Playwright Leslye Headland will return to Second Stage Theatre with the world premiere of her new dark comedy, Layover. The production will begin previews August 2 at Second Stage's Tony Kiser Theatre.

The play follows Shellie and Dex, a pair of strangers on a delayed flight, as they attempt to discover the stories and secrets each other is hiding. Full casting and the complete creative team will be announced in the coming months.

Layover reunites Headland with director Trip Cullman, who previously collaborated on the hit Second Stage Uptown production of Bachelorette in 2010, and the Playwrights Horizons production of Assistance in 2012. Headland is also the author of the film version of Bachelorette, About Last Night, and Sleeping With Other People. Cullman's recent directing credits include Significant Other, Punk Rock, and I'm Gonna Pray for You So Hard.
