Me and Orson Welles

All's Fair in Love and Theatre.

Based in real theatrical history, Me and Orson Welles is a romantic coming-of-age story of a whirlwind week in NYC, 1937. Richard (Zac Efron), is a young aspiring actor thrown into the middle of Orson Welles' Mercury Theatre Company on the eve of the opening of Welles' historic staging of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. During this week, Richard finds romance with a worldly older woman (Claire Danes), becomes immersed in a creative experience few are afforded, and learns the downside of crossing the imperious, brilliant Welles (Christian McKay). Richard is about to grow up FAST.
