But when an ordinary humdrum workday becomes anything but, the stakes for who will get to tell their own story become higher than ever.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\"[A] whip-smart satire of fear and loathing…\u003ci\u003eGloria\u003c\/i\u003e is to the New York publishing business what David Mamet's \u003ci\u003eSpeed-the-Plow\u003c\/i\u003e is to the Hollywood film industry.\"—\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"All you need to know is that the bitingly funny and fierce \u003ci\u003eGloria\u003c\/i\u003e is one of [2015's] best shows.

As usual, [Branden Jacobs-Jenkins] handles his serious themes in a thoughtful, provocative manner…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, \u003ci\u003eGloria\u003c\/i\u003e is a work not to be easily forgotten.\"—\u003ci\u003eThe Hollywood Reporter\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dramatists Play Service, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47042140668144,"sku":"9780822234333","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780822234333-1","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
