What some folks are writing:
From Jordan Swisher at Theater is Easy:
"BOTTOM LINE: Hannah Sloat and Hardy Pinnell drive a tightly directed revival of Rebecca Gilman’s powerful play."
"The Glory of Living is full of extremely tense moments that also manage to be strangely comedic, despite their content."
“[Sloat] plays Lisa with incredible subtlety and intrigue."
"a standout performance in the second act by Stephen James Anthony"
"it’s like being at some kind of punk rock concert"
"Every piece of this production fits perfectly together into the dark, uneasy puzzle that is Lisa’s life. Gilman’s play asks some tough questions, and this production doesn’t shy away from any of them, leaving the audience with much to think about, including the show’ s haunting final moment. The Glory of Living is dark, funny, and bold. It is a show packed with heavy material, delivered by strong actors, and led by a director with a consistent vision.”
From Glenda Frank at The New York Theatre Wire:
“one of the best off off-Broadway groups I’ve seen in a long time."
"a dark play about the bottom-feeders of our society and Revolve Productions in their premiere season in the tiny Access Theatre space created a memorable evening”
“Attention to detail and the script go a long way.”
From Edward Karam at off off online:
“Rebecca Gilman’s 1999 play, The Glory of Living, ambitiously revived in a shoestring production by Revolve Productions at The Access Theater, feels very timely indeed. With the horrific revelations of the torture and rape of three young women in Cleveland still fresh in the news, Gilman’s examination of two lethal losers resonates powerfully."
“…set designer Alexandra Regazzoni provides stunning visual counterpoint…Tuce Yasak’s lighting complements the concept … The inspiration carries over to Regazzoni’s apropos costumes”
“Investing the production with unsettling silences and claustrophobia, director Ashley Kelly Tata maintains…uncertainty to the end."
"this ambitious production affirms Revolve as a troupe that’s willing to tackle serious topics without regard to the temperament of the season.”
WARNING: SPOILER ALERT!
Our recommendation: see the show first, then read full reviews
