Leslye Headland

Published by Dramatists Play Service

3 Male 3 Female

For these young assistants, life is an endless series of humiliations at the hands of their boss-from-hell, a powerful uber-magnate

In rare moments of calm when the phone calls stop rolling, Nick and Nora and their traumatized co-workers question whether all their work will lead to success - or just more work

Leslye Headland's Assistance is a biting, high-octane satire about our attraction to power and what we're willing to sacrifice to stay in its orbit

REVIEWS

" the theatrical equivalent of a triple-shot espresso, bristling with propulsive nerviness and high style ferociously funny" ~ LA Times

"Headland can unleash a rapid-fire comic blitzkrieg with a spot-on ear for the way 20-somethings relate to each other" ~ NY 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" ~ Time Out NY.
