“An extraordinary ensemble of fourteen highly skilled actors tell the story…There is also Hadas (the excellent Alyssa Simon) and her young daughter Mica (Rebecca Lynn Goldfarb, making her Off-Broadway debut) who remain in hiding in a safe room at the kibbutz for most of the attack.” - Charles Kruger, Stageandcinema.com
“The testimonies of the survivors are delivered by the cast at a frenetic pace that conveys the terror and confusion of the day’s events…This involved both extended physical and emotional gymnastics on a mostly bare stage.” - Judd Hollander, The Epoch Times
“Told mostly in direct address monologues, the cast is uniformly excellent, and quick costume changes keep things moving.” - Brett Singer, theaterscene.net
“…The ensemble of about 14 avoids overacting and there is a weight to the play, The actors portray characters in fear and shock.” ~ Alan Zeitlin, jewishpress.com
“October 7 is set at the Nova festival and at a kibbutz, with 14 actors playing a variety of roles on a sparse stage … As I watched the action unfold, I thought that the actors perhaps were just regular people, not professionals, so convincing were they in their ordinariness. Because at its heart, the story of October 7 — is the story of ordinary people who are suddenly called upon to perform the greatest acts of heroism and bravery...” - Jenny Holland, Saving Culture from Itself
“The talented 14-person cast portray multiple characters with great empathy and emotion.” - Jill Schafer, cherryandspoon.com
