Synopsis-A brilliantly tense play from Patrick Hamilton that was the basis of the film by Alfred Hitchcock. There is no such thing as the perfect murder. Or is there?  Two wealthy friends, believing themselves to be intellectually superior to their contemporaries, murder their fellow undergraduate/graduate student purely to see if they can get away with it. They then throw a party, serving food from the top of the trunk where they have hidden the body. Tension and suspicions increase as the evening wears on. "Rope" remains one of the classics of the thriller genre and its themes are still relevant today. 

 

    The play will be directed by Peter Curley, with Barbara Ruban as stage manager.
