Never the Sinner | March 15

By Tony Award Winner John Logan
Directed by E.T. Wilford

True crime has captivated public interest for centuries, as people are drawn to the dark complexities of human nature and the shocking reality of violence. This play explores the chilling psychology behind the infamous crime and subsequent trial of Leopold & Loeb. The brutality of the murder – committed with premeditation, indifference, and a sense of superiority – reflects not only the horrific nature of the act itself but also the larger questions about morality, privilege, and the human capacity for evil.

The roles in this play are written in such a way that the audience does not sympathize or empathize with the actions of Leopold and Loeb, but more to examine why men, in this capsule of time, behave the way they do, and why other men may respond the way they do.
