Robert Lesser Biography
" Robert Lesser is a writer of plays that attempt to reach the buried life beneath with the charged language of dramatic poetry; with originality of story and character. Though stage plays, they move like movies and could become excellent motion pictures. In here the quest for social justice and the poignancy of the human spirit combine. The attempt to do this is his life story... . It will continue... . "
