Read the original LEON short story.
LEON
Spirit sister, Jane, takes a bite from muffin while Beth and Tina are frozen.
The three sisters reminisce about past Christmas holidays.
Cast:
Donna Doyle as Beth
Cathy Russell as Jane
Anne Balch as Tina
Tina and Beth open the box from Jane.
Spirit sister, Jane, shares her death with audience.
Jane plays a final prank on her sisters.
When adapting a short story to a staged play, many elements are typically changed. LEON, the short story is an example of such revisions (especially the ending which was cheerfully and happily received by the audiences). I hope you enjoy both the short story and the staged work.
