Gin & “It”

Wexner Center Residency Award Project


Mar 4 - Mar 7
Performance Space

New media artist, director, and designer Reid Farrington’s innovative ideas about integrating videoscapes into live theater will find instant favor among fans of The Builders Association and The Wooster Group. In Gin & “It,” Farrington’s principal sources are Alfred Hitchcock’s film Rope and its original inspiration: a one-act play by British playwright Patrick Hamilton loosely based on the sensationalized Leopold and Loeb murder case of 1924.
