Gloria (TCG Edition)

by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins

Overview

“The bitingly funny and fierce Gloria is one of the year’s best shows…Gloria is an adrenaline rush of a show, but it also makes you think. Let’s just say it hits the bull’s-eye.” —Elisabeth Vincentelli, New York Post

“Funny, blistering tragicomedy…along with a delightfully omnipresent, biting wit…You’ll be unsettled by Gloria, perhaps even haunted.” —Peter Marks, Washington Post

An ambitious group of editorial assistants at a prestigious Manhattan-based literary magazine are each chasing the same dream: a life as successful writers—and to get out of their cubicles before they turn thirty. When a regular day at the office suddenly becomes anything but, the stakes for who will get to tell the career-making story are higher than ever.

Editorial Reviews

"One of America’s most exciting dramatists, Jacobs-Jenkins makes a touching, penetrating point about how each type of person we know, with minor adjustments, could be someone else."

Entertainment Weekly - Joe McGovern

"Extraordinary…Sharp, witty, and inventive…A merciless, modern satire."

Guardian - Michael Billington
