NEVER THE SINNER Opens Tonight at Sam Bass Theatre

Chicago, May 21,1924. Nathan Leopold Jr., age 18, and Richard Loeb, age 19, killed 14 year old Bobby Franks and were quickly apprehend­ed when Leopold's glasses were found near the corpse. Clarence Darrow defended them, pleading eloquently against capital punish­ment. This exquisite Off Broadway hit explore the complex relationship between Leopold and Loeb, who longed to create a private world of fevered intellect and romantic passion. The au­thor suggests that, given twists of fate and char­acter, Leopold and Loeb could be anyone who has loved too much, had a broken heart, want­ed to prove everlasting devotion, or looked at a loved one and thought "I'd die for you...I'd kill for you. This is a love story set to themes of crime and punishment, the press, the times, Ni­etzsche's philosophy and the end of the jazz age.
