 Frequency Hopping         Trouble in Paradise

Frequency Hopping

Synopsis:
a multidisciplinary play based on the 1940 collaboration between glamorous Hollywood star Hedy Lamarr (1914-2000) and avant-garde composer George Antheil (1900-1959) on a secret communication system. The following info is from the press release: "Based on a remarkable true story, Frequency Hopping re-imagines the relationship between film icon Hedy Lamarr (best known for her nude swimming scene in Ecstasy and star turn in Cecil B. DeMille's Samson and Delilah) and George Antheil ('bad boy' composer of the revolutionary 1924 composition Ballet Mecanique). In 1940, the duo collaborated on a patent for an anti-jamming device to control torpedo guidance. Although largely ignored at the time, their invention is now recognized as the model for 'frequency-hopping spread spectrum', widely used in cellular phone technology. Lamarr was finally recognized for her innovative work when she received the 1997 Pioneer Award from the Electronic Frontier Foundation."
