The Clyde Fitch Report: The Erlkings is a new play by Nathanial Sam Shapiro that takes a gimlet-eyed — maybe jaundiced — view of the 1999 Columbine massacre perpetrated by Erik Harris and Dylan Klebold. Named for a German poem that was found in Harris’ journal, and based not just on the murderers’ personal journals but public documents and records, The Erlkings weaves together moments from the lives of these young men as they meticulously plan one of the bloodiest mass killings in American history.
