Love Kills
by Kyle Jarrow
A Canadian Premiere!
“gripping and fascinating” Riverfront Times – St. Louis
October 4th through October 30th, 2010.
OBBIE Award winning playwright Kyle Jarrow’s recent, critically acclaimed “rock
musical” is representative of a theatrical style – blending of song and drama – that
is currently sweeping the alternative theatre scene. The songs support a thought-
provoking script, intensifying the emotional impact of great storytelling. The setting is
the Midwestern United States. Sherriff Merle Karnopp and his wife Gertrude are under
pressure from the FBI to obtain confessions from teenage lovers, Charlie Starkweather
and Caril Fugate, for the killing of eleven people. Based on a true story, Love Kills (the
inspiration for the movies: Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers and Terrence Malick’s
Badlands) is a moving and disturbing examination of criminal behaviour, as all four
characters are forced to examine – and ultimately assume responsibility for – their own
actions and responses.
