  • Me and Orson Welles Review

    Me and Orson Welles Poster

    I’d better write this up.. I dropped in to the lunchtime Openline show on DCUFM to do a review of this yesterday.

    The IFI in Dublin was the venue for a preview and Q&A session with Christian McKay, star of Me and Orson Welles.

    Based on the book by Ropert Kaplow, the story takes place in 1937 in the week leading to the legendary opening of Julius Caesar in the Mercury Theatre off Broadway.  Newcomer McKay, plays the role of Welles,  while High School Musical hero, Zac Efron plays Richard Samuels, a youngster in search of a big break.

    McKay is a wonder as the colourful Welles and the resemblence is uncanny. He brings Welles’ mood swings and gigantic personality to life.  Efron, who is a surprising good actor, still gets his chance to sing a little with a little ukulele number.
