Never the Sinner by John Logan

A
true
“Crime
of
the
Century”:
Chicago,
May
21,
1924.
Nathan
Leopold
Jr.,
age
18,
and
Robert
Loeb,
age
19,
killed
14-year-old
Bobby
Franks
for
the
thrill
of
it.
Legendary
attorney
Clarence
Darrow
defended
them,
pleading
eloquently
against
capital
punishment
in
a
sensational
trial.
Why
would
uber-wealthy
young
men
murder
an
innocent
boy?
What
demons
lurked
behind
Loeb’s
flashing
good
looks
and
behind
Leopold’s
saturnine
intellect?
Did
these
self-proclaimed
Nietzschean
“supermen”
function
as
a
double-organism?
Were
they
simply
born
without
human
empathy?
This
exquisite
Off-Broadway
hit
explores
the
complex
relationship
between
these
two
who
longed
to
create
a
private
world
of
fevered
intellect
and
romantic
passion.
This
event
will
stream
virtually
Friday
and
Saturday,
April
9th
and
10th
at
8:00
PM
and
Sunday,
April
11th
at
2:00
PM.
