In 1924, Nathan Leopold Jr. and Richard Loeb abducted and killed fourteen-year-old Bobby Franks, horrifying an entire nation. NEVER THE SINNER is John Logan’s documentary-style play about the case, known in its time as the "crime of the century" and still one of the most notorious. Considering themselves Nietsche's "supermen," the teens decide to commit the "perfect murder" for the thrill of it all, followed by the sensational trial where renowned defense attorney Clarence Darrow is able to get the culprits sentenced to life in prison, rather than the death penalty. This episodic play moves backward and forward in time and challenges audiences to "hate the sin, not the sinner."

"Sweeps the audience into the boys' friendship without losing sight of the brutal murder. Lays out the furor and the legal maneuvering surrounding this 'Trial of the Century' particularly well, suggesting that nothing much has changed."
- The New Yorker

"Brilliant, powerful and cinematic!"
- The Associated Press
