The Ohio State Murders, by Adrienne Kennedy, was originally published in 1992. However, the play was actually commissioned by the Great Lakes Theater Festival of Cleveland, Ohio, in 1989.
Adrienne Kennedy was asked to write a play concerning the history of Cleveland, where she had actually grown up. In an interview, Ms. Kennedy declared that she thought the assignment would have been easy, as she had already created a play about African Americans in Rhode Island, but it turned out to be much harder. She struggled with the creative process for quite some time; then, while she was teaching in California, the Loma Prieta earthquake hit. After experiencing the earthquake, she found new inspiration as new material simply came pouring out.
The play was then directed by Gerald Freedman in 1992. It features stories within a story: Suzanne, the fictional narrator, presents a series of multiple short scenes depicting debasing and humiliating experiences which happened to Suzanne herself as a black college student from 1949 to 1951.
