In fact they haven't received a single review that isn't a rave review. I highly recommend the show! The show hasn’t received a single bad review to my knowledge.

This production has gotten raves from the Washington Post, Washington City Paper and Washington Times (4 out of 4). While I thought Tim Getman was fantastic, the other actors were also. I'm going to try to see it again before it ends Nov 16th. I'm still recovering for the time being. Oh my.

I saw absolutely nothing redeaming in this show -- save the dreamy Tim Getman. The performances were not good, the accents were all over the place, and the overall plot just lacking. I wasn't disturbed by the violence or the gore, I was disturbed that I wasted an otherwise perfectly good night at the deservingly better Signature. The season must go uphill from here. Sorry.

It was disheartening to see so many walkouts the night I went. Some proceeded to walk right in front of the stage during the performance very late in the show. I agree.

Easily one of the best plays Signature has produced in recent memory. Go see it, but be warned it is not for the weak of heart. Or as my wife put it those who lack a sense of humor.
