Set in 1990s and 2010s New York City, The God of Wine is an adaptation about the life and murder of British playwright Joe Orton. Clarence Coo and his collaborators will be spending the day reading an early draft of the script, and will attempt to weave together two narrative threads, set 16 years apart, within the same Brooklyn apartment.

This process is closed to the public.
