IS THIS A ROOM? at Vineyard

I saw this last week and loved it. One of my favorite shows of the season so far (though it's still early, haha)! 

Reviews were mostly very positive, with a Critics Pick from Brantley

I found the show utterly fascinating from beginning to end. They absolutely nail the hyper-naturalistic acting style, which contrasts with the non-literal staging in a really cool way. Probably the best piece of verbatim theatre that I've seen. 

But haven't really heard anyone talking about it. Did anyone else here see it? Curious to hear if others liked it as much as I did.

I agree, it's a great show. For the first 10-15 mins, all I could think was "what the heck is this", but then I was hooked and was sadly surprised with the final lights dimming because it was curtain call. I wanted more :)

Is this show appropriate for a teenager?

There's nothing objectionable in it, so it just depends on your teenager's personal taste.

Saw it this afternoon. Incredible show. One of the best shows I have seen anywhere this season!
