George Clooney is making his Broadway debut in the play Good Night, and Good Luck and we have new production photos from the show!
The Oscar-winning actor co-wrote the play with his longtime creative partner Grant Heslov and it’s based on the film that they also wrote together.
In the movie, George played the supporting role of Fred Friendly, but is now moving into the lead role of Edward R. Murrow, played by David Strathairn in the film.
In Good Night, and Good Luck, we tune in to the golden age of broadcast journalism and Edward R. Murrow’s legendary, history-altering, on-air showdown with Senator Joseph McCarthy. As McCarthyism casts a shadow over America, Murrow and his news team choose to confront the growing tide of paranoia and propaganda, even if it means turning the federal government and a worried nation against them. The play chronicles a time in American history when truth and journalistic integrity stood up to fearmongering and disinformation—and won.
Also starring Ilana Glazer and Clark Gregg, the play has been breaking box office records on Broadway. The show is currently the top-grossing show on Broadway and it broke the record for the highest weekly gross for a play with $3.3 million during the week ending March 23, according to THR.
