WESTFIELD, NJ — Opening night of the Westfield Community Players newest play, “Rope,” is March 8. Set in London in the 1920s, the show tells the story of a murder, which is not hidden from the audience, and its fallout. The play was adapted into an Alfred Hitchcock-directed film released in 1948. The Westfield Community Players' adaption is closer to the play than the film. “It's a very academic play, but also quite a thrilling one," said Ross Pohling, who plays Charles Granillo.
