Relevant, Intense, Intelligent, Great staging, Great acting

See it if Lines is about 5 different lives across 5 specific prisons and centers on themes of colonialism, violence,death,racism,homophobia &torture.*

Don't see it if Themes aren't always seen on stage; some are implied through symbolic movements. If you need every element explained, avoid this one. Read more

Current, Relevant, Intense, Confusing, Ambitious

See it if you want to understand modern Uganda and Palestinian history and take a look through the lens of people who lived through the times.

Don't see it if you need a coherent story. The actors take on 5 different lives and they are not very connected. A moment in time - in a particular prison. Read more
