Summary of Me and Orson Welles Summary of Me and Orson Welles Reviews for Me and Orson Welles An Excerpt from Me and Orson Welles

The irresistible story of a stagestruck boy in the golden age of Broadway—with some very famous supporting characters

Coming in 2009, the major motion picture from the director of Slacker

The irresistible story of a stagestruck boy coming of age in the golden era of Broadway-with some very famous supporting characters-Me and Orson Welles is a romantic farce that reads like a Who's Who of the classic American theater. Called "one of the best depictions of male adolescent yearning ever to hit the page" (Kirkus Reviews), it is sure to translate wonderfully to screen in 2009.

" Richard, in the span of 269 breezy pages, falls in love, has his heart broken, sees his showbiz dreams crushed, and-beautifully, almost imperceptively-becomes a man."
-Entertainment Weekly
