Working with his longtime collaborator Grant Heslov, George Clooney adapts the 2005 film the two co-wrote that earned them an Academy Award nomination. Now, his performance and playwriting credit marks Clooney’s Broadway debut, which particularly excites the Hollywood A-lister. “I am honored, after all these years, to be coming back to the stage and especially, to Broadway, the art form and the venue that every actor aspires to," he said in a statement.
He will work alongside another starry name: David Cromer, who has multiple Broadway shows under his belt plus Tony and Obie awards. A MacArthur Fellow, Cromer said of Clooney's role in a statement that “Edward R. Murrow operated from a kind of moral clarity that feels vanishingly rare in today’s media landscape. There was an immediacy in those early live television broadcasts that today can only be effectively captured on stage, in front of a live audience.”
