Reviews of Wasabia
"By the strict rules of Shakespearean theater, Wasabia ought to count as a tragedy. But thanks to Herlich's sharp writing, director Zoya Kachadurian’s unabashedly cheeky choices and charismatic performances from the mostly female cast, this play about death offers an unsentimental celebration of life well-lived."

"Perky, quirky, and easily crushed on...Herlich...show(s) off her considerable writing chops....And while the adorable Herlich and Phillips zestfully enact a range of cringe-inducing scenarios involving bad sex, relationship dysfunction and emotional masochism, you have to admit: These two have terrific chemistry."
-- David Cote, Time Out

"...Ms. Herlich proves that she is not only a gifted writer with the ability to create short sketches which manage to be sweet, funny and (yes) awkward all at once, but she is also a deft comedic actress who can play any number of roles, ranging from whimsical to deadpan, with equal results: an audience that finds itself erupting in laughter as one scene after the next plays out."
