Patrick Hamilton’s Rope is his controversial play said to be inspired by the real-life murder of 14-year-old Bobby Franks in 1924 by University of Chicago students Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb.
Immortalised on film by Alfred Hitchcock, this classic thriller shows what happens when ‘killing for thrills’ gets out of control.
