    “ A thought provoking and beautifully heartbreaking play. I was drawn in from the moment the first line was spoken. Mollie Gordon's words speak to the reader in a touching, intense, and truthful tone. Phenomenal. ”

    “ Oh, wow. Wow wow wow. This is a double-fisted punch to the gut of a play, one that tells us exactly what it is going to be in its first LINE and then refuses to allow us to look away. Because why should we? Mollie Gordon plays with time, form, and structure to play and then replay and then reformat and then relayer a trauma that we feel the need to scream out to stop happening, but of course that's not the way the world works. It's heartbreaking and visceral and raw and necessary. Stunning work. ”

    “ Alternating between hilarity and heartbreak, Hartford by Mollie Gordon is a beautiful one-act that doesn't shy away from Babyface's trauma, but ultimately celebrates her journey to finding peace after it. ”

    “ Despite its relatively quick runtime, this play makes a real impact. Babyface quickly brings us into her mind and her world, where dark, knowing humor covers trauma—at least at first. A searing, engaging look at life in our patriarchal society, HARTFORD sparks rich conversations and is a strong programming choice for anyone serving a teen, college-aged, or adult audience. ”
