The Dialogues of Leopold and Loeb

This is the original version of Brad Walton’s “The Dialogues of Leopold and Loeb.“ A substantial revision is currently in the works. The play focuses on the year preceding the crime, beginning at Loeb’s return from Ann Arbor and concluding with their incarceration in the Cook County Jail, as they await trial. It attempts an in-depth exploration of their personalities and of the dyamics of their bizarre relationship. Meticulously based on the primary sources: trial transcripts, psychological reports, newspaper coverage, published interviews, letters, memoirs, the play is, in fact, a sort of docudrama.
