Can get tickets for either show for this Saturday matinee on TDF.  Which should I choose?

Opinions?

Thanks!

Blackbird, if for Michelle Williams and Jeff Daniels alone.

I haven't seen The Fathed, but I saw Blackbird on Saturday night and I was floored by both of the performances and by the play itself.

See, I would take The Father over Blackbird. I thought how The Father is presented was brilliant. During Blackbird, I just kept thinking "are we ending? Nope? Okay..."

Blackbird. Can't go wrong with either, but Blackbird will stay with you much longer. Frank Langella is giving a great performance as well - some members of the audience were deeply affected by it, as it reminded them of a parent or loved one.

I'd go with the one with the actors you like more. I hate Langella but others worship him.

We liked The Father more.Langella deserves every award he gets for his performance. He possibly gives the best of his career.

Neither. But if you have to pick one... Blackbird.
