- This is the original version of Brad Walton's "The Dialogues of Leopold and Loeb." A substantial revision is currently in the works. The play focuses on the year preceding the crime, beginning at Loeb's return from Ann Arbor and concluding with their incarceration in the Cook County Jail, as they await trial. It attempts an in-depth exploration of their personalities and of the dyamics of their bizarre relationship. Meticulously based on the primary sources: trial transcripts, psychological reports, newspaper coverage, published interviews, letters, memoirs, the play is, in fact, a sort of docudrama.

Have just watched this again, after not seeing it for a couple of years. The depth of subtle analysis, not only of the personalities of Leopold and Loeb, but also of the complexities of their baffling relationship is really admirable. So much historical research and psychological reflection has gone into this.
Excellent portrayal of a horrific crime. The Franks home still standing in Chicago.
I just stumbled upon this play about Leopold & Loeb. Thought it was great even using their nicknames. It gave a more interesting and intimate look of two friends/lovers. And the plotting and planing of thrill killers of the Twenties. The actors portrayal was great. You really get the feeling of the intenseness and selfishness between them. And much egos, mental tweaks & sexuality still hold our attention.
AMAZING ACTORS!!!..... I CAN'T FIND THE WORDS.... PURE EVIL....
I really loved this. I found their portrayal of Leopold and Loeb both complicated and revealing from watching this. I really liked the actors and I can't help but wonder if their thoughts of their characters and strange friendship was to be pitied or scorned.
Well, considering that they're murderers, I'd say "scorned." Holy socks...
Great job by the actors and a wonderful show. Some of the reactions by Leopold seem very harsh to someone he was so in love with in life.
59:28 what I have been waiting for 😍
🤢
59:41 Loeb's gonna need some lube
@Leuconost
"Resistance is futile. Your body belongs to me." would sound sexier if he wasn't raping him. I thought they are lovers? why is he making him drunk in order to poke him?! Or are those date rape drugs that he gave him?!
The costumes are very well done in this.
The sexual tension between them is hilarious 😂😂😂
Regarding the substantial revision currently in the works I hope they use the original actors. Also, I hope to hear more of how that is coming along.
Yeah, they are so hot together.
A theatre study? Gotta watch!
Me encanto.
Ojalá hubiera un libro que profundicé la dinámica de esa pareja apasionada y brillantes.
Una historia trágica, pero unidos por el destino y reforjada por ellos mismos.
The scene with the blood is so awful but realistic.
Great work, love it!
*Isn't Tommy your favorite brother? Yeah.*
gòod play impressed.i have read lots about leopold and loeb and its refreshing to see the story as a play on utube
I have never seen leopold played this well, this is so cool. I know that we don't actually have proof of his mannerisms or how he spoke, but this is exactly how I've imagined him and I love hearing lines I've read in his "voice" actually mimicked back how I pictured them. also: does anyone know if the part about churches and his religious obsession is historically accurate? I've read like every primary source that I can find on this case, and I never remember seeing that
also for anyone who thinks being a "fan" of this case is insensitive, or any fans of the case who genuinely idolize these people: did you know that their victim (Bobby Franks), who was 14 at the time, participated in a debate shortly before they killed him where he argued that no one could actually be called a criminal, and therefore no one should be put to death for their crimes? he believed (or at least argued very well) that people did terrible things because they were struggling, and no one deserved to be killed for that. his family knowing that he felt this way is one of the main reasons that Leopold and Loeb weren't sentenced to death, and I find it really sad and strange that that fact is always overlooked. they didn't just make it out by some miracle, their victim saved their lives.
Very good actors, both of them.
Very Interesting
Great job!
💙💫.
Ridiculous clowns!
Sorry, but they're just not that interesting. They weren't geniuses and they weren't even particularly clever murderers. No wonder Hitchcock, et al. had to smarten them up to make them viewable.
Oh right, they are not that interesting. That is why so many books and plays and movies have been made about them.
you graduated h.s. at 13.
The truth is sadder and more boring. They were 2 rich bored privlaged assholes who killed a younger weaker kid who was their neighbor and a family friend. The murder was not particularly "elegant" or clever at all, and their plan fell apart almost instantly. And a FAMILY lost their young innocent SON. A fascination with the criminal mind is understandable, romanticizing it is perverse.
Additionally. it was brought up during the trial Leopold was sexually abused by a female nurse in his youth. And Loeb was murdered in prison by a known homosexual prisoner after most likely refusing his advances, though papers reported he was murdered FOR trying to proposition his murderer. Ultimately, sexual assault played a major part in both the killer's lives. So to INCLUDE A RAPE SCENE between the two men there is no evidence for is disgusting.
I dont really know what you're talking about? Loeb was most likely in a killed over money from a former prison,'kid' and rape fantasy is directly from both boys' description of their sex play
Not to be judgmental, but I choose to be the dissecting opinion in these comments. These actors need some lessons. They seem stiff and unnatural, as if they're saying lines and trying to act. It doesn't look fluid nor authentic. Compare these scenes to the actors' performances in the movie "Compulsion".
I know this is a pretty old comment, but I'm gonna argue for the fun of it. I agree with you on Loeb, but have you looked into what they were actually like? Leopold was incredibly awkward, to the point that while their fellow prisoners hated what the pair did, they forgave and liked Loeb because he was charming, and disliked Leopold because he was so nervous and strange that it made him "seem guilty" to them. if anyone happened to be curious I'm happy to find my sources, but I found his portrayal in Compulsion super inaccurate (I know that they couldn't even use the same names in that movie, so it had to be inaccurate to an extent, but still.)
No
🤢🤢🤮🤮omg so gross
I know they're murderers, but something tells me you're grossed out by something else.
Project much 😂😂😂😂
