Rope

For the mere sake of adventure, the danger, and the fun of it – Wyndham Brandon persuades his weak minded friend, Charles Granillo, to assist him in the murder of a a perfectly harmless fellow undergraduate, Ronald Raglan. They place the body in a wooden chest, and to add spice to their handiwork, invite a few acquaintances, including the dead youth’s father, to a party, the chest with its gruesome contents serving as a supper table. Loosely on the Leopold and Loeb murder case in 1924, Patrick Hamilton’s Rope remains a highly entertaining play some 90+ years after it was written.
