Theater Reviews + Features | Pittsburgh City Paper: My powers of description, which I flatter myself are above average, have met their match in the Playhouse REP production of Rope. I have absolutely no idea what to say.
A 1929 British play by Patrick Hamilton suggested by the Leopold & Loeb case, Rope tells the heartwarming tale of two men who kill a friend for the simple adventure of it, and then serve dinner on the chest in which his body is hidden. The play is remembered, if at all, because Hitchcock turned it into a film shot as one continuous take.
