Zero Hour

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.Zero Hour, written and performed by Jim Brochu, will be performed in conjunction with I Am My Own Wife in repertory style. The plays will share essential technical elements and will be performed in the same theater on alternating days. Zero Hour performs on the following days: April 20th, 22nd, 25th, 27th and 29th, and May 1st, 3rd, 5th, 9th and the 11th-13th.
