    About this ebook

    Gloria: A Life premiered Off-Broadway at the Daryl Roth Theatre in the fall of 2018.

    The play features an all-women cast and incorporates a talking circle with the audience after the conclusion of the show designed to let people share their responses to the show and promote further calls to action.

    Mann wrote and directed Having Our Say, adapted from the book by Sarah L. Delany and Elizabeth Hill Hearth. The play received Tony Award nominations and a Drama Desk nomination.

    Her adaptation of The House of Bernarda Alba, which premiered at the McCarter, was also produced at The Almeida Theater in London.

    Mann’s Broadway directing credits include: A Streetcar Named Desire, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Anna in the Tropics, Execution of Justice, and Having Our Say.

    Additional directing credits include: productions of plays by William Shakespeare, Anton Chekhov, Henrik Ibsen, and Tennessee Williams, the world premiere of Christopher Durang’s Turning Off the Morning News, Ken Ludwig’s adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express, Rachel Bonds’ Five Mile Lake, Danai Gurira’s The Convert; Sarah Treem’s The How and the Why, and Edward Albee’s Me, Myself and I.
