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.

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.
