At the center of the orbit of mashed-up relationships is the consummate performance of Sam Guncler. He prowls the stage as a feral Leo with gritty gravitas. He is the “steel man” not just because he lives in Pittsburgh, but also because he has defied death several times, including twice surviving fires, one time while working in a steel mill, so it’s more than a figure of speech to say the steel-spined Leo has been to hell and back.
