The Schoolhouse Theater presents "Rope" in a Zoom Matinee Saturday @ 3pm
Saturday, August 27th at 3:00 pm (EST)
“Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive…”
Just before hosting a dinner party, Philip Morgan and Brandon Shaw
strangle a mutual friend to death-
WITH A ROPE…
Infatuated with each other and the notion of Nietzsche’s “Superior Man” they kill their hapless friend merely as a philosophical exercise… Hiding the body in a chest upon which they then arrange a buffet dinner, the pair welcome their guests, including the victim’s unsuspecting fiancée and their older friend, Rupert…
This dark story written in 1929, presages the Nazi embrace of the “Super” man and was clearly inspired by the sensational murder case of Leopold and Loeb…
A little Hitchcock anyone?
Come see our twisted tale…
Curtain going up at 3!
