“Compelling drama . . . Griswold is a must see.” Macey Levin, Berkshire Onstage

“A buoyant exercise in the art of theatre and storytelling” Jeffrey Borak, Berkshire Eagle

“A mind-blowing, laugh out loud, heartbreaking history lesson that could amuse, enrage, and empower you simultaneously … An essential, rousing entertainment that will stimulate you mentally, emotionally, and civically.” Patrick White, Nippertown

“Bridge Street Theatre’s ‘Griswold’ is a must-see! …  Macey Levin, Berkshire On Stage

“Estelle Griswold is brought to vivid life at Bridge Street … The hour long heart of the work, about Griswold’s determination to overturn a law banning birth control in Connecticut set U.S. Supreme Court precedent that would underlie historic decisions from Roe v. Wade to the legalization of same-sex marriage, is both compelling drama and important history.”  Steve Barnes, Times Union

“Little short of thrilling …  the play for just about everyone who likes good theater … a most important play making statements that must not be ignored.”  J. Peter Bergman, Berkshire Edge
