Synopsis: Relationships can be murder. THRILL ME: THE LEOPOLD & LOEB STORY
is a two-character musical drama that recounts the chilling true story of
the legendary duo who committed one of the most infamous and heinous
crimes of the twentieth century. Focusing on their obsessive relationship
and utilizing Leopold's 1958 parole hearing as a framework, THRILL ME
reveals the series of events in 1924 Chicago that led about-to-be law
students Leopold and Loeb to be forever remembered as "the thrill
killers." Nathan Leopold was passionate about Richard Loeb, who was
passionate about crime and excitement. They created a secret agreement to
satisfy each other's needs. Soon Richard convinced Nathan that they
embodied Nietzsche's idea of the "Superman" and were above society. Then
he drew him into his plan to lure a young boy to his death just to prove
they could get away with it. But soon their perfect crime unraveled due to
a careless mistake. Or was it so careless?
