Leo at Yeshiva

A shabbos ascent into the multi-million-dollar industry of lice-picking.

Three women ferociously feed on their hairiest dreams while swimming in tubs of Pantene.

    As soon as I finished this play, I wanted to go back to the beginning and read it again. The longing that all three of these women feel is so clear and urgent throughout, and it's a relief when they make enough of a connection with each other that they get a brief reprieve from the intensity of that longing. I would love to see a production of this play - the language and the actions are both so theatrical and real-time, in the moment.

    Really enjoyed getting to spend time with these three women that each has their own relationship with Judaism. Loved the long monologues.

    This play features a dark, sexy, sharp, opaque world in the best of ways, sucking the reader in. LEO AT YESHIVA juxtaposes ambition, sexuality, faith and love in a manner that delivers incredible roles for actors.
