"Gloria is to the New York publishing business what David Mamet's Speed-the-Plow is to the Hollywood film industry." - The New York Times "The play emerges as a trenchant commentary on the way in which personal tragedies merely serve as grist for the ever-ravenous media machine. A rare example of a contemporary play that keeps us constantly guessing where it's headed, Gloria is a work not to be easily forgotten." -The Hollywood Reporter "What playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins says about American society, the media and how we package celebrity and tragedy is as spot-on as it is depressing." - New York Post.
