Some background: In 1948 Alfred Hitchcock adapted Patrick Hamilton’s 1929 play Rope into a movie about a couple of young gay men trying to get away with murder, which he shot on an elaborate set that pulled apart to facilitate a series of long takes designed to make the film appear almost completely unedited. It’s especially interesting technically–the story and sex politics subtext being rather clumsy–which is why this new backstage video theater piece by Reid Farrington about four men working on Hitch’s set might be better than the movie it’s based on.
