At Long Last Leo

THE STORY: Leo Beagle has recently completed a 638-page manifesto on harmony for humanity which he hopes will be the impetus for the next major social movement for the world. Arriving home to his family which includes his depressed mother, philandering father, confused sister, introverted nephew and a neighbor who has always been in love with him, Leo tries to test his principles on this group. The only problem is...he can't get them to read the manifesto. Leo's visit does, however, bring change to the family. Although Leo's mother accuses him of being addicted to hope, the play's moving ending suggests that the desire to save the world and the need to dream is born with each new generation.Stein, Mark is the author of 'At Long Last Leo' with ISBN 9780822200789 and ISBN 0822200783.
