 Hauptmann, TimeLine Theatre Company
Here it is the notorious case of Bruno Richard Hauptmann (played by PJ Powers), the undocumented German immigrant who was accused and ultimately convicted of the 1932 kidnapping and murder of the 20-month-old baby of Charles Lindbergh (Gerrit O'Neill) and his elegant wife, Anne Morrow Lindbergh (the well-cast Tiffany Scott).
In its initial staging, "Hauptmann" seemed to focus more strongly on the media circus surrounding the case, and on the sharp class division between Lindbergh, the world-famous aviator whose solo flight from New York to Paris in 1927 turned him into America's golden boy, and Hauptmann, the ever-struggling immigrant and outsider.
Yet while the drama plants many doubts about the handling of the case—and leaves you with as many questions as answers—it also makes you think that the authorities may very well have caught the right man, even if several other men (and perhaps a woman) were also heavily involved in the crime.
