Leoni: A Play In Five Acts is a dramatic work written by William John Barrett and published in 1841. The play is set in Italy and follows the story of Leoni, a young man who is torn between his love for his country and his loyalty to his king. As the play unfolds, Leoni becomes embroiled in a web of political intrigue and must navigate the treacherous waters of Italian politics in order to stay true to his beliefs and protect those he loves. Along the way, he encounters a cast of characters, including a scheming nobleman, a beautiful and mysterious woman, and a group of revolutionaries who are determined to overthrow the government.
