I'm baffled by the enormous praise this has received. I saw it last night (for the first time) and found it inventive in parts with a great central performance but pretty unremarkable overall, as well as being far too long. I found all the other actors lacking in terms of basic believability - particularly the parents - and Niamh Cusack's is one of the most affected, unnatural and irritating performances I can remember seeing.
I accept that many others love the play, so I'm not wanting to start an argument, but thought it was worth piping up as a (lone) dissenting voice!

So advice to the one who asked. Yes go. There were plenty of empty seats last night. I'm wondering why.
It was me who asked but I'm not going! I remember the extraordinary buzz around Jonathan Pryce's Hamlet with Richard Eyre and this sounds well worth seeing but not extraordinary.
As tickets were sold so long ago, many ticketholders will have subsequently died. This will explain some empty seats.
