Rope Presented by: The REP - Pittsburgh Playhouse By Patrick Hamilton, directed by Elmore James. For the mere sake of adventure, danger, and the "fun of the thing," Wyndham Brandon persuades his weak-minded friend, Charles Granillo, to assist him in the murder of a fellow undergraduate. They place the body in a wooden chest, invite a few acquaintances, and host a dinner party with the chest as the supper table.  Elmore James creates an edgy, American-ized version of this psychological drama brimming with shock and suspense.
