Anybody seen this yet? Barron has long been a playwright to watch and considering this split the Relentless Award with The Wolves I'd say expectations are high.

Well *I* saw it and it very nearly lived up to my astronomical expectations. Hilarious and wise. Possibly the first important new play of the year?

Insanely good. A must-see.

I saw this last week and LOVED it. Funny, poignant, and incredibly theatrical. The dance sequences are extremely well-done too. HIGHLY recommended!

Sorry to be the voice of dissent here but I just about hated it. I didn't think any of it really worked, there was no development of ideas or characters at all, and it was too vulgar for my tastes.

A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.
