Death
On November 28, 2004, Leroy Aarons died of cancer. He was 70 years old.
At the time of his death, Aarons was working on another play, Night Nurse, about South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, for which he and his life partner of 24 years, Joshua Boneh, had spent a month in South Africa doing research earlier that year. An actor and producer in Berkeley, California performed it as a work-in-progress in Mill Valley. The play has not yet been completed.
Joshua Boneh carries on Aarons’s work.
