:Branden Jacobs-Jenkins' Gloria is as provocative as it is unsettling. It's a razor-sharp drama that explores ambition, trauma, office dynamics, and what people do to survive after a traumatic event. Fifth Wall Playhouse's production leans fully into the play's realism and its deeply disturbing and shocking moments, never shying away from discomfort, yet still managing to offer faint but meaningful glimmers of hope by the end. The cast makes every moment and line of dialogue resonate, which grounds the piece with realistic human behavior and actions that should be immediately recognizable to anyone who has ever worked in modern-day corporate America where pay raises and chances of advancement are slim. The direction allows the action to unfold with an unforced, almost documentary-like naturalism that keeps the audience riveted throughout.:   - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
