Synopsis: After a chance encounter outside a derelict theatre, Richard Samuels finds himself inside chatting with Orson Welles, the Director of Broadways first Shakespearean production, Julius Caesar. Welles is a bullish, competitive character who is having an affair with the leading lady, despite his wife’s pregnancy. Richard plays on Welles egotistical nature and manages to bluff his way into the role of Lucius. As rehearsals progress Richards total lack of acting ability becomes increasingly apparent and the rest of the company begin to express their concern over the state of the production. However, the wildly flirtatious Orson is too busy conducting radio interviews and seducing young women to take note. The opening night is a success but its short-lived. He tells his family he quit because it didn’t pay and he returns to school and decides to pursue a career in writing instead of acting: he has an idea for a novel about a celebrity genius.
