The Steinway & Sons Podcast
Reid & Sara Farrington
Reid and Sara Farrington are a husband-and-wife / director-and-playwright New York City theater team. Their current work in progress is BrandoCapote, based on Truman Capote’s 1957 New Yorker Magazine profile of Marlon Brando, “The Duke in His Domain.” The play is the Farringtons’ follow-up to the 2017 Drama Desk–nominated CasablancaBox. With Steinway & Sons’ and listenmusicculture.com Editor in Chief Ben Finane, the Farringtons discuss Marlon Brando, Truman Capote, and creating theater from unlikely sources.
‘We’re interested in bringing a contemporary form of theater to a wider audience and so we’re choosing subjects that people have access to — and easy access to the source material.’
