It's not an easy play...you have to pay attention. And it helps to get there early enough to read the liner notes in the Playbill to brush up on German history if, like me, details of historical perspective elude you. But I liked it a lot, even if I, no doubt, missed some of the subtext. My husband, who IS a history wonk, cites it as the play he has most enjoyed seeing during the past couple of seasons. The performances were all solid. I'd be surprised if it doesn't win multiple awards.
