Richard Linklater’s latest offering gives the audience a chance to share in a young man’s theatrical adventure in 1937. Zac Efron’s confident and talented character chances upon Orson Welles outside the Mercury Theatre during rehearsals for what became a legendary production of Julius Caesar. We are then introduced to a backstage world of talent, ego, ambition and pettiness as opening night draws near. No prior knowledge of Orson Welles is needed as we are treated to a mesmerising impersonation of the film and theatrical genius by Christian McKay. Through Zac Efron’s eyes we see a spellbinding and yet disappointing sorceror who despite his personal flaws is able to defy all obstacles to his art and demonstrate why he is still revered.
