Levy Lee Simon is an award-winning American playwright perhaps best known for his trilogy about the struggle for Haitian independence, ''For the Love of Freedom''. ==Biography== Levy "Lee" Simon, Jr. was born in Harlem, New York. While an undergraduate at Cheyney State College in Pennsylvania in the early 1980s, Levy first became seriously interested in the theatre. His girlfriend at the time had purchased tickets for them to see ''For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf''. "The Lady in Red", a character in the play, performed a piece about Toussaint L'Ouverture, which inspired Simon to learn more about the Haitian revolt. This eventually led to the development of his trilogy ''For the Love of Freedom''.〔 〕 Other plays by Simon include: ''The Bow-Wow Club'' and ''God, the Crackhouse, and the Devil'', ''Same Train'', ''The Stuttering Preacher'', ''The Guest at Central Park West'', ''Caseload'', ''Pitbulls and Daffodils'', ''The Last Revolutionary'', and ''The Magnificent Dunbar Hotel'', scheduled to premiere November 2014, at the Robey Theatre Company, LA.〔 〕 His screenplay adaptation of ''The Bow-Wow Club'' was optioned by Fox Searchlight and Spirit Dance, Forest Whitaker's production company.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Levy Lee Simon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
