About this audiobook
Two boys commit a murder – not for gain, or out of passion – just to do it, just to experience the thrill. Based on the infamous 1924 trial of Leopold and Loeb, Never the Sinner is their story, and the story of one of the most famous American lawyers and civil libertarians, Clarence Darrow. In the case of a lifetime, Darrow is called in to defend the monstrous and win freedom for the depraved.
An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring Thomas Carroll, David Darlow, William Larson, Ron Livingston, Darren Matthias, Tom Mula, Denis P. O'Hare and Donna Powers.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This fantastic play is about the trial of Leopold and Loeb, two 19/20 year old boys who plead guilty to murder. It's something of a companion piece to "Thrill Me," which I have not yet read, but after seeing a selection of music performed from it, I'm fascinated by the story and I want to devour anything I can find on it. The characters are fascinating, partially due to the fact that they are based on real people. There's always something intriguing about delving into the mind of a sociopath, if only to see what life looks like through the eyes of a madman. Definitely recommended.
