Published Reviews

"...Filloux's latest activist-minded drama...[is] asking Americans to confront a problem that threatens to poison our democracy all over again. In the wake of the Supreme Court's 2013 invalidation of part of the Voting Rights Act, she's written Selma '65, which resurrects the legacy of Viola Liuzzo, a largely forgotten civil rights activist who was murdered by the Ku Klux Klan shortly after the Selma voting march."

American Theatre Magazine

"With poetic dialogue and powerful imagery...showing us small ordinary details of these two people's lives, Ms. Filloux paints intimate portraits that reveal fragile psyches and a deep desire to be a part of something greater."
