It's very funny, with a good dose of uncomfortable too. I also enjoyed the acting a great deal.
If you're looking for a stunning overall story then I suspect this isn't the one for you, I found this to be a show about moments. But there were great moments.
Like I said, I think it's well worth the trip/time/money.
The show is running until the 12th.
