a fan of QUIRKY staging for live theater.

Confusing, Fluffy, Quirky, Relevant, Too Many Props

See it if you like politically themed AND avant-garde plays. A variety of weird props including clay dolls. Continuous shift of timeline.

Don't see it if you were hoping to see a profound drama emphasizing intense human psyche. you get confused easily with timelines shifting. Read more
