Zero Hour

Written and performed by Jim Brochu

REGIONAL PREMIERE

with generous support from Haynes & Boone, LLP

In award-winning actor Jim Brochu's tribute to theatre legend Zero Mostel, a naïve reporter attempts to interview the famously volatile artist, prompting an explosion of memory, humor, outrage and juicy backstage lore. Mostel is remembered for his comedic genius and his definitive roles (Fiddler on the Roof, Ionesco’s Rhinoceros, The Producers), but in the 1950's he was equally known for his place on McCarthy's infamous Hollywood blacklist. Brochu's striking portrayal brings all of Mostel's swagger, ferocity, intelligence and fantastic wit back to the stage in this one-man tour-de-force.
