about From Memory to Transformation: Jewish Women's Voices
From Memory to Transformation

“Life is a post-modern neo-fascist garbage dump and Judith Sloan determinedly rakes through the detritus. Denial of the Fittest is a highly articulate show... funny, intimate, sexy and very frightening...”
The Stage (London)

“(Denial of the Fittest) A world view that sees comedy and tragedy as two bones of the same skeleton in the closet. Superb character acting. And (Judith Sloan’s) juggling is ace!”
The Scotsman

“Sloan’s hyperactive one woman show is possessed by the ghosts of her many-branched family and quirky past. (Sloan) uses pathos as a mojo stick to make us laugh and think.”
The List (Edinburgh)

"Sloan is more than a one-person cast of thousands. In the process of plowing through her personalities, this comic-actress mines her soul, digging ever deeper through layers of long-lost memories and buried emotions. Her quest is to get to the bottom of a mystery surrounding her grandmother, a woman who lost her family in the Holocaust."
The Tampa Tribune

“Sloan wickedly skewers stereotypes.”
The Village Voice
