Related Details: Leonard Melfi (February 21, 1932 – October 28, 2001) was an American playwright and actor whose work has been widely produced on the American stage. His plays tended to portray social outcasts with dark secrets spontaneously revealed in moments of great anxiety. He was among the most prominent artists making experimental theatre at the beginnings of the off-off-Broadway movement in the 1960s.
Altogether, Melfi wrote over 70 plays during his lifetime. Having Fun in the Bathroom was directed by Ed Setrakian at La MaMa in 1968. The Raven Rock was directed and produced by Wes Jensby at Nassau Community College before traveling to University at Albany, SUNY and then La MaMa in 1969.[8] Horse Opera was directed by Wilford Leach with music by John Braden at La MaMa in 1974.[9] Birdbath was revived at La MaMa, again directed by O'Horgan, in 1981.
Melfi contributed, along with John Lennon and Sam
Shepard, to the 1969 Broadway musical Oh, Calcutta! He also co-wrote the
screenplay for Mario Monicelli's Lady Liberty, a 1972 film starring William
Devane and Sophia Loren. He appeared in the 1984 film Rent Control in
the role of Milton Goeller.
A number of Melfi's later plays were produced at the Theater for the New
City.
Melfi struggled with alcohol for many years, and eventually moved into the
single room occupancy Narragansett Hotel at Broadway and 93rd Street. On
October 24, 2001, Melfi's niece tried to visit her uncle and found his door
to be locked. She tried again two days later, with no success, and became
worried. The following day, paramedics arrived at the hotel and transported
Melfi to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he died four hours later of congestive
heart failure. Source: Wikipedia.
