Leon Trotsky

Synopsis:
Leon Trotsky: Trotsky, now living in Mexico, awaiting assassination by Stalin, looks back on his life. The play is an examination of the young revolutionary, the architect of the Russian Revolu-tion, the hero of the Civil War victory over the White Russians and the loser to Stalin in the struggle for power after Lenin's death. It also examines his personal life, his failure as a father to his son and daughter and his two marriages. All the action is in flashback as Trotsky awaits death.

Night Wind, A

Synopsis:
A Night Wind: A murder that took place thirty years ago on the streets of New York propels a playwright to write a film in an attempt to discover who is the actual murderer. The resolution of the play revolves around what the playwright must do when he cannot resolve a situation with his own art. The movie within a play uses '40s music and other stylistic effects to recreate the past.
