“Gordon Farrell, veteran playwright & producer, bring[s] an amazing new play, ‘Girls Who Walked on Glass,’ to life in NYC.... The immersive play is about... different women who share their real-life experiences, albeit traumatic. Farrell even had these women as contributing authors to the show to ensure it was authentic and from the heart... very original!."

"Unforgettable... GIRLS WHO WALKED ON GLASS [is] a work of art – a play that wrestles with difficult and divisive issues in a way that embraces complexity and encourages empathy... Each of the women [in GIRLS WHO WALKED ON GLASS] has been dealt some lousy cards in life, but they don’t fold, and as a matter of fact, they take charge of their lives, but not like a Disney heroine... GIRLS WHO WALKED ON GLASS [is] immersive, intense, and in your face, and it’s a play that will stay with you. 4 out of 5 Stars"
- Peter Hall, Buffalo Rising Magazine
"Truly an immersive experience and a unique one. Very engaging [and] well written... the language is very graphic, as the women relate their sexual experiences, those they chose, and those forced upon them. They speak of their life choices and why they made them... all searching for a sense of power... [their stories] get messy, like life."
- Ann Marie Cusella, Buffalo Vibe Online
"Broadway playwright Gordon Farrell... creates a new maze of storytelling, where the audience literally walks along the journey with these women as they cope with life’s unpredictable, jagged edges.
Buffalo audiences will remember Mr. Farrell’s work at Alleyway.. Lifespan Of A Fact, Mr Farrell’s latest play, debuted to critical acclaim this season on Broadway at Roundabout’s Studio 54 starring Daniel Radcliffe, Cherry Jones and Bobby Cannavale. The New York Times called Lifespan a 'terrifically engaging Broadway drama.'"

"In the 21st Century the lives of women have become even more complex. Each woman must struggle to navigate the difficult and dangerous choices that life throws at them."
- MARISSA TOMEO, MARCH 26th
"This production is an unusual, immersive show which divides the audience into two groups and carefully guides them through multiple rooms. Whether it is in workplaces, restaurants, or living rooms, the audience will experience the pivotal moments in each woman's life. They not only see the story, they live it with these women- feeling first-hand the fear, anxiety and desperation. Many times, it takes them several wrong and even more frightening turns in life in order to finally achieve their ultimate freedom."
