Three Scenes in the Life of a Trotskyist traces the forty-year story of Lev Trachtenberg from idealistic radical to hard-core conservative. This horrifies his one-time comrades, who wonder: has Lev abandoned his old ideals, or held onto them too tightly as the world around him changed? Three Scenes is a play about politics, literature, and the corrosive power of success in America.
