A Life (Leonard)
by Hugh Leonard
Synopsis
Those who loved Da will remember Drumm, young Charlie’s employer.
In A Life , this intriguing character is at the end of his life and setting his emotional accounts in order.
Two casts represent the young and the old Desmond Drumm, his simple and loving wife, and the one true love of his life, who rejected him for a lovable ne’er-do-well.
Now near death and isolated from the world by his “high principles,” Drumm comes to realize he has never given his life or the people in it a chance.
