Me and Orson Welles
Based in real theatrical history, this is a romantic coming-of-age story about a teenage actor who lucks into a role in 'Julius Caesar' as it's being re-imagined by a brilliant, impetuous young director named Orson Welles at his newly-founded Mercury Theater in New York City, 1937. The rollercoaster week leading up to opening night has the charismatic-but-sometimes-cruel Welles (impressive newcomer Christian McKay) staking his career on this risky production, while Richard (Zac Efron) mixes with everyone from starlets to stagehands in behind-the-scenes adventures bound to change him. "One of the best movies about the theatre i've ever seen' - Roger Ebert
