THRILL ME: THE LEOPOLD AND LOEB STORY

SEYMOUR CENTRE, SYDNEY

Relationships can be murder. It's 1924, and two wealthy University of Chicago students believe themselves to be Nietzschean 'supermen', superior to the rest of society. But when they forge their dark plans to commit the 'perfect crime', things don't unfold exactly as they'd planned. Infatuation and love meets psychotic compulsion, in THRILL ME: The Leopold & Loeb Story the award-winning Off-Broadway musical written by Stephen Dolginoff at the Seymour Centre from February 24 to March 6, 2010. 
 
THRILL ME: The Leopold & Loeb Story is a cautionary tale of obsession, co-dependency and addiction to another. The musical tells the tale of two infamous students of the University of Chicago, Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, who brutally murdered fourteen-year-old Bobby Franks in the mid-1920s, and were sentenced to life in prison. Wealthy and intellectually prodigious, the two boys are consumed by their desire to commit the ultimate crime undetected. Fastened in a master-slave relationship and completely absorbed in each other, their intimate connection twists beyond the realm of normal and leads them to make a horrible life-changing decision.
 
Written by award-winning New York playwright-composer Stephen Dolginoff, THRILL ME: The Leopold & Loeb Story has achieved international recognition and is a must-see for all lovers of musical masterpieces and those who have ever felt consumed by their love for someone. "Startling, provocative... freezes the blood and keeps you wanting more!" (New York Observer); brace yourself and let THRILL ME: The Leopold & Loeb Story do just that.  
 
A smoldering line-up of music, theatre and conversation celebrating all things queer is showing at the Seymour Centre beginning in February and continuing throughout the month of March.  www.seymourcentre.com
