Assistance (2008) is a play written by Leslye Headland which depicts the workplace of the world-renowned Daniel Weisinger (likely based on Harvey Weinstein, for whom Headland worked as an assistant).[1] Because of Weisenger's overpowering and often illogical nature, the workers quickly learn that their salary and aspirations of promotion come at a heavy cost. Under Weisinger, the characters must switch from "being human...to being assistants." The play is the third installment of Headland's "Seven Deadly Sins" plays. The series includes Cinephillia (lust), Bachelorette (gluttony), Assistance (greed), Surfer Girl (sloth), Reverb (wrath), The Accidental Blonde (envy), and Cult of Love (pride).[2] Headland wrote and directed the 2012 film version of Bachelorette. Dramatists Play Service published Assistance in June 2013.[3]
