More information about Good Night, and Good Luck
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.”
What to watch for
- Today, media companies are merging or dying off, leading to a more expensive, competitive, and corroding journalistic landscape. This story, then, feels prescient in what it addresses. Joseph McCarthy has been portrayed in many works; recently, Chris Bauer played him opposite Tony winner Will Brill (Stereophonic) on the TV series Fellow Travelers.
- A highly decorated actor, George Clooney is a four-time Golden Globe Award winner, a two-time Academy Award winner and a 2022 Kennedy Center Honoree.
- Clooney’s wife, Amal Clooney, is a dedicated human rights lawyer whose work dovetails with themes in the play — she often advocates for wronged journalists and represents media clients.
