Orson's Shadow

Orson's Shadow

By Austin Pendleton

June 6 - July 6, 2008

The Circuit Playhouse, 1705 Poplar Avenue, Memphis, TN

In 1960 in the West End London theatre district, legendary critic Kenneth Tynan makes a startling proposal: Orson Welles should direct Laurence Olivier and the young Joan Plowright in Rhinoceros, Ionesco’s absurdist masterpiece. But it is the rehearsal process that brims with absurdity and egos as titanic personalities, including Vivien Leigh, wrestle the muse in this ingenious, witty, and incisive depiction of the drama of theatre. “...a highly entertaining romp through a forgotten moment in theatrical history...” - Chicago Sun-Times.
