***** Highly Recommended **** “Gloria” is a fresh, new, articulate and well-written satire, set among the cubicles in an anonymous publishing office. “Gloria” is consistently well-acted by a talented ensemble cast. The slashing dialogue made me laugh – OK, maybe I was gasping – and it raised a lot of questions, at least in my mind. I’m still not sure how I feel about “Gloria”. 4 Spotlights.
