How the Seven Deadly Sins Got Writer Leslye Headland to Broadway


Writer Leslye Headland discusses her play 'Cult of Love,' her Broadway debut and the last of her cycle of plays about deadly sins.

For Leslye Headland, the well-received Broadway play “ Cult of Love ” (pictured above) serves as a turning point and a culmination. She described the idea for the seven-play cycle as akin to divine inspiration: “I had written one play and I was very frustrated that I couldn’t write another one, and then I had this moment where I felt like it’s part of something bigger.” Also on “Stagecraft,” Headland discussed her longtime love for “Star Wars” and her experience playing in that sandbox with “The Acolyte,” which premiered in June and was not picked up for a second season.
