“Actors Christian McKay and Zac Efron attend the ‘Me and Orson Welles’ plaque unveiling at the site of the original Mercury Theater.” - Life
Who We Are
The official U.S. tumblog for the upcoming Richard Linklater film "Me and Orson Welles."
Set in 1930's New York City, a young aspiring actor (Zac Efron) is 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".
Throughout the exciting and maddening rehearsal process, Efron finds romance with a wordly older woman (Claire Danes), becomes immersed in a creative experience few are afforded, and learns the downside of crossing the imperious, brilliant Orson Welles (newcomer Christian McKay).
