Is Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) Good for Kids?

Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) is generally appropriate for older kids and teens, but it's not specifically a children's show. It's a character-driven, dialogue-heavy two-person show — younger kids might find it slow or hard to follow.
