RAISING KANE

In 1941 a precocious young upstart of New York’s glittering theatre scene decided to try his hand at making a movie, and accidentally created the greatest motion picture of all time. His name was Orson Welles and this is his story.

Told live and exclusively in Black and White, Fake Escape Artistic Director David Shopland returns to the stage after more than a decade to portray one of the most unique personalities in Hollywood history.

Witness the ups, downs, disasters and triumphs of one of the most unbelievable true stories from the Golden Age of cinema as Shopland takes on the iconic Welles in an hour of merriment, myth and maybe a touch of magic.
