"Riveting, explosive, and inspiring drama, starkly emotive, reaffirm[s] the belief that one person could indeed make a difference." -Huffington Post.

"[A] coherent testimony of fundamental, frightening and shameful oppression of women all over the world in the name of traditional economical, political and physical male power. It is an overwhelming experience to hear these women through the actors: brief, unsentimental, universal and personal. One cries. And becomes a little wiser." -Dagens Nyheter (Sweden).

“A powerful documentary play about seven amazing women... SEVEN tells their stories in a simple setting on stage - stories that are interwoven together in a gripping, sad but inspiring tale of women who've overcome tragedy, rape, death threats, illiteracy, extreme poverty, the sex trade and more to rise up, care for others and become leaders in their corner of the world.”

“Art and activism shared the stage at the 92^nd Street Y’s presentation of SEVEN... The result was riveting, explosive, and inspiring drama.”

– Marcia G. Yerman, Huffington Post

“A new play can’t get a much better showcase than the documentary work SEVEN received at the Harman Center...It was impossible not to be inspired by the widely varying examples of courage that the project corralled…The script is based on interviews, the women from around the globe , are rendered as interlinked…the piece moves fast…the staging dynamic, as the performers took roles in each other’s accounts, and the activist aesthetic made the evening personable but pointed. SEVEN was persuasive in its twin convictions that there is much work yet to be done…and that ardent, informative drama can do its part.”

– Nelson Pressley, Washington Post
