George Clooney to Star in Broadway Adaptation of 'Good Night, and Good Luck'

The two-time Oscar winner makes his Broadway debut as Edward R. Murrow in a play exploring journalistic integrity during the McCarthy era.

George Clooney will make his Broadway debut in 'Good Night, and Good Luck,' adapted from his 2005 film of the same name.
Clooney co-wrote the play with Grant Heslov and will portray journalist Edward R. Murrow, a role originally played by David Strathairn in the film.
The play examines Murrow's historic confrontation with Senator Joseph McCarthy during the height of McCarthyism in the 1950s.
The production, directed by David Cromer, will begin previews on March 12 at the Winter Garden Theatre, with opening night scheduled for April 3.
The cast includes Ilana Glazer, Clark Gregg, and a large ensemble portraying real-life figures from the era, with the run set to continue through June 8.
