Geneva, NY – An area playwright uses the region's most notorious killer to explore the light and dark spots of another man's soul. WRVO's Dave Bullard speaks with Lisa Marra about her play, "Mystic Castle", which involves Arthur Shawcross, the man who killed a dozen prostitutes in Rochester in the 1980s and two children in Watertown in the 1970s.
