Description

Two plays by world-renowned Off-Broadway playwright Leonard Melfi published for the first time. "The Violinist" is the last play Leonard ever completed. It's full length, just as stunning as any of his earlier works, and also one of his most autobiographical. "The Son of Redhead" is a mesmerizing one-act tragicomedy Leonard wrote in the 1980s. But he gave away his only copy and never thought to track it down. Years later, brother John did the tracking and found it. Also included is "Leonard's Final Odyssey" by his brother John, which reveals all the details surrounding Leonard's mysterious death and disappearance. What happened could have been-and was-something from one of Leonard's own plays. Leonard Melfi died in New York City on October 28, 2001, but was not laid to rest in the Melfi family plot in Binghamton for almost six months, on April 18, 2002. The tragedy, the mistakes, the cover ups, the lies, the desperate search for a beloved family member, friend, and shining light of American avant-garde theatre... all revealed here for the first time.

His was a remarkable talent."-Angelo Zuccolo
