All is Fair in Love and Theatre…

When he lands a role in Orson Welles’ landmark Mercury Theater production of Julius Caesar, his life changes dramatically… Struggling to keep up with Welles’ exacting standards, his eye falls on assistant producer Sonja (Claire Danes).

Critic Reviews:

• " Christian McKay's eerily accurate, rollicking impersonation defines a good half of the movie; it's a fireball of charisma, chutzpah, virtuosity and obstinacy. " – Nick Bradshaw

• " This deceptively modest movie is smartly not a curated compilation of Wellesiana, but rather a warmly observed look at the theater and those souls who live for the arts. " – Nicolas Rapold

• " A smart and charming backstage theater film. " – Dennis Schwartz
