Guinea Pig Solo

A visceral, violent, and stunning riff on Büchner's classic WOYZECK. Jose Solo is an Iraq War veteran trapped in post 9/11 New York in this modern American tragedy.

"An inventive madhouse of a play ... I was compelled, amused, scared, offended and jolted ... Leonard comes at you head on and with no holds barred, like no one that I know of at work presently in the theater. He is a force to be reckoned with ... a kind of raw, innocent daredevil committed to his own aesthetic." -David Rabe

"... this genuinely startling piece of theater lodges under the skin like a needy parasite and burrows away long after the final curtain ... It's not to be missed by those who like theater to hit the back of the gut." -Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune

"... haunting and harrowing ... bears the marks of a passionately engaged writer with a poetic soul, a gift for bristling dialogue, a pitch-black comic sensibility and an almost Orwellian view of the world ... based on WOYZECK but utterly contemporary in its reworking ... the kind of catharsis rarely found on the stage." -Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times
