About ‘The Glory of Living’:
Set in the rural south, the play focuses on Lisa, a young woman wooed away from her unhappy home life by Clint, a charismatic car thief. Their bad romance takes a dark twist when Lisa procures young women for Clint and brings them back to the motel room where they are held captive and assaulted. An emotionally stunted Lisa murders and buries their victims, but later calls the authorities to reveal the locations of the missing girls’ bodies. Once in the criminal justice system, Lisa and those around her struggle to define and defend her humanity.
A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, Gilman’s riveting play is based on a true story of murder and sexual violence. Gilman’s compassionate play asks us to take a long, hard look at the monsters we make, and the responsibilities we have to one another.
