REVIEWS:

'For frazzled New Yorkers, it’s a familiar story, but one that benefits from the performer’s sharp comic timing and flurries of karate-meets–boot-camp interpretive dance.' **** 
- Time Out New York CRITICS' PICK

'You could talk all day about the pressures that come with being a modern woman and not say it half as well as Charlotte Bydwell shows and tells it in forty-five minutes... Bydwell nailed it!' 
- NYTheatre.com

'...Funny and complicated... an engaging mirror of our own obsessions... With perfect comedic timing and beautifully simple stage directions... Leisure and Panic is beautifully crafted.
