Good Night, Oscar

Author(s): Doug Wright Running time: 1h 40min approx Age recommendation: 12+ years

Sean Hayes will make his West End debut in this new play by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Doug Wright, playing Oscar Levant: Hollywood actor, concert pianist, and the most subversive wit ever to appear on television during its Golden Age.

It’s 1958, and Jack Paar hosts the hottest late-night talk-show on television. His favourite guest? Wild card Oscar Levant.

Famous for his witty one-liners, Oscar has a favourite: “There’s a fine line between genius and insanity; I have erased this line.”

Tonight, Oscar will prove just that, when he appears live on national TV in an episode that Paar’s audience—and the rest of America—won’t soon forget.
