Product Description

Product Description

Genre: Drama

Characters: 6 males, 2 females

Scenery: Interior

For the mere sake of adventure, danger, and the "fun of the thing," Wyndham Brandon persuades his weak minded friend, Charles Granillo, to assist him in the murder of a fellow undergraduate, a perfectly harmless man named 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. The horror and tension are worked up gradually; thunder grows outside, the guests leave, and we see the reactions of the two murderers, watched closely by the suspecting lame poet, Rupert Cadell. Finally they break down under the strain and confess their guilt.

Rope (a play) 4 Aug 2009
By Dr. Greg - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This play is based on an actual incident involving two wealthy prep boys who murdered a 14 year old "for the thrill of it." There is plenty of intrigue in this work, and it formed the basis of the 1948 Alfred Hitchcock film "Rope." Hitch modified the play and removed the homosexual aspect of the players, yet the film version has several subtle visual incidents to ignite one's homophobic tendencies! Great reading. Should be read first before seeing the film version.
