The Absolute Brightness of Leonard Pelkey

“BRAVO! A tale that shimmers with needling suspense. James Lecesne’s multi-hued performance glows with such humanity (and robust humor) that you may find yourself choking back a tear or two.” -Charles Isherwood, The New York Times

From the writer of the Academy Award-winning film Trevor comes The Absolute Brightness of Leonard Pelkey, written and performed by James Lecesne, directed by Tony Speciale, with original music by Tony Award-winning composer Duncan Sheik (Spring Awakening).

Absolute Brightness is about the disappearance of Leonard Pelkey, a 14-year-old boy who dared to be different, and the small New Jersey town that will never be the same without him.
