Press Reviews
"The theatrical equivalent of a triple-shot espresso, bristling with propulsive nerviness and high style…ferociously funny.” —Los Angeles Times. “Headland can unleash a rapid-fire comic blitzkrieg with a spot-on ear for the way 20-somethings relate to each other.” —New York Post. ”Leslye Headland's viciously funny ASSISTANCE aspires to be a Gen Y Glengarry with a sweeter finish and a place for women. Headland is a puckish weaver of sharp, pinging dialogue, a modern-day screwball patter."
