The Stadium Steps is actually two tales. It¿s the story of a probation officer, the son of a slain police officer, raised by his mother and a parish priest who becomes a surrogate father to the boy. But Father Iggy is more than a paternal figure in the life of Michael O¿Shea. The priest becomes his boxing coach and, at an early age, may have sowed the seeds for the traumatic brain injury which leads to O¿Sheäs placement in a medical facility for patients with brain trauma. O¿Shea soon finds that all is not as it appears in the Pacific Dunes Rehabilitative Hospital, and like the carpenter who can¿t bring herself to hire someone else to repair a broken piece of furniture, O¿Shea takes matters into his own hands. At the end of the day, The Stadium Steps is a morality tale, so at its conclusion, like these characters, you ask the same question: ¿What would you do if you were Michael Ignatius O¿Shea?¿ ¿
