Gloria: A Life

Why see Gloria: A Life?

A Brand New Bioplay About Feminist Icon Gloria Steinem

At the forefront of the feminist movement since the 60s, best-selling author and political activist Gloria Steinem has spent the decades campaigning and advocating gender, social and racial equality, non-violent conflict resolution, the preservation of the culture of indigenous peoples and peace across the world. Now the inspiring woman's legacy is explored and celebrated in a brand new Off-Broadway play about her extraordinary life during a strictly limited run at the Daryl Roth Theater this Fall.

Starring Christine Lahti and written by multi award-winning American playwright Emily Mann, with direction by Tony winner Diane Paulus and brought to life by an all-female creative and all-female producing team, Gloria: A Life will have an unusual structure. Act one will detail Steinem's life as a feminist activist and writer, whilst Act two opens the floor to a 'talking circle' where a moderator invites the audience to an share their own stories and make connections.

Powerful

Riveting, empowering and incredibly current ! The show was so impactful, I didn’t want it to end...and then it didn’t! The after show talk with the audience was deeply moving. It’s an excellent teaching tool for young and old. Caring men will also be very moved and even if you lived through the decades one probably didn’t know just how powerful Ms Steinem and her friends enpacted our lives. I am grateful to have seen this show. The shows production and multi media qualities were excellent. ... Read more
